This book was released on 2007-09-28 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Estado colombiano, con el apoyo económico internacional y la participación de las comunidades de la región amazónica, inició un proceso que permitió adelantar diálogos y concertaciones sobre las problemáticas que aquejan este importante territorio y sus posibles alternativas de solución. En cada uno de los departamentos de la región, teniendo como insumo lo recogido en años anteriores (fases I y II), se propone una agenda departamental que se espera sea retomada en los ejercicios de planificación y gobierno, así como también que sirva de aporte a pueblos indígenas y comunidad afrocolombiana. Agenda 21 Departamento de Caquetá busca lograr este objetivo, proponiendo líneas de acción para cuatro ejes temáticos, atravesadas por estrategias que permitirán su puesta en marcha de manera integral. Estas líneas de acción no agotan las posibilidades existentes, pero sí tratan de recoger la mirada de los diferentes actores sociales participantes en el proceso. De su desarrollo e integración en los gobiernos municipales y departamental, depende que las próximas generaciones caquetenses nazcan y crezcan en un territorio en paz, con cordilleras, selvas, ríos, fauna, flora y, sobre todo, con hombres y mujeres amazonenses que luchan por el mejoramiento continuo de su calidad de vida y sueñan con una Amazonia exuberante y productiva, sin amenazas a supervivencia.

This book was released on 2007-09-28 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Agenda 21 de La Macarena asume el concepto de desarrollo sostenible, como aquel que “satisface las necesidades de las presentes generaciones sin comprometer las necesidades de las generaciones futuras”, definido en el Informe Bruntland y ratificado en la Cumbre de Río. Esto supone construir un nuevo modelo de desarrollo que, basado en procesos de investigación, reconozca las condiciones especiales del Municipio y promueva nuevas formas de interactuar con el ambiente. Como sucede con todo su entorno regional, La Macarena es un espacio en donde convergen diversas y complejas problemáticas -la economía extractivista, el incremento de los cultivos de uso ilícito, las ineficiencias institucionales y administrativas y las dificultades de orden público, entre otras-, que obligan a todos los actores involucrados a definir acciones y corresponsabilidades conducentes a la resolución integral de los asuntos del desarrollo local. Este documento es el resultado de un ejercicio colectivo y participativo, que busca coadyuvar a redireccionar el actual modelo de desarrollo municipal. Los esfuerzos se concentran en identificar problemáticas, alternativas de solución, estrategias y líneas de acciones concretas y posibles en medio del contexto identificado, haciendo uso de las capacidades locales instaladas.

This book was released on 2007-09-28 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La construcción de la política amazónica colombiana y la implementación de Agenda 21 como herramienta básica para alcanzar el desarrollo sostenible, parten del redescubrimiento de la Amazonia en su gran diversidad, en su condición de territorio donde converge una multiplicidad de variables ecológicas, socioeconómicas, políticas y culturales, que deben ser entendidas en sus articularidades. En este sentido, construir la visión hacia el futuro de la región como resultado de las realidades de cada porción de ella, invariablemente necesita la identificación de los elementos que constituyen las cosmovisiones particulares y su relación con el resto del territorio amazónico como fundamento de un intercambio y un diálogo prospectivos. Es por eso que este documento surge como una síntesis de las características conocidas más sobresalientes del Departamento de Vaupés, en un intento por develar sus condiciones particulares y vislumbrar soluciones para sus problemas. Es un acercamiento a los factores que han permitido la conformación actual del Departamento y una propuesta consecuente de alternativas para potenciar y resolver problemáticas -algunas comunes en el resto de la región amazónica y otras totalmente distintas- que, indiscutiblemente, representa un paso desde la autodeterminación dirigida hacia el logro de la sostenibilidad.

De igual manera, en el proceso se han identificado como actores del desarrollo al individuo, la familia, la comunidad, el sector privado (productivo) y el sector estatal, piezas del proceso de cambio que se quiere imprimir a la sociedad guaviarense.

Download or read book Medell n environment urbanism society written by Michel Hermelin Arbaux and published by Universidad EAFIT. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times what has become known as "the case of Medellín " has generated a growing interest in the international community. These urban transformation that Medellín has experimented have become a focus of attention and reference for experts in many fields, around the world. The book ́Medellin: Environment, Urbanism and Society ́, that now published the Center for Urban and Environmental Studies, Urbam, of EAFIT University is a testimony of the value given by our culture to the accomplishments of the city, to the idea of the public sphere and the growing relationship between the technical sphere and the political sphere, understood in the broad sense as a form of disciplinary knowledge and construction of civil society. This book brings together a knowledge of the city from multiple perspectives; knowledge that is, without any doubt, impressive for its extension and profoundity, as well as for its capacity to combine objective data with conceptual reflections about the scope and impact of the different perspectives concerning the theme of urban transformation and the different actors that have participated in such processes. The book weaves a broad net over the city, its history and development, adopting a multidisciplinary vision. I think that this will be the first step in creating a speech that might finally liberate itself from the strict disciplinary boundaries, building a trans-disciplinary perspective that can amplify the urban dimension of the city. This is the beginning of a profound and complex reflection that is, at the same time, a project of knowledge and an instrument of action and participation.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Download or read book Conservation Is Our Government Now written by Paige West and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-31 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant contribution to political ecology, Conservation Is Our Government Now is an ethnographic examination of the history and social effects of conservation and development efforts in Papua New Guinea. Drawing on extensive fieldwork conducted over a period of seven years, Paige West focuses on the Crater Mountain Wildlife Management Area, the site of a biodiversity conservation project implemented between 1994 and 1999. She describes the interactions between those who ran the program—mostly ngo workers—and the Gimi people who live in the forests surrounding Crater Mountain. West shows that throughout the project there was a profound disconnect between the goals of the two groups. The ngo workers thought that they would encourage conservation and cultivate development by teaching Gimi to value biodiversity as an economic resource. The villagers expected that in exchange for the land, labor, food, and friendship they offered the conservation workers, they would receive benefits, such as medicine and technology. In the end, the divergent nature of each group’s expectations led to disappointment for both. West reveals how every aspect of the Crater Mountain Wildlife Management Area—including ideas of space, place, environment, and society—was socially produced, created by changing configurations of ideas, actions, and material relations not only in Papua New Guinea but also in other locations around the world. Complicating many of the assumptions about nature, culture, and development underlying contemporary conservation efforts, Conservation Is Our Government Now demonstrates the unique capacity of ethnography to illuminate the relationship between the global and the local, between transnational processes and individual lives.

(Oxford Concise Medical Dictionary 1996, 97) Let us begin by stating the obvious. Acts of organized violence are not necessarily of human nature, but they are endogenous events arising within the an intrinsic part evolution of complex systems of social interaction. To be sure, all wars have features in common - people are killed and property is destroyed - but in their origin wars are likely to be at least as different as the social structures from which they arise. Consequently, it is unlikely that there can be a simple theory of the causes of war or the maintenance of peace. The fact that wars are historical events need not discourage us. On the contrary, we should focus our understanding of the dimensions of each conflict, or classes of conflict, on the conjuncture of causes at hand. It follows that the study of conflict must be an interdisciplinary one. It is or a penchant for eclecticism that leads to that conclusion, but the not humility multi-dimensionality of war itself.

Download or read book The Moral Imagination written by John Paul Lederach and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Paul Lederach's work in the field of conciliation and mediation is internationally recognized. He has provided consultation, training and direct mediation in a range of situations from the Miskito/Sandinista conflict in Nicaragua to Somalia, Northern Ireland, Tajikistan, and the Philippines. His influential 1997 book Building Peace has become a classic in the discipline. In this book, Lederach poses the question, "How do we transcend the cycles of violence that bewitch our human community while still living in them?" Peacebuilding, in his view, is both a learned skill and an art. Finding this art, he says, requires a worldview shift. Conflict professionals must envision their work as a creative act-an exercise of what Lederach terms the "moral imagination." This imagination must, however, emerge from and speak to the hard realities of human affairs. The peacebuilder must have one foot in what is and one foot beyond what exists. The book is organized around four guiding stories that point to the moral imagination but are incomplete. Lederach seeks to understand what happened in these individual cases and how they are relevant to large-scale change. His purpose is not to propose a grand new theory. Instead he wishes to stay close to the "messiness" of real processes and change, and to recognize the serendipitous nature of the discoveries and insights that emerge along the way. overwhelmed the equally important creative process. Like most professional peacemakers, Lederach sees his work as a religious vocation. Lederach meditates on his own calling and on the spirituality that moves ordinary people to reject violence and seek reconciliation. Drawing on his twenty-five years of experience in the field he explores the evolution of his understanding of peacebuilding and points the way toward the future of the art." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2004011794-d.html.

This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly three years ago, world leaders agreed to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – the central framework for guiding development policies throughout the world. This edition of The State of the World’s Forests is aimed at enhancing our understanding of how forests and their sustainable management contribute to achieving several of the SDGs. Time is running out for the world’s forests: we need to work across sectors, bring stakeholders together, and take urgent action. The State of the World’s Forests 2018 identifies actions that can be taken to increase the contributions of forests and trees that are necessary to accelerate progress towards the SDGs. It is now critical that steps be taken to work more effectively with the private sector, and the informal forest sector must be transformed in order to bring broader economic, social and environmental benefits. Seventy years ago, when FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources, the major concern was whether there would be enough timber to supply global demand; now we recognize the greater global relevance of our forests and trees. For the first time, The State of the World’s Forests 2018 provides an assessment of the contribution of forests and trees to our landscapes and livelihoods. The purpose of this publication is to provide a much wider audience with an understanding of why forests and trees matter for people, the planet and posterity.
