Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Para 2050, hasta 3.1 millones de mexicanos pudieran verse obligados a migrar dentro de su propio país por razones climáticas. ¿Cuenta México con políticas públicas y un marco político-legal adecuados para atender este fenómeno? La investigación que sustenta este libro ha encontrado que no es el caso. Por ello, desde una concepción amplia e integradora, los autores desmenuzan el factor climático como impulsor de movimientos poblacionales; crean las taxonomías para comprender los escenarios en los que ello ocurre; e identifican las categorías de migrantes climáticos ejemplificando con datos que estudian a la luz de quienes siendo particularmente vulnerables ya han vivido este tipo de desplazamiento. Además, desde un enfoque de derechos humanos y a partir del territorio como unidad de análisis, elaboran un diagnóstico de la legislación, planes e instrumentos con los que se cuenta en México sobre el tema, y reflexionan la perspectiva de los sistemas socio-ecológicos como estrategia de respuesta. En resumen, estamos ante un libro que aborda una problemática desatendida por las agendas públicas de investigación, que nos permite comprender las dimensiones y falta de respuesta a la migración climática forzada, que nos ofrece elementos de solución desde las políticas públicas.
Download or read book El marco facilitador de la adaptaci n al cambio clim tico en M xico written by Stephanie Victoria Ascencio Serrato and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El canvi climàtic representa un dels majors reptes ambientals de l'actualitat, amb implicacions socials, econòmiques, distributives, polítiques i jurídiques, que amenaça la vida, la seguretat i el futur del planeta. Els impactes del canvi climàtic i, especialment, l'escalfament global, ja es perceben arreu del món i, Mèxic, no n'és una excepció. L'adaptació al canvi climàtic, com a assumpte central en l'agenda política, jurídica i acadèmica a nivell internacional i mexicà, és un tema relativament recent i, per tant, hi ha cert retard en el coneixement generat, especialment en l'àmbit de les polítiques públiques i la regulació jurídica; així com una bretxa entre els esforços enfocats a l'adaptació i els dedicats a la mitigació. Això, ha derivat en una resposta des coordinada, fragmentada i a remolc de la mitigació, tot i reconèixer la importància de l'adaptació per reduir els danys ocasionats pel canvi climàtic i la seva necessària complementarietat amb la mitigació. Aquesta tesi doctoral, per mitjà de l'anàlisi multidisciplinari i integral del procés d'adaptació al canvi climàtic a Mèxic i la seva regulació, pretén: i) contribuir a entendre la complexitat de l'adaptació com a resposta i la seva relació amb altres sectors i estratègies; ii) reduir la bretxa existent entre la mitigació i adaptació i generar un major equilibri entre ambdues; iii) enfortir la resposta d'adaptació de Mèxic en la política i l'àmbit jurídic; i iv) desenvolupar un marc amb propostes i mesures que facilitin l'adaptació arreu del país i promoguin la justícia climàtica.

Download or read book Global Environmental Change written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global environmental change often seems to be the most carefully examined issue of our time. Yet understanding the human sideâ€"human causes of and responses to environmental changeâ€"has not yet received sustained attention. Global Environmental Change offers a strategy for combining the efforts of natural and social scientists to better understand how our actions influence global change and how global change influences us. The volume is accessible to the nonscientist and provides a wide range of examples and case studies. It explores how the attitudes and actions of individuals, governments, and organizations intertwine to leave their mark on the health of the planet. The book focuses on establishing a framework for this new field of study, identifying problems that must be overcome if we are to deepen our understanding of the human dimensions of global change, presenting conclusions and recommendations.
Download or read book Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design written by Patrick A. Ray and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design describes an approach to facing two fundamental and unavoidable issues brought about by climate change uncertainty in water resources planning and project design. The first is a risk assessment problem. The second relates to risk management. This book provides background on the risks relevant in water systems planning, the different approaches to scenario definition in water system planning, and an introduction to the decision-scaling methodology upon which the decision tree is based. The decision tree is described as a scientifically defensible, repeatable, direct and clear method for demonstrating the robustness of a project to climate change. While applicable to all water resources projects, it allocates effort to projects in a way that is consistent with their potential sensitivity to climate risk. The process was designed to be hierarchical, with different stages or phases of analysis triggered based on the findings of the previous phase. An application example is provided followed by a descriptions of some of the tools available for decision making under uncertainty and methods available for climate risk management. The tool was designed for the World Bank but can be applicable in other scenarios where similar challenges arise.
Download or read book Glosario Del Banco Mundial written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1996 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.
Download or read book Connectivity Conservation written by Kevin R. Crooks and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-02 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the biggest threats to the survival of many plant and animal species is the destruction or fragmentation of their natural habitats. The conservation of landscape connections, where animals, plants, and ecological processes can move freely from one habitat to another, is therefore an essential part of any new conservation or environmental protection plan. In practice, however, maintaining, creating, and protecting connectivity in our increasingly dissected world is a daunting challenge. This fascinating volume provides a synthesis on the current status and literature of connectivity conservation research and implementation. It shows the challenges involved in applying existing knowledge to real-world examples and highlights areas in need of further study. Containing contributions from leading scientists and practitioners, this topical and thought-provoking volume will be essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working in conservation biology and natural resource management.
Download or read book The United Nations World Water Development Report 2020 written by UNESCO and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2020 edition of the WWDR, titled Water and Climate Change illustrates the critical linkages between water and climate change in the context of the broader sustainable development agenda. Supported by examples from across the world, it describes both the challenges and opportunities created by climate change, and provides potential responses – in terms of adaptation, mitigation and improved resilience – that can be undertaken by enhancing water resources management, attenuating water-related risks, and improving access to water supply and sanitation services for all in a sustainable manner. It addresses the interrelations between water, people, environment and economics in a changing climate, demonstrating how climate change can be a positive catalyst for improved water management, governance and financing to achieve a sustainable and prosperous world for all. The report provides a fact-based, water-focused contribution to the knowledge base on climate change. It is complementary to existing scientific assessments and designed to support international political frameworks, with the goals of helping the water community tackle the challenges of climate change, and informing the climate change community about the opportunities that improved water management offers in terms of adaptation and mitigation.

Download or read book Mahatma Gandhi written by Dennis Dalton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.
Download or read book Methods in World History written by Arne Jarrick and published by Nordic Academic Press. This book was released on 2016-01-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methods in World History is the first international volume that systematically addresses a number of methodological problems specific to the field of World History. Prompted by a lack of applicable works, the authors advocate a considerable sharpening of the tools used within the discipline. Theories constructed on poor foundations run an obvious risk of reinforcing flawed assumptions, and of propping up other, more ideological constructions. The dedicated critical approach outlined in this volume helps to mitigate such risks. Each essay addresses a particular issue, discussing its problems, giving practical examples, and offering solutions and ways of overcoming the difficulties involved. The perspectives are varied, the criticism focussed, and a common theme of coalescence is maintained throughout. This unique anthology will be of great use to advanced scholars of World History, and to students entering the field for the first time.
