Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Here's a work arriving just at the right moment and contributingnew insights at precisely the time when public opinion remains sceptical of the not very promising future we are preparing for our children, when governments balk at explaining to their electorates the vital but unpopular decisions that have to be taken and when civil society, with few ways and means, is finally becoming involved. This remarkable work will help all actors to understand the inter-linkages between economic activities and the environment in the Mediterranean Basin and take concerted, effective action to build a positive, sustainable future' Mohamed Ennabli, former Minister of the Environment and Land Use Panning, Tunisia 'The Blue Plan has carried out a remarkable assessment of the serious environmental probems and insufficiently targeted cooperation in the Mediterranean, and also of new financing systems to be implemented, which would increase the capacities of local authorities and economic and social partners' Georges Corm, former Minister of Finance, Lebanon The Mediterranean Basin and its surrounding countries is a microcosm of the environmental and sustainability challenges facing people across the world. Depending on the development path it takes in the future, the region can either become a positive model for the regional regulation of globalization, or, more onerously, it might reinforce global instability. This unique volume is the definitive, authoritative assessment of the environment and development of the Mediterranean Basin and its 22 countries and territories, spanning five decades from 30 years in the past to 20 years into the future. Produced by the Blue Plan within the framework of UNEP/Mediterranean Action Plan and backed by the EU and national governments, it brings together the work of more than 100 researchers from dozens of national, regional and local governments and research groups into the only comprehensive insight into sustainable development issues in the region. Core coverage includes water, energy, transport, cities, rural and coastal areas, as well as related issues such as climate change, population growth, geopolitical changes, unemployment and poverty, pollution, economic and environmental policies, regional cooperation and the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. Information is clearly presented through hundreds of full-colour maps, graphs, tables and a wealth of case studies. This is a must-have reference for all levels of government, NGOs and libraries, as well as practitioners, academics and businesses involved in economics, natural resource management, land and maritime transport, water, energy, infrastructure, urban and rural development, agriculture, fishing and aquaculture, tourism and coastal management. Countries and territories covered: Spain, France, Italy, Monaco, Malta, Cyprus, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Palestinian Territories, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. Preface by Lucien Chabason, Chairman of the Blue Plan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the eighth in a series of ten papers jointly published by the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) and the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) which aim to address ten critical topics for Euro- Mediterranean relations. The papers have been commissioned with a view to formulating policy options on a set of issues which are central to achieving the objectives set out in the 1995 Barcelona Declaration and the 2008 Paris Declaration, as well as defining new targets for 2020 in the political, economic and social spheres. This eighth paper looks at the environmental challenges in the Mediterranean and analyses the numerous initiatives adopted in the region since 1975 to confront them. Over the last five decades the quality of the Mediterranean environment has been increasingly degraded by anthropisation. The authors argue that the environmental problems of the region are closely linked to governance gaps and that the major challenge of the region is water scarcity and pollution. Both point out the need to launch long-term planning and governance policies, such as the Strategy for Water in the Mediterranean (SWM). In this respect, Michael Scoullos and Eugenia Ferragina put forward a set of proposals on how the European Union and its Mediterranean partner countries should cooperate to achieve an environmental and sustainable development in the Mediterranean.

Download or read book The Politics of Sustainable Development written by Susan Baker and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1997 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Sustainable Developmentanalyzes how the theory of sustainable development has been related to the practice and how it has been applied within Europe at all levels of government from the EU down to the sub-national local level. The essays included here begin with an analysis of the ambiguities inherent in sustainable development and the contestable nature of the concept. The contributors explore how far it is possible to reconcile economic growth with environmental needs, asking whether sustainable development can promote equity and development. The book breaks fresh ground in assessing the impact of deep ecological thought on sustainable development as part of a new typology of the concept. The second section examines how sustainable development has been interpreted at EU and sub-national levels within the member states, with examples drawn from the Mediterranean and Northern European countries. Contrasting interpretations of sustainable development are examined,considering political and administrative conflicts, the influence of cultural factors, and tensions between different levels of government. The ambiguity of sustainable development has led to extensive confusion and created the need for a clearer consensus among policy-makers as to how the concept should be interpreted.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'histoire de la Méditerranée se confond avec la genèse de nombreuses cultures, de religions, de savoirs techniques et scientifiques qui ont fécondé le monde depuis la nuit des temps. Loin d'être une zone paisible, la Méditerranée, à l'image de son climat quelquefois excessif a toujours été le creuset d'innovations et d'alchimie tumultueuses entre les idées, les projets et les pratiques issue des peuples riverains. L'ère de la globalisation confronte, cette fois la Méditerranée à des défis où l'union de ses forces dans des projets qui la divise. Les innombrables et souvent modestes acteurs de la société civile qui agissent dans ce sens, semblent convaincus de cette orientation nécessaire de l'histoire. Le présent répertoire se veut un modeste outil de contribution à cette dynamique de coopération, en particulier entre les rives Nord et Sud dans la reconnaissance d'une identité Méditerranéenne commune : pouvoir repérer et contacter les actrices et les acteurs dans le vaste champ de l'environnement et du développement désormais nécessairement durable, valoriser et échanger les expériences acquises dans tous les domaines de l'action de la sensibilisation aux aspects techniques et scientifiques, identifier les lieux de savoir et de formation, favoriser l'accès aux financements, impliquer les sociétés civiles, se relier aux autres réseaux dans le monde. Telle est l'ambition de ce répertoire en terme de renforcement des capacités des actrices et des acteurs.

This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1971, UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme has embraced a number of principles that link the political, scientific and academic spheres. Biosphere Reserves and Sustainable Development Goals 1 presents these areas as privileged spaces for experimenting with operating methods specific to cross-cutting objectives and issues. These areas encourage the development of interdisciplinary research, supported by a worldwide network to disseminate experience, approaches and knowhow. The various global and local political scales are linked here, with different consequences for the reconfiguration of local political arenas, for specific modes of development linked to a renewed relationship with knowledge, powers and institutions, and for renewed relationships between the worlds of science, education and territorial governance.
