Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro intitulado Visiones del desarrollo sostenible recoge las distintas posturas intelectuales del doctorando en Desarrollo sostenible de la Universidad de Manizales Caldas-Colombia, sobre un tema de relevancia mundial y de alto impacto en lo político, en lo económico, en lo social y en lo cultural, como es la problemática derivada en esa interacción-relación hombre-naturaleza, vista no solo en lo teórico, sino en lo práctico. La dinámica poblacional y su relación con el entorno bajo procesos históricamente conocidos como revoluciones industriales, han permitido a la humanidad gozar de grandes beneficios y comodidades, muchos de los cuales han dejado su impronta en lo que hoy llamamos la huella ecológica y, con ello, grandes desafíos ambientales y sociales; uno de ellos es el cambio climático, resultado de ignorar el desarrollo sustentable como una opción para complementar el actual sistema político y social. No obstante, desde mediados del siglo XX, el despertar de movimientos ambientalistas y ecologistas ha incursionado en la conciencia colectiva, que poco a poco ha permeado las estructuras de poder político y económico, a la vez que ha hecho, de los medios de comunicación, la forma eficaz para comunicar las consecuencias de no actuar de forma coherente con nuestro planeta. Por fortuna, hoy, son más los científicos especializados, movimientos sociales y, en algunos casos, políticos y líderes empresariales que se unen a esta causa; con lo cual la esperanza de un mundo mejor para nuestros hijos es una posibilidad y una obligación. Una evidencia de que existe una mayor conciencia colectiva por un ambiente sano es la curiosidad investigativa de los distintos autores que participan en esta edición, que buscan no solo una aproximación conceptual y teórica, sino ofrecer una visión alternativa de desarrollo sostenible.

Download or read book The Green Stone Age Exploration and Exploitation of Minerals for Green Technologies written by M. Smelror and published by Geological Society of London Special Publications. This book was released on 2023-06-21 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raw materials have been essential in the development of all human societies through history and moving into a greener, more carbon-lean future we become increasingly reliant on access to a growing number of raw materials. Minerals for new technologies improving the quality of our lives and the environment are the building blocks of the new Green Stone Age. This Special Publication presents ongoing research and mapping programmes focusing on minerals needed for the transformation to greener societies. In addition to new exploration models and shared geological information on the different prospective currently mined areas, the notion of criticality in different countries is discussed and examples of ongoing national and cross-country research and mapping programmes are presented. In addition to the resource/reserve and technical-economic aspects, the social and environmental dimensions are also a focus in some of the contributions, as holistic approaches to the exploration and exploitation of critical minerals and materials are needed to fulfil the green transition and goals for the Green Stone Age.
Download or read book South American camelids research written by Martina Gerke and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "South American Camelids are receiving increased interest not only in South America but also on a worldwide scale. They possess some unique features such as their fine fibre and their high adaptivity to many climatic regions across the world. Apart from the important productive aspects, their physical attractiveness also makes them popular as pet animals. However there are still many gaps in the scientific literature with regard to South American Camelids. This collection of papers brings experience of both South American and European experts together. It considers current trends in reproduction, nutrition, health, fibre morphology and genetics and discusses as new topic aspects of the potential of meat production and commercialization in South America. The particular advantages of South American Camelids for the sustainable use of fragile ecosystems with native pastures are outlined. Round tables discussions focus on the interaction between wild and domestic species, the management of alpaca populations outside of South America and health aspects under European conditions. South American Research is aimed at scientists and animal breeders as well as students studying veterinary, animal and applied biological sciences."
Download or read book Sustainable Development Research and Practice in Mexico and Selected Latin American Countries written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an essential overview of sustainable development research in Mexico. It discusses the empirical research methods and findings, as well as practical initiatives and projects being pursued in Mexico and other countries in the region. Although a number of Mexican universities are now conducting high-quality research on matters related to sustainable development, there are few publications that offer a multidisciplinary overview of research efforts for a broader audience. This book addresses that gap in the literature, providing researchers at Mexican universities – including those from other countries working in Mexico – with an opportunity to present their work, i.e. curriculum innovations, empirical work, activities, case studies, and practical projects. As such, it fosters the exchange of information, ideas and experiences, successful initiatives and best practices.

Download or read book Colombian Peasants in the Neoliberal Age written by Nazih F. Richani and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting the historical, socioeconomic, political, and security conditions experienced by three peasant communities, Colombian Peasants in the Neoliberal Age provides readers with the most up-to-date and comprehensive assessment of Colombia's peasants currently available. Nazih F. Richani examines their adaptive strategies and resistance to subsumption processes and the prospects for the sustainability of their modes of production, culture, and livelihood. In addition, he explores each communities' level of agency that has allowed them to respond to the encroachments of rentier economy by devising adaptive strategies and building collaborative networks, forging new partners at the national, regional, and global levels. These findings are timely given the historic change in Colombia's leadership as represented by President Gustavo Petro, a former rebel and a leftist leader, and his vice president Francia Elena Marquez, an Afro-Colombian woman activist. The Petro administration offers an exceptional opportunity for radical policy change toward national development, particularly towards peasants and agrarian issues. The research undertaken in this book holds the potential to enrich political discussions and inform new policies.

Estos paises representan condiciones geograticas y econ6micas diversas, pero todos se han comprometido can la cobertura universal de salud como una aspiracion nacional clave y estan acercandose a ella de maneras diferentes. En ellibro se examinan las politicas de cobertura universal de salud de cada pais alrededor de tres temas comunes: la economia politica y el proceso de forrnulacion de la polltica para adoptar, lograr y mantener la cobertura universal de salud; las politicas de financiacion sanitaria para mejorar la cobertura sanitaria; y los recursos humanos para las politicas de salud para lograr la cobertura universal de salud. Los hallazgos de estos estudios de pais tienen por objeto proporcionar enseiianzas que pueden ser utilizadas por los paises que aspiran a adoptar, tograr y mantener la cobertura universal de salud. Aunque el camino ala cobertura universal de salud es especifico para cada pais, los paises pueden beneficiarse de las experiencias de otros al conocer acerca de diferentes enfoques y evitar los riesgos previsibles.
