L'ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants des 1er et 2e cycles universitaires, des écoles d'ingénieurs, des IEP et des écoles de commerce. Il constitue également un ouvrage de référence pour tous ceux qui souhaitent appréhender correctement les enjeux et les problèmes qu'impose, dans le contexte actuel, la mise en oeuvre d'un développement plus durable.
Download or read book D veloppement Durable written by Philippe J. Crabbé and published by Industrie Canada 1997.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After providing an historical perspective, the paper presents in a first part the three dimensions of SD and eight attributes that are common to most approaches even though these properties are variously interpreted and a common SD definition to most approaches is still elusive. This is followed by a look at the way neo-classical economics has attempted to fomalize these properties. The paper then discusses the concept of carrying capacity. In a second part, the paper examines SD at the international level from both a theoretical and institutional point of view. A third part of this paper looks at SD in an open economy. In a fourth part, the paper looks at SD at the industrial level. Finally, in a fifth part, the paper examines how external and internal factors contribute to promoting SD at the firm level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans quelle mesure la science économique peut-elle contribuer au développement durable ? Cette nouvelle édition très attendue, entièrement actualisée et mise à jour, répond à la question, en abordant successivement les théories du marché efficient, de l’économie de l’environnement et de l’économie écologique, tout en insistant sur une combinaison optimale de plusieurs instruments issus du raisonnement économique. Résolument orienté vers la politique environnementale, il offre une synthèse systématique des actions à entreprendre pour concrétiser le développement durable. Il présente notamment les techniques d’évaluation de l’environnement, en distinguant l’évaluation monétaire et non monétaire, discute les avantages et les inconvénients des différents instruments de la politique économique confrontée à la pollution, analyse des coûts environnementaux du transport international et explique d’une manière succincte les principaux apports de l’économie des ressources naturelles. Les dimensions sociale et environnementale du développement durable sont étudiées ici du point de vue des sciences économiques. Cette étude veut ainsi contribuer à la promotion de l’industrie écologique et à la gestion durable des entreprises. Elle se situe dans le débat sur la croissance versus la décroissance. La troisième édition actualisée et remise à jour porte également sur les changements climatiques. Destiné aux enseignants et étudiants des 2e et 3e cycles en sciences économiques, commerciales et sociales, l'ouvrage analyse donc, dans une option interdisciplinaire, les interactions entre les dimensions économiques, sociale et environnementale du développement durable.
Download or read book Une couverture sanitaire universelle pour un d veloppement durable inclusif written by Akiko Maeda and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La CSU a pour objectifs de s’assurer que tous peuvent avoir accès à des services de santé de qualité, de préserver l’ensemble des individus contre les risques à la santé publique et de protéger toutes les personnes contre l’appauvrissement attribuable à la maladie. Des pays aussi divers que le Brésil, la France, le Japon, la Thaïlande et la Turquie ont réussi à mettre en œuvre la CSU et illustrent comment ces programmes peuvent à la fois agir en tant que dispositifs essentiels d’amélioration de la santé et du bien-être de leurs citoyens et mettre en place les fondations d’une croissance économique basée sur des principes d’équité et de durabilité. L’assurance d’un accès universel à des services de santé abordables et de qualité contribuera de façon importante à l’éradication de la pauvreté extrême en 2030 et à la stimulation d’une prospérité partagée dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire, où vit la majorité de la population pauvre mondiale. 'La couverture sanitaire universelle pour un développement durable inclusif' synthétise les expériences de 11 pays †“ Bangladesh, Brésil, Éthiopie, France, Ghana, Indonésie, Japon, Pérou, Thaïlande, Turquie et Vietnam †“ dans la mise en œuvre de politiques et de stratégies d’atteinte et de maintien de la CSU. Tous ces pays se sont engagés envers l’atteinte de la CSU, considérée comme une aspiration nationale clé, mais ont adopté à cet effet des approches distinctes. L’ouvrage examine les politiques de CSU de chaque pays à partir de 3 thèmes communs : (1) l’économie politique et le processus politique d’adoption, d’atteinte et de maintien de la CSU; (2) les politiques financières d’amélioration de la couverture sanitaire; et (3) les ressources humaines en santé au service des politiques d’atteinte de la CSU. Les constats tirés de ces études pays sont une source d’enseignements auxquels peuvent faire référence les pays qui aspirent à l’adoption, à l’atteinte et au maintien de la CSU. Même si la voie vers la CSU reste spécifique à chaque pays, tous peuvent profiter des expériences des autres en apprenant des différentes approches et en évitant les risques potentiels.
Download or read book Sustainable Production System written by Clément Morlat and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wealth is no longer just an ability to live well in a world shaped by human activities. It is also an ability to push back or defer the limits of a world in biological and climatic closure. This book examines the theoretical conflicts and the power plays which often oppose the socio-political and technical-financial practices of recognition of what intervenes in the production of this wealth i.e. of what has value. It lays down the principles of a contributory modeling method, allowing debates around the concept of development; the building of scenarios; the negotiation of their implementation; and a cross-sectoral reading of their social, ecological and economic costs. This method, called Dynamic Modeling of Cost Systems, is based on a territorial communication device which articulates political, contractual and accounting innovations using deliberative and normative digital tools. It combines different local representations of value, in order to approach wealth through an integrated analysis of micro-, meso- and macro- issues.

Download or read book Functional Economy written by Céline Merlin-Brogniart and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-11-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Functional Economy is a concept that is often associated with ecological transition and sustainable development. It prioritizes the use of a service or good rather than its sale, and tends to encourage cooperation. This model supports the transition to a more ecological and equitable economic and social environment. This book presents the different approaches to the Functional Economy and the ways in which the various players (companies, public institutions and citizens) are adopting and adapting them through innovation. Depending on their degree of sustainability and their scope, these innovations can have major economic, social and environmental impacts. Particularly at the local territorial level, those involved in innovation need to be supported as closely as possible if they are to overcome the hurdles they face and reap the rewards of the transformations brought about by this socio economic model, which is built around functionality.

This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book talks about a genuine greening of the economy: from the most theoretical aspects, e.g. the genealogy of ecological economics, to the most practical. The two most prominent conclusions are, for me: this greening cannot be achieved by companies alone, but can only be the result of different kinds of innovation: technological, organizational, institutional and lifestyle changes. The changes must be implemented at all levels, from the firm to international governance.' Dominique Bourg, University of Lausanne, Switzerland 'Crisis, Innovation and Sustainable Development is a fascinating exploration at the frontiers of economics and ecology. It combines topical surveys of current work with deep reflection on the repressed role of nature in the history of economics. A work of great range and value, especially for all concerned with the strategy of economic policy going forward.' James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin, US This unique and informative book highlights the relationship between crisis, innovation, and sustainable development, and discusses the necessary conditions required to seize the ecological opportunity. The authors study the strength of change for building a new society, and the theoretical origins and political aspects of environmental concerns. They also sketch the outlines of a global governance system seeking to promote sustainable development. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective, this volume will appeal to postgraduate students and researchers in the economics of innovation, environmental economics and political economy, as well as policy makers and practitioners.

Download or read book Regulation Theory and Sustainable Development written by Corinne Gendron and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that current economist theories do not take into account the socially constructed nature of the debate surrounding the environment and environmental policy. It examines whether proposed economic solutions to environmental policy are, in fact, viable in practice. The book demonstrates that social conflicts cause policy compromises, which shape the economic system of a post-industrial ecological society. The author offers an innovative socio-economic theory of environmental politics, which illuminates the transformation dynamics brought about by the ecological crisis. Regulation Theory and Sustainable Development will be of interest to students and scholars of environmental politics, policy and governance.

Download or read book Sustainable Development and Governance in Europe written by Pamela M. Barnes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the evolution of the sustainability discourse in the European Union, exploring the conditions necessary for sustainable development to move from a conceptual model into a model for action for strategic decision makers at all levels of governance. This book questions the extent to which the discourse on sustainability has become embedded into governance structures in Europe. It focuses on the importance of the nature of the language of the political discourse on sustainability and how ideas are communicated amongst the actors and stakeholders in the policy making process, as well as assessing the conceptual, political, institutional and operational barriers apparent across the European geographic region. Drawing case studies from numerous policy areas including climate change, EU emissions trading scheme, renewable energy, nuclear energy, the European integrated energy market, transport mobility, and environmental protection, expert contributors unveil a narrowing of the discourse on sustainability that has taken place in Europe. However, a considerable discontinuity remains between the economic and environmental objectives of sustainable development, and the authors argue that it is essential that conditions for a dynamic discourse, open to multiple participants, are developed. Sustainable Development and Governance in Europe will be of strong interest to students and scholars of comparative politics, governance, sustainable development and environmental politics and studies.
