This book was released on 2022-06-20 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we take stock of the state and direction of the world’s environment, and what can we learn from the experience? Among the myriad detailed narratives about the condition of the planet, the Global Environment Outlook (GEO) reports—issued by the United Nations Environment Programme—stand out as the most ambitious. For nearly three decades the GEO project has not only delivered iconic global assessment reports, but through its multitude of contributors has inspired hundreds of similar processes worldwide from the regional to the local level. This book provides an inside account of the evolution of the GEO project from its earliest days. Building on meticulous research, including interviews with former heads of the United Nations Environment Programme, diplomats, leading contributing scientists, and senior leaders of collaborating organizations, the story is told from the perspective of five GEO veterans who all played a pivotal role in shaping the periodic assessments. The GEO’s history provides striking insights and will save valuable time to those who commission, design and conduct, as well as critique and improve, assessments of environmental development in the next decade.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La racionalidad económica y las condiciones impuestas por el orden económico internacional han ocasionado la destrucción del patrimonio de recursos naturales; la problemática ambiental surge así de las estrategias de conocimientos y de poder que han determinado los procesos de producción y las formas de explotación de la naturaleza. Los ensayos de este libro hacen un aporte original a la concepción del ambiente como un espacio complejo de procesos interdependientes que articula las condiciones ecológicas, tecnológicas y culturales para fundar un potencial y un paradigma alternativo de producción para los países del tercer mundo.

Download or read book Environmental Priorities and Poverty Reduction written by Ernesto Sánchez Triana and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental degradation is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and decreased productivity. Urban and indoor air pollution; inadequate water supply, sanitation, and hygiene; natural disasters (mainly floods and landslides); and land degradation are the environmental problems associated with the highest social and economic costs, falling most heavily on vulnerable people, especially poor children under five years old. This book begins by exploring institutional change and environmental priorities in Colombia over the past 50 years, a time of substantial progress in environmental protection and rapid transition from a largely rural to a highly urbanised economy. Part 2 assesses the burden of disease rooted in inadequate water supply, sanitation, and hygiene; poor air quality; and natural disasters; and the environmental management practices to reduce that burden. A discussion of the environmental costs of rapid and unplanned urbanisation is also included. Part 3 assesses the sustainable management of Colombia's rich endowment of natural resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta Tesis abordamos de pleno las complejas relaciones entre la Economía y Medio Ambiente. Con la Política Económica del Medio Ambiente se pretende integrar la política ambiental dentro de la política económica general de un país con un esquema propio tejido de objetivos e instrumentos. La consagración del Desarrollo Sostenible como eje alrededor del cual se vertebra lafusión definitiva entre la economía y el medio ambiente, aporta una visión nueva yfresca de cómo debe orientarse la acción política para afrontar la problemáticaambiental derivada de la actividades económicas humana. El Modelo de Desarrollo Sostenible es factible si se aplican criterios de sostenibilidad ambiental, económica ysocial.Tras el repaso de los instrumentos de política económica del medio ambiente aplicadosen EE.UU, UE, y en particular España, formulamos un "Modelo de Estrategia de Desarrollo Sostenible para España".Brevemente repasamos el camino recorrido desde la integración de la política ambientalen la política económica, "Política Económica del Medio Ambiente", hasta lasuperación de este término con un instrumento nacido bajo los auspicios de las Cumbres Internacionales que propone un nuevo modelo de desarrollo alternativo al aplicado hastaahora. Este instrumento es la "Estrategia de Desarrollo Sostenible" que no sólopresupone la integración del medio ambiente en la Economía, y por tanto en la PolíticaEconómica sino que va más allá integrando las políticas sociales y concibiéndose con un carácter global, integrador, multisectorial, y multidisciplinar.Así recorremos un complejo y arduo camino desde el encuentro de ambas ciencias laEconomía, una Ciencia Social, y la Ecología, una Ciencia Natural frente a frente hasta suintegración total desde el punto de vista teórico y normativo.

Download or read book Housing Policy in Latin American Cities written by Peter M. Ward and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the 1960s, rapid urbanization in developing regions in Latin America, Africa, and Asia was marked by the expansion of low-income "irregular" settlements that developed informally and which, by the 2000s, often constituted between 20-60 percent of the built-up area of metropolitan areas and other large cities. There has been a variety of research directed at the housing policies involved with these informal settlements, yet apart from the activities of Latin American Housing Network (LAHN), there has been minimal attention directed at the earliest portion of settlements that formed some 25-40 years ago that now form a large part of the intermediate ring of the cities. This volume breaks new ground by opening up a new generation of housing policy in Latin America cities with broader application for other developing countries. Its editors bring unique perspectives: Peter Ward coordinates the LAHN, and Edith Jiménez and María Di Virgilio are founding members of the network who have led project teams in Guadalajara and Buenos Aires respectively. Developed as a coordinated collaborative research project, the volume encompasses nine Latin American countries and eleven cities. The editors and contributors offer original perspectives on the policy challenges facing much of the low income housing of Latin American cities; document the changing nature of the "first suburbs"; present comparative survey findings in order to better understand the types of consolidated settlements that exist today; describe the physical nature of the dwellings themselves; identify the reasons behind market dysfunction that impede the operation of consolidated housing informal markets in Latin American cities; and outline a new generation of housing policies that will support the processes of densification, rehabilitation, and regeneration of these settlements. This book is the first and only composite overview of the research findings and advocacy of the generic policy lines that the LAHN identifies as central to a new generation of housing strategies and approaches. Researchers and practitioners working on housing theory, housing policy, comparative spatial and sociological research, and urban development issues will find the book highly significant.
