Nesta obra, apresenta-nos um quadro prático de como podem os cidadãos usar um modo holístico de lidar com problemas globais que hoje nos parecem insolúveis: a pobreza extrema e persistente, a degradação ambiental e as injustiças político-económicas; em suma, como contrariá-las para termos um desenvolvimento sustentável.

Download or read book The Age of Sustainable Development written by Jeffrey D. Sachs and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeffrey D. Sachs is one of the world's most perceptive and original analysts of global development. In this major new work he presents a compelling and practical framework for how global citizens can use a holistic way forward to address the seemingly intractable worldwide problems of persistent extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and political-economic injustice: sustainable development. Sachs offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Far more than a rhetorical exercise, this book is designed to inform, inspire, and spur action. Based on Sachs's twelve years as director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, his thirteen years advising the United Nations secretary-general on the Millennium Development Goals, and his recent presentation of these ideas in a popular online course, The Age of Sustainable Development is a landmark publication and clarion call for all who care about our planet and global justice.

This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desconsiderar a influência do ser humano na atual situação da Terra significa alienar-se da realidade. Afinal, o indivíduo tem um papel significativo para a ocorrência da maioria dos problemas pelos quais o globo perpassa, desde as mudanças climáticas até mesmo a pandemia do novo coronavírus, funcionando como um verdadeiro parasita no planeta, para dialogar com a Profa. Dra. Bibiana Graeff, que prefacia esta obra. É, portanto, necessário repensar o papel do ser humano e a sua relação com o meio ambiente que o cerca. Tentativas de recompor essa relação existem, sendo os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável um dos seus mais importantes expoentes. Arquitetado nas Nações Unidas em 2015, os Objetivos tinham como objetivo ser um verdadeiro conjunto de compromissos, formulado para guiar a sociedade internacional em direção ao ‘futuro que queremos’. Ocorre que alcançar os 17 objetivos listados até 2030 não era visto como uma tarefa fácil. A interdependência proeminente, marca da contemporaneidade, exigia um agir tanto global como local, demandando o desenvolvimento de uma teia cooperativa envolvendo não só os diversos Estados e organizações internacionais intergovernamentais e não-governamentais, mas também os entes estatais, as pessoas jurídicas de direito privado e os próprios indivíduos. Assim, se este cenário já era complexo, com o advento da pandemia em meados de 2020, ele se tornou ainda mais desafiador. Alcançar plenamente a Agenda 2030, onde estão listados os Objetivos, tornou-se uma meta ainda mais necessária, embora igualmente mais distante. Em qualquer nível, seja no campo das relações internacionais, seja no campo das relações humanas, muitas ações viram-se ao menos prejudicadas, senão por vezes completamente interrompidas em função das consequências pandêmicas. Diante desse quadro, um questionamento que paira sobre a sociedade é como retomar a via da consecução dos Objetivos. E a presente obra, composta por 24 capítulos assinados exclusivamente por pesquisadoras mulheres, busca debater exatamente os impactos da pandemia nos 17 Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável, assim como apresenta propostas para superar esse cenário.

Download or read book Land Poverty and Livelihoods in an Era of Globalization written by A. Haroon Akram-Lodhi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A host of internationally eminent scholars are brought together here to explore the structural causes of rural poverty and income inequality, as well as the processes of social exclusion and political subordination encountered by the peasantry and rural workers across a wide range of countries. This volume examines the intersection of politics and economics and provides a critical analysis and framework for the study of neo-liberal land policies in the current phase of globalization. Utilizing new empirical evidence from ten countries, it provides an in-depth analysis of key country studies, a comparative analysis of agrarian reforms and their impact on rural poverty in Africa, Asia, Latin America and transition countries. Presenting an agrarian reform policy embedded in an appropriate development strategy, which is able to significantly reduce and hopefully eliminate rural poverty, this work is a key resource for postgraduate students studying in the areas of development economics, development studies and international political economy.

This book was released on 2022-11-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection discusses different aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, brought together under the slogan of “social worlds”. It is a book dedicated to thinking a posteriori about the implications and consequences of the pandemic, bearing in mind that it was a challenge (political, social, economic and philosophical) that tested the limits of human nature and the condition of humans in a world whose logic seems to slip away. In this sense, this volume brings together different approaches to this topic, ranging from philosophy to sociology, and from politics to social work, thus constituting an original work on such a delicate issue.

Download or read book Water Energy Food Nexus and Climate Change in Cities written by Lira Luz Benites Lazaro and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to contribute to the transdisciplinary study of the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus in cities and to help policy makers adopt a more integrated approach to natural resources management in urban environments to face the challenges and threats of climate change. This approach is based on a multidimensional scientific framework that seeks to understand the complex and non-linear interrelationships and interdependencies between water-energy-food under climate change and to generate solutions to reduce trade-offs among development goals and generate co-benefits that help encourage sustainable development and contribute to the achievement of SDGs, mainly SDG 11 (make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable) and SDG 13 (take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts). Governing the WEF nexus in cities is one of the greatest resource challenges of our time, as cities consume large amounts of WEF, but one that can also generate relevant alternatives with which to tackle climate change. To help fostering these alternatives, this book analyzes the governance, institutional and political economy factors that determine the effectiveness of the nexus approach and reviews the potential, the benefits and the policy implications of the adoption of the WEF nexus approach at the urban level. Through a series of hands-on cases, chapters in this book present the opportunities of the WEF nexus approach to achieve innovation and transformative change and discuss concrete areas of synergy and policy initiative to raise urban resilience. Water-Energy-Food Nexus and Climate Change in Cities will serve both as a guide for policy makers as well as a useful resource for students and researchers in fields such as urban studies, public health, environmental sciences, energy studies and public policy interested in learning how cities can represent possibilities to navigate and manage sustainability from local to global.

Book excerpt: A existência da mulher indígena na mitologia é um caso labirintado que nem sempre nos deixa tirar conclusão lógica. Esta peremptória afirmativa nos permite inferir que, em se tratando da mulher sateré-mawé, só é possível conhecermos o seu valor dentro da etnia se localizarmos a inscrita capaz de nos levar até o rastro onde se firma o ethos feminino. Tecer fina tessitura sobre o ethos da mulher sateré-mawé supõe recompor o conjunto de valores arquetípicos que vicejam no dorso do contemporâneo e que pulsam nas veias da tradição, como um escuro potencialmente capaz de ver a luz.

Download or read book WORLD CITIZENSHIP written by ALLÍVIA ROUSE C. RABBANI and published by PEDRO ARTURO ROJAS ARENAS . This book was released on 2023-11-09 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people often use to say that in life we ​​have few privileges. However, most of them fail to measure the greatness of simple, or apparently simple, things like seeing, reading, feeding ourselves, being able to access health services, education, justice, freedom. That simple word contains what, in my opinion, is the greatest wealth we can possess. Freedom to move, think and express ourselves, love and choose who we love. Even destroy or destroy us. This book has made me think about the exercise of freedom, about the way in which the world acts and how we act in it, almost without awareness of what we do, about the way in which we are free to associate, relate and therefore, Freedom forces us (paradoxically) to exercise it within the limits of rationality and responsibility with ourselves and with the planet we inhabit. After all, we have nowhere else to go. What need do we have to establish boundaries, to separate ourselves more each day from the other? Have we ever stopped to think about what the world would be like if we were aware that we could be one, although diverse? This book, like almost never before, has brought me to that point. Dreams, the place of freedom par excellence, can come true if we fight for them with determination. World Citizenship is a possible dream. The articles - chapters that make up this book guide us towards the awakening of individual and collective conscience which, ultimately, is what is desirable, so that we can be citizens of the world, a phrase that has been heard or read many times, but not has been sufficiently well presented or considered. This is a happy exception. The social, economic, cultural, ethnic, and political aspects are addressed clearly, with a language and style that makes it easy to be read and understood. This is not intended to be a book of dogma, but rather a proposal to begin the path towards a better future, built by everyone, compiling the contributions of different visions but that focuses on the Human Being, in our home. Planet Earth. Great progress has already been seen in regional and even international, intercultural, political and economic agreements, which are good, but not so good in terms of the production, distribution, sale and purchase of weapons, substances that, in some parts, are members of the cultural acquis and in others they are considered illegal. These phenomena could well be explained from the perspective of Habermas, Bauman, and others, even at the risk of falling into simplism and/or deterministic reductionism. We are all one, respect for otherness is the key for freedom to be established and thus, the “Global Village” can overcome the crises in which it is immersed, many times due to failures in communication and absence of empathy; the pretension of wanting to impose ideas on others, to dominate through force and not with the force of reason. This is the origin of many unnecessary conflicts. This text is not about proposing a unified vision of Orwell and Huxley, but rather about understanding that we can be united in diversity, as the Baha'i principles clearly state, to cite a current of thought. It is in the communication where we have the best tool to forge a global society, where we can agree on the common goals of the survival and preservation of our habitat, with all that this implies. We have used it efficiently and we have succeeded. Or we have almost achieved it. The creation of blocs such as the European Community, Mercosur, the Arab League, and others, has made it possible to bring together communities similar in thought and interests and thus become stronger to negotiate, assert their rights and defend themselves against possible attacks. However, will it be possible that all groupings can ever be governed by a global control body? Any reader who approaches the text will soon find themselves reflecting on themselves and what they can contribute to improve from within and towards the environment, analyzing concepts such as Globalization and Worlding. It is like a ticket to the world of self- and collective consciousness, allowing you to finally answer whether global citizenship is a possible dream and, if you believe so, set yourself the task of making it a reality. This book does not pretend to be the last word on the issues raised, but it does show us a possible roadmap and, as a conscious reader, I feel obliged to reflect on what I have read, what I have learned, what I can put into practice to make the world a better place, if not already for me, for generations to come.
