Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologie- und Umweltpolitik als Mittel gesellschaftlicher Gestaltung wird in den Landern Mittel- und Osteuropas in immer hoherem Masse wissenschaftlich anerkannt, gesellschaftlich gefordert und politisch gewollt, auch um den Anschluss an die entsprechende westeuropaische Politik herzustellen. Dabei geht es um die Reflexion der Folgen und die Behandlung von Fragen der gesellschaftlichen Einbettung bei Technisierungsprojekten. Gegenstand der Beitrage in diesem Band ist die gesellschaftliche Implementation und Integration von technischen Innovationen einschliesslich der technischen Begleitforschung in ausgewahlten Landern Ostmittel- und Osteuropas. Dabei geht es in erster Linie um die Identifizierung von Feldern des gesellschaftlich erwunschten technologischen Fortschritts; um das Aufzeigen von Gestaltungspotentialen und -hemmnissen; und um die Benennung politischer Handlungsspielraume, -optionen und -erfordernisse. Der in dieser Form nahezu einmalige internationale Vergleich erlaubt es, die Bedingungen der Einfuhrung, der Gestaltung und der gesellschaftlichen Integration von Technologien umfassend zu klaren; damit sind auch Ruckschlusse und Impulse fur nationale Konzepte und Strategien moglich.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation assesses the Bank Group's support for environmental sustainability in both the public and private sectors over the past 15 years. It identifies several crucial constraints that need to be addressed, perhaps most importantly insufficient government commitment to environmental goals and weak institutional capacity to deal with them. But constraints within the Bank Group, including insufficient attention to longer-term sustainable development, must be reduced as well. The Bank Group needs improved systems in place across the World Bank, IFC, and MIGA to monitor environmental outcomes and to assess impacts. Better coordination among the three parts of the Bank Group is also among the key challenges.

Download or read book Global Environmental Sustainability written by Choy Yee Keong and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-10-31 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Environmental Sustainability: Case Studies and Analysis of the United Nations' Journey toward Sustainable Development presents an integrated, interdisciplinary analysis of sustainable development, addressing global environmental problems in the contemporary world. It critically examines current actions being taken on global and local scales, particularly in relation to the UN's efforts to promote sustainable development. This approach is supported by empirical analysis, drawing upon a host of interweaving insights spanning economics, politics, ecology, environmental philosophy, and ethics, among others. As a result, it offers a comprehensive and well-balanced assessment of the overall perspective of sustainable development supported by in-depth content analysis, theoretical evaluation, empirical and actual case studies premised on solid data, and actual field work. Also, the book marks a milestone in placing the Covid-19 pandemic into a perspective for understanding the universality of human collective environmental behavior and action.By utilizing in-depth analysis, both quantitative and qualitative, and challenging the status quo of what is expected in the global approach to sustainable development, Global Environmental Sustainability provides the theory and methodology of empirical sustainable development which is especially germane to our advanced society today, which is deeply entrenched in a crisis of environmental morality. More particularly, it serves as a salient source of moral reconstitution of society grounded in empirical reality to liberate man's excessive spirit of individualism and self-aggrandizement to the detriment of the environment. Epistemologically, the book furnishes a remarkable tour de force with a new level of analytical insight to help researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in sustainability and environmental science, as well as the many other disciplines involved in sustainable development, to better understand sustainability from a new perspective and provides a methodological direction to pursue solutions going forward. - Provides a systematic exposition of sustainable development in all its complexity, with all the chapters complementing each other in an integral way - Presents extensive empirical evidence of various environmental problems across the world including China, the United States, Canada, Southeast Asia, South America and Africa, and the extent to which the United Nations has succeeded in driving toward global environmental sustainability - Provides a cogent examination of the treatment of our global commons by some of the world's most powerful leaders - Includes data from field studies and in-depth interviews with indigenous people in Borneo's rainforests of the Malaysian state of Sarawak most affected by environmental change
Download or read book Social Responsibility Sustainability Education and Management written by Matjaž Mulej and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current global economic crises call for social responsibility to replace neo-liberalistic, one-sided and short-term criteria causing monopolies of global enterprises. The triad ‘freedom, brotherhood, equality’ and ‘the invisible hand’ support the hypothesis of interdependence among humans. Humanity’s existence is endangered under the threat of global capitalism, unless the social responsibility’s concept ‘everyone’s social responsibility impacts everyone in society’ becomes the new socio-economic order, realized alongside concepts as ‘interdependence’ and ‘holism’ and using its principles of accountability, transparency, ethical behavior, respect for stakeholders, for the rule of law, for international norms and human rights. Social Responsibility – A non-technological innovation process explores the realm of social responsibility in the context of innovation, business practice and economic crises. Readers can apply related principles to their business practices and enhance their business prospects in a modern environment facing the challenges of socio-economic crises. This volume is intended for graduates and professionals working in government organizations and commercial enterprises, to learn basic concepts about social responsibility and introduce holistic management practices in their daily and professional lives.
