With its survey of transboundary research, experiences, and lessons learned, the book offers integrated conceptual and empirical contributions from diverse interrelated fields.

Download or read book Empowerment for Sustainable Development written by Naresh C. Singh and published by Halifax, N.S. : Fernwood. This book was released on 1995 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While fashionable rhetoric threatens to overwhelm clear thinking sustainable development, the authors of this study believe that serious and difficult questions need to be asked if we are to move to a concept and practice of development which really integrates the needs of people, the economy, the environment and the practical world of decision-making. In particular, it is too easy to assume a positive relation between poverty reduction and an improved environment. Instead they argue that the alleviation of poverty and sustainable development are only likely if the idea of empowerment and its practical institutionalization in the law, the educational process and the machinery of government becomes a reality. This innovative book explores some of the multiple ways in which this approach could become a reality, as well as the difficulties that stand in the way.

Download or read book Global Sustainability and the Universality of Creative Processes written by Elliot Masocha and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study highlights the need for increased understanding of global environmental sustainability challenges and universalizing solutions as reducing and reversing the environmental impact of economic growth is difficult when a sizable proportion of the world's population has yet to benefit from economic growth. Critical theory formed the study's conceptual framework. Business leaders and commercial farmers were interviewed; data were organized, edited, coded, formatted, and analyzed to determine themes and trends. If sustainable development programs for business and sustainable agriculture research and outreach in developing economies are implemented, a large number of people's standards of living may be raised. This book suggests that possible solutions to global sustainability challenges should be effectively shared between developed and developing countries in order to help make a positive social change.

Download or read book Microfinance and Sustainable Development in Africa written by Alhassan, Yahaya and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of microfinance for poverty reduction and economic development in the developing world is growing. However, this concept needs to be expanded to ensure its successful application for achieving longer-term economic growth and sustainability in developing countries, particularly in parts of the world such as Africa. As such, further research into the relationship between microfinance and sustainable development in developing regions is required to fully understand the opportunities for effective use of microfinance for poverty reduction and economic development. Microfinance and Sustainable Development in Africa examines the complex relationship between receipt of microfinance, poverty reduction, economic growth, and microbusiness development, focusing on the provision of small credit facilities as a driver of sustainable development in Africa. Its coverage of topics such as microbusiness, social finance, and sustainable development make this book an ideal reference source for academicians, researchers, government officials, policymakers, organizations, managers, instructors, and students.

Download or read book Universities and the Sustainable Development Future written by Peter H. Koehn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1970s, a series of international declarations that link environment and sustainable development to all aspects of higher learning have been endorsed and signed by universities around the world. Although university involvement in sustainable-development research and outreach has increased substantially, systematic learning from higher-education engagements has been limited. Universities and the Sustainable Development Future offers institutions of higher learning around the world practical guidelines that can be applied contextually to produce credible evidence regarding the outcome and impact of their teaching, research, and transnational-partnering activities. Drawing on innovative applications of lessons from experience with international-development cooperation, this book demonstrates the utility of a flexible framework that will inspire substantial improvements in the ways universities evaluate and improve their sustainable-development undertakings aimed at promoting Agenda 2030. This book promotes an inclusive evaluation framework that will allow universities to illuminate sustainable-development outcomes, and it provides a cutting-edge resource for students, scholars, and policy makers with an interest in sustainable development, climate change, and evaluation challenges.
