Book excerpt: Depuis la loi du 10 juillet 1976 relative à la protection de la nature, l'étude d'impact des projets d'aménagement pouvant porter atteinte au milieu naturel doit comprendre « les mesures envisagées pour supprimer, réduire et, si possible, compenser les conséquences dommageables pour l'environnement ». Cette disposition légale restée longtemps peu appliquée a été rappelée et réinscrite dans les années 1990 pour devenir la norme dans les projets d'aménagement depuis le milieu des années 2000 et le Grenelle et l'environnement.Structurée autour de la séquence dite « éviter-réduire-compenser », ce dispositif repose sur un principe de non perte nette de biodiversité et vise, selon ses théoriciens et promoteurs, une équivalence écologique entre les gains et les pertes. En France, les études sur la définition et le dimensionnement des mesures compensatoires sont déjà nombreuses, s'intéressant principalement aux méthodes d'équivalences et aux arrangements institutionnels. L'originalité de ce travail de recherche est de s'être focalisé sur les pratiques d'expertises, sur le travail réalisé par celles et ceux qui réalisent les évaluations environnementales, qui instruisent les dossiers réglementaires et qui réalisent les mesures compensatoires. L'analyse produite ici repose ainsi sur une étude ethnographique du travail d'expertise et de contre-expertise tout au long de la procédure réglementaire.La problématique suivie ici s'articule autour de rois axes : comment les équivalences écologiques et les mesures compensatoires sont-elles produites ? ; comment celles-ci deviennent-elles une réalité sociale ? ; quelles sont les conditions (matérielles et idéelles) rendant possibles la compensation écologique ? L'enjeu de cette problématisation est de mieux comprendre le fonctionnement de ce dispositif et de mettre en évidence ce qui lui permet de perdurer malgré ses contradictions intrinsèques et la contestation dont il est l'objet. L'hypothèse centrale de cette thèse est que la forme que prend ce dispositif (ses arrangement institutionnels, les méthodes d'évaluation, les pratiques d'expertise, notamment) sont le résultat des différentes tentatives de résolution des contradictions qui le parcourent. Ce que ce travail de recherche tend à démontrer est que la compensation écologique ne produit pas seulement des mesures et des évaluations environnementales ; elle produit aussi les propres conditions de son développement, le substrat (matériel et idéel) sur lequel ce dispositif peut prospérer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-country research initiative to understand poverty from the eyes of the poor, the Voices of the Poor project was undertaken to inform the World Bank's activities and the upcoming World Development Report 2000/01. The research findings are being published in three books: "Can Anyone Hear Us?" gathers the voices of over 40,000 poor women and men in 50 countries from the World Bank's participatory poverty assessments (Deepa Narayan, Raj Patel, Kai Schafft, Anne Rademacher, and Sarah Koch-Schulte, authors). "Crying Out for Change" pulls together new field work conducted in 1999 in 23 countries (Deepa Narayan, Robert Chambers, Meera Shah, and Patti Petesch, authors). "From Many Lands" offers regional patterns and country case-studies (Deepa Narayan and Patti Petesch, editors). Voices of the Poor marks the first time such an exercise has been undertaken in so many developing countries and transition economies around the world. It provides a unique and detailed picture of the life of the poor and explains the constraints poor people face to escape from poverty in a way that more traditional survey techniques do not capture well. Each of the three volumes demonstrates the importance of voice and power in poor people's definition of poverty. Voices of the Poor concludes that we need to expand our conventional views of poverty which focus on income expenditure, education, and health to include measures of voice and empowerment.

Download or read book Bio aggregate based Building Materials written by Sofiane Amziane and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using plant material as raw materials for construction is a relatively recent and original topic of research. This book presents an overview of the current knowledge on the material properties and environmental impact of construction materials made from plant particles, which are renewable, recyclable and easily available. It focuses on particles and as well on fibers issued from hemp plant, as well as discussing hemp concretes. The book begins by setting the environmental, economic and social context of agro-concretes, before discussing the nature of plant-based aggregates and binders. The formulation, implementation and mechanical behavior of such building materials are the subject of the following chapters. The focus is then put upon the hygrothermal behavior and acoustical properties of hempcrete, followed by the use of plant-based concretes in structures. The book concludes with the study of life-cycle analysis (LCA) of the environmental characteristics of a banked hempcrete wall on a wooden skeleton. Contents 1.

Download or read book Recarbonization of the Biosphere written by Rattan Lal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-28 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human activities are significantly modifying the natural global carbon (C) cycles, and concomitantly influence climate, ecosystems, and state and function of the Earth system. Ever increasing amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) are added to the atmosphere by fossil fuel combustion but the biosphere is a potential C sink. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of C cycling in the biosphere is crucial for identifying and managing biospheric C sinks. Ecosystems with large C stocks which must be protected and sustainably managed are wetlands, peatlands, tropical rainforests, tropical savannas, grasslands, degraded/desertified lands, agricultural lands, and urban lands. However, land-based sinks require long-term management and a protection strategy because C stocks grow with a progressive improvement in ecosystem health.

Download or read book Climate Change and Food Security in West Asia and North Africa written by Mannava V.K. Sivakumar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The countries of West Asia and North Africa (WANA) have long had the challenge of providing sustainable livelihoods for their populations in the fragile ecosystems of semi-arid and arid areas. Climate change is already a reality in WANA and it places additional constraints on the already fragile ecosystems of dry areas and limited natural resources in WANA. A comprehensive and integrated approach to planning and implementing the climate change adaptation strategies across the wide range of agro-ecosystems in different countries in WANA could help both the planners and the local communities to deal effectively with the projected impacts and also contribute to overall sustainability of agricultural production systems. This book addresses the important issue of climate change and food security in West Asia and North Africa and presents the appropriate strategies which could help in the development of new policies to better adapt agriculture production systems and enhance food security in WANA.

Download or read book Water Governance written by Asanga Gunawansa and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÔEnsuring that everybody has access to drinking water, sanitation and enough nutritious food, which depends on water to grow it, are prerequisites for a healthy life. Water management is not just about the technical aspects of water supply and sanitation. It is equally about our water governance systems, including policies, regulation and societal perception of water rights. This book presents many helpful examples of how different societies are dealing with these issues and of the performance of public and private sector players in this important arena.Õ Ð Colin Chartres, International Water Management Institute (IWMI), Colombo, Sri Lanka ÔI congratulate the Institute of Water Policy, the two editors and the contributors for a very thoughtful book on urban water governance. Our objective is to deliver sustainable water and sanitation services to our people. This book contains useful lessons on how to achieve that objective.Õ Ð Tommy Koh, Chairman, Governing Council, Asia-Pacific Water Forum This insightful book explores urban water governance challenges in different parts of the world and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of publicly run, privatized, and publicÐprivate partnership managed water facilities. The contributors expertly discuss various types of public and private water governance architectures as well as identifying the trends, challenges, opportunities and the shifts in perceptions with regard to the provision of water supply services. Many chapters are dedicated to analyzing the urban water supply scenarios in selected countries, with specific focus on legal, policy and institutional frameworks. The study reveals that while private sector participation has been largely promoted by multilateral institutions as part of institutional and financial reforms, ultimately governments bear the major responsibility for provision of water supply services either as Ôservice providerÕ or as Ôregulator and policy-makerÕ. Containing a detailed overview and analysis of the global urban water supply sector, this timely compendium will strongly appeal to academics, researchers and university students following water-related courses. Water sector professionals, water regulators and public officers as well as managers and researchers employed by private sector water operators will also find plenty of invaluable information in this important book.
