This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy failures in environment and development have been blamed on frag mented and eclectic policies and strategies. The 1992 United Nations Con ference on Environment and Development, the 'Earth Summit' in Rio de Janeiro, called therefore for an integrated approach in planning and policy making to achieve long-term sustainable growth and development. The Con ference also recognized in its action plan, the Agenda 21, that integrated poli cies need to be supported by integrated information, notably requiring the implementation of integrated environmental and economic accounting by its member States. During the preparations for the Rio Summit, scientists and practitioners of national accounting met in a Special Conference on Environmental Account ing, organized by the International Association for Research in Income and Wealth (IARIW) in Baden, Austria. Their aim was to explore the need for and methodologies of adjusting national accounts for environmental reasons. National accountants had faced mounting criticism that conventional accounting neglected new scarcities in natural capital, as well as the social cost of environmental degradation. The result of their deliberations was a draft manual, later issued by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) as a handbook of Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting.
Download or read book The Process of Judging the Environment written by Heather Colleen McLeod-Kilmurray and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research seeks to better understand judicial enforcement of environmental law in Canada. This involves inquiry into the rules of civil procedure, which both enable and limit the judicial role. It also involves exploration of environmental law principles and ethics, because procedural rules contain much discretion. This makes it necessary to understand what drives how judges interpret and apply these rules. The project aims to expand the field of "environmental ethics in law" by exploring the intersection of environmental law and civil procedure, and the implications of using environmental principles and ethics as a framework for procedural decision-making.I argue that several building blocks for putting environmental ethics into practice already exist. International treaties, domestic legislation, and recent jurisprudence suggest that Sustainability and principles associated with it, such as Precaution, are beginning to form part of the judicial framework. The problem is that courts often do not bring this environmental framework to bear when dealing with decisions that are "merely procedural".The thesis uses four pre-trial procedures--Public Interest Standing, Interveners, Pre-trial Injunctions, and Class Action certification--to demonstrate that procedure is never "merely procedural" and that the lack of an environmental framework can have significant substantive effect, such as preventing cases from getting to trial, either at all or before permanent environmental damage is done. The case studies suggest that courts have become more open to an environmental framework in relation to standing and intervention, and explores why there remains reluctance to take an environmental approach in certifying class actions.This understanding of the judicial role in environmental enforcement is important to improving the operation of courts generally. Environmental principles and ethics can lead courts and society to question what is deemed worthy of judicial protection, and how these interests are identified, valued and balanced. They can also encourage courts to enunciate the ethics and values that are always present in procedural adjudication, but often hidden behind a mask of procedural neutrality.

Book excerpt: Though overall cancer incidence and mortality have continued to decline in recent years, cancer continues to devastate the lives of far too many Americans. In 2009 alone, 1.5 million American men, women, and children were diagnosed with cancer, and 562,000 died from the disease.

Cancer Panel dedicated its 2008¿2009 activities to examining the impact of environmental factors on cancer risk. The Panel considered industrial, occupational, and agricultural exposures as well as exposures related to medical practice, military activities, modern lifestyles, and natural sources. This report presents the Panel¿s recommend. to mitigate or eliminate these barriers. Illus.
