Download or read book Sustainable Development in Africa written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-09 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves the purpose of documenting and promoting African experiences on sustainable development, which encompasses both, formal and non-formal education. Sustainable development is very important to Africa, but there is a paucity of publication which documents and promotes experiences from African countries. Due to their complexity, the interrelations between social, economic and political factors related to sustainable development, especially at universities, need to be better understood. There is also a real need to showcase successful examples of how African institutions are handling their sustainability challenges. It is against this background that this book has been produced. It is a truly interdisciplinary publication, useful to scholars, social movements, practitioners and members of governmental agencies and private companies, undertaking research and/or executing projects focusing on sustainability from across Africa. As African nations strive to pursue the UN Sustainable Development Goals, it is imperative to cater for the information needs seen across the continent and foster the dissemination of experiences and case studies, which may support both, on-going and future efforts. The scope of the book is deliberately kept wide, and we are looking for contributions across the spectrum of sustainable development from business and economics, to arts and fashion, administration, environment, languages and media studies.

This book was released on 2019-09-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 85.0 - A, course: International Law and Diplomacy, language: English, abstract: This research study will focus its attention on Sustainable Development Goal number 13: "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts". This goal specifically addresses the issue of ecology, environment, the risk from fossil fuel energy, activities caused by industrialization and technological advancement in our world, which has affected global warming and by extension threat to life and the environment. The primary objective of this research study is the analysis of the prospects and challenges of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (on environment) in Nigeria through the Low Carbon Economy strategy. The questions which this research study aims to answer are: 1. How can the utilization of an alternative source of energy serve as a measure to address the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria? 2. What are the impacts of human activities on climate change in Nigeria? 3. What are the prospects of the Low Carbon Economy as a measure in addressing climate change in Nigeria? 4. What are the various challenges militating against the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria? Global warming is now a global warning. An industrialized world heavily dependent on fossil energy is extremely susceptible to the effects of climate change. In the struggle for industrialization and advancement in technology, anthropogenic activities have led to the depletion of the ozone layer which has had adverse effects on the environment. The impacts that are being felt as a result of global warming led to the search for a solution. One of the solutions proffered was the usage of Low Carbon in the Economy. This is a concept aimed at reducing the level of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere while combining the use of better and cleaner energy sources with the proficient use of

Download or read book University engagement and environmental sustainability written by Patricia Inman and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universities have a key role to play in contributing to environmental development and combating climate change. The chapters within this volume detail the challenges faced by higher education institutions in considering environmental sustainability, and provide both a broad view of university engagement and a detailed examination of various projects. As part of this series in association with the Place and Social Capital and Learning (PASCAL) International Observatory, the three key PASCAL themes of place management, lifelong learning and the development of social capital are considered throughout the book. While universities have historically generated knowledge outside of specific local contexts, this book argues that it is particularly important for them to engage with the local community and to consider diverse perspectives and assets when looking at issues within an ecological context. The chapters in this volume provide new perspectives and frames of reference for transforming universities by engaging in the development of resilient communities.
