Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La cultura interpreta un papel clave en la definición y puesta en marcha de políticas de sostenibilidad. Como mediadora entre la conducta y el ambiente, forma la estructura a través de la que la interacción entre las personas y sus entornos cambiantes facilita o limita el desarrollo sostenible. En este proceso, la educación ambiental y la transmisión de valores constituyen herramientas básicas imprescindibles para conducir el cambio social y afrontar los retos del cambio climático. Al mismo tiempo, la sostenibilidad plantea el reto de la convivencia con los recursos naturales y su gestión responsable en los contextos urbanos en los que la participación y la planificación, el valor social de la conservación o la movilidad se convierten en elementos importantes para llevar a cabo un desarrollo social sostenible. Los medios de comunicación tienen, asimismo, un papel no menos relevante, si consideramos el modo en que llegan a ser los catalizadores de la conciencia pública hacia el medio ambiente. Destacados académicos, profesores e investigadores de diferentes países, campos científicos y áreas disciplinares realizan en esta obra una aproximación a la conceptualización de la «sostenibilidad» desde la psicología social, la sociología, la educación o la economía, tratando de establecer los marcos interpretativos que favorecen la comprensión y entendimiento de la sostenibilidad y de sus aplicaciones en la política práctica.

This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of escalating environmental degradation and dwindling natural resources, the imperative for sustainable production and consumption has taken center stage, compelling companies and consumers alike to seek a more sustainable path forward. Sustainable consumption and production entail the utilization of goods and services that strive to minimize detrimental impacts on the environment. This involves reducing the utilization of natural resources, toxic substances, and polluting emissions, all while ensuring the satisfaction of future generations' needs. Sustainable Consumption Experience and Business Models in the Modern World explores the crucial interplay between sustainability, businesses, and consumers. From a business standpoint, the pressing concerns surrounding sustainability drive the emergence of innovative sustainable products, services, and business models. Simultaneously, conscientious consumers increasingly gravitate towards sustainable alternatives, embracing the purchase of eco-friendly products and services, engaging in product exchanges, do-it-yourself initiatives, acquiring second-hand items, and participating in the sharing economy. Designed for professionals, students, and researchers in the field of sustainable marketing, this book covers a wide range of disciplines, including but not limited to sustainability, sustainable marketing, green products, second-hand goods, and consumer behavior.

Download or read book SOSTENIBILIDAD Y DECRECIMIENTO UNA CR TICA DE LA SIN RAZ N CONSUMISTA written by ENRÍQUEZ SÁNCHEZ José María and published by Editorial UNED. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 912 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La idea de sostenibilidad, más concretamente la expresión «desarrollo sostenible», se ha convertido en otro tema más de nuestro tiempo. Coetáneo de ello es la idea opuesta de decrecimiento. Eso en nuestros días, porque lo cierto es que ambos conceptos, «sostenibilidad» y «decrecimiento», en la actualidad centrales en los discursos y contra discursos económico-políticos, se remontan a un tiempo anterior. Pues bien, situar estos significados en el momento que les corresponde puede resultar de provecho para los propósitos actuales de una transición hacia sociedades sostenibles. Este es el motivo principal de este libro, estableciendo para ello unas nociones claras que nos puedan ser de utilidad al menos para pensar lo que hacemos con nuestras cada vez más deterioradas circunstancias.
Download or read book Sustainable Development the Cultural Perspective written by Gerhard Banse and published by edition sigma. This book was released on 2011 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This current volume is a result of the Seventh and Eighth International Forum on Sustainable Technological Development in a Globalizing World. The Seventh Forum was held June 9-12, 2010 in Berlin. The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology hosted the event, which was organized around culture and sustainability. What we each value as a society, as a country, in our culture, is what we want to protect. What is sustainable is only what we value. This applies all the more to sustainable development which is planned for long time scales and therefore to go beyond individual sustainable technology solutions as well as economic and political cycles. What we hold in high regard is the result of cultural influences. Consequently, we need cultural change in the sense of sustainable development in order to secure sustainability pathways in the long term. The key question arising is whether and how this change can be brought about. The following Introduction leads us into the specific discussion. At the end of the Seventh Forum, participants concluded that more specific case studies would be useful and recommended that the Eighth Forum provide a focus for case studies. Since the remainder of the Eighth Forum, held March 8-10, 2011, in Melbourne, Florida, focused on Alternative Energy with oral papers not really appropriate as written papers, it was decided to include the case studies in combination with those papers from Berlin to provide a holistic discussion of culture and sustainability. That is the concept for this volume."--P.13-14.
