Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Et si l’idée du développement durable n'était qu'une ruse des pays du Nord pour mieux dominer ceux du Sud ? Nouveau mot d'ordre de tous les acteurs de la mondialisation, ce slogan à la mode est aussi devenu un business profitable qui joue sur l’industrie de la peur. La notion de développement durable, qui remonte aux années 1970, s’impose sur la scène internationale en 1992 au sommet de la Terre de Rio de Janeiro : alors que le développement était dirigé vers les sociétés qui devaient en tirer des avantages, la notion de développement durable met pour la première fois en avant le respect de la planète et des équilibres naturels. Sylvie Brunel prône, quant à elle, un développement qui profiterait avant tout aux hommes. Est-ce encore possible ? Dénonçant les contrevérités, les idées reçues et les mauvais combats, enfin un livre salutaire sur une question dont on a pas fini d’entendre parler...
Download or read book cologie et conomie aujourd hui written by Jean Cornelis and published by Mols. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le marché aveugle accompagne une croissance infinie du profit, mais la terre n’est-elle pas finie ? Faut-il être économiste pour voir que le capitalisme se base sur une idéologie qui profite d’abord au capital ? Et assister à la destruction de la nature et à la mainmise des multinationales sur les destins de nos sociétés ? Comment provoquer un changement social comparable à celui rendu nécessaire pour lutter contre le Covid19 ? Face aux défis du XXIe siècle, le citoyen et la société civile peuvent changer le rapport de force politique en faveur d’une économie durable respectant l’équité sociale, l’intégrité environnementale et l’efficacité économique. La démocratie politique n’est pas la simple addition des intérêts particuliers à court terme, c'est d’abord le choix et la décision de projets d’intérêt commun à long terme. Les partis politiques conservateurs soutiennent l’arrogance des économistes, malgré l'incompétence de l’économique néolibérale à gérer la catastrophe écologique, le sous-développement, les crises financières et les crises sociales du capitalisme. Ce livre aide à comprendre les enjeux collectifs de notre mode de vie occidental. Il fait ressentir le lien solidaire unissant tous les êtres vivants et le besoin universel d’équité entre les hommes. Il remet donc l’homme et la nature au cœur du débat économique. Et le citoyen dans le rôle de celui qui, en définitive, décidera de la transition durable dont il a besoin, au terme de bouleversements de nature démocratique, scientifique et politique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revisiter notre rapport à la nature, au développement et à la prospérité est un enjeu civilisationnel dont dépend l’avenir de l’Humanité. Le concept de développement durable, formalisé dans les années 1980 sous l’impulsion du rapport Brundtland, s’est proposé comme une façon de pallier les limites du modèle de développement emprunté par la grande majorité des pays du monde depuis le 20e siècle. Malgré son importance, le développement durable est confronté au paradoxe de fausse popularité. Alors qu’il n’a jamais été aussi présent dans les discours, force est de constater qu’il est encore mystérieux et méconnu à grande échelle. Adopté et promu par les institutions internationales et les gouvernements, largement débattu dans la sphère universitaire, dénigré par d’autres, le concept de développement durable attise une grande confusion. Cet ouvrage se veut justement didactique en se fixant pour objectif de rendre accessibles les grands débats et discussions qui le façonnent, tout en décortiquant les idées reçues les plus répandues. Cette aventure intellectuelle vous fera découvrir les multiples facettes du développement durable. Avec la participation de nombreuses personnalités du développement durable, dont Ahmed Djoghlaf, Chantal Line Carpentier, l’Honorable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Jacques Prescott, Thomas Mulcair, et bien d’autres contributeurs de grande qualité.
Download or read book What is a Fair International Society written by Emmanuelle Tourme Jouannet and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's world is post-colonial and post-Cold War. These twin characteristics explain why international society is also riddled with the two major forms of injustice which Nancy Fraser identified as afflicting national societies. First, the economic and social disparities between states caused outcry in the 1950s when the first steps were taken towards decolonisation. These inequalities, to which a number of emerging states now contribute, are still glaring and still pose the problem of the gap between formal equality and true equality. Second, international society is increasingly confronted with culture- and identity-related claims, stretching the dividing line between equality and difference. The less-favoured states, those that feel stigmatised, but also native peoples, ethnic groups, minorities and women now aspire to both legal recognition of their equal dignity and the protection of their identities and cultures. Some even seek reparation for injustices arising from the past violation of their identities and the confiscation of their property or land. In answer to these two forms of claim, the subjects of international society have come up with two types of remedy encapsulated in legal rules: the law of development and the law of recognition. These two sets of rights are neither wholly autonomous and individualised branches of law nor formalised sets of rules. They are imperfect and have their dark side. Yet they can be seen as the first milestones towards what might become a fairer international society; one that is both equitable (as an answer to socio-economic injustice) and decent (as an answer to cultural injustice). This book explores this evolution in international society, setting it in historical perspective and examining its presuppositions and implications.

Download or read book Crisis Innovation and Sustainable Development written by Blandine Laperche and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book talks about a genuine greening of the economy: from the most theoretical aspects, e.g. the genealogy of ecological economics, to the most practical. The two most prominent conclusions are, for me: this greening cannot be achieved by companies alone, but can only be the result of different kinds of innovation: technological, organizational, institutional and lifestyle changes. The changes must be implemented at all levels, from the firm to international governance.' Dominique Bourg, University of Lausanne, Switzerland 'Crisis, Innovation and Sustainable Development is a fascinating exploration at the frontiers of economics and ecology. It combines topical surveys of current work with deep reflection on the repressed role of nature in the history of economics. A work of great range and value, especially for all concerned with the strategy of economic policy going forward.' James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin, US This unique and informative book highlights the relationship between crisis, innovation, and sustainable development, and discusses the necessary conditions required to seize the ecological opportunity. The authors study the strength of change for building a new society, and the theoretical origins and political aspects of environmental concerns. They also sketch the outlines of a global governance system seeking to promote sustainable development. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective, this volume will appeal to postgraduate students and researchers in the economics of innovation, environmental economics and political economy, as well as policy makers and practitioners.
Download or read book Strat gies du d veloppement durable written by Stéphane Leyens and published by Presses universitaires de Namur. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deux mouvements ont contribué à l'émergence de l’idée de développement durable. Le premier a trait à la remise en question, dès la fin des années soixante, des politiques occidentales de développement au Sud. Le second exprime des craintes quant à l’impact de l’activité humaine sur l’environnement naturel. Tous deux proposent une même critique du modèle de développement compris comme croissance économique libérale: afin de tenir ses promesses, le développement économique doit aller de pair avec un souci de justice sociale globale et avec une préoccupation forte pour l’environnement naturel dans lequel tout développement humain prend place. C’est précisément cette triple contrainte que le concept de développement durable exprime et tente de faire coexister. Après vingt ans de réflexion et de projets, il apparaît que les trois exigences du développement durable ne peuvent être satisfaites également et simultanément. Au programme unifié, mais idéalisé, se substituent, dans les faits, des stratégies plus spécifiques selon les priorités accordées aux trois objectifs du développement durable. Le véritable débat concerne les stratégies les plus adéquates pour concilier nos différentes intuitions relatives au développement économique, au respect de notre environnement naturel et à la justice sociale. Ainsi, à l’heure où le projet ambitieux du développement durable est affaibli par son flou sémantique mais aussi par la multiplicité de ses acteurs, aux orientations et desseins parfois incompatibles, ce livre propose des éléments d’analyse critique de différentes stratégies de développement durable et vise à cerner les enjeux majeurs d’un projet qui, malgré ses imperfections et ses contradictions, garde toute sa légitimité d’être, et d’être pensé. Ont contribué à cet ouvrage: Christian Arnsperger, Christian Coméliau, Alexandra de Heering, Jean-Marie Harribey, Bertrand Hespel, Stéphane Leyens, Charlotte Luyckx, Xavier Thunis, Franck-Dominique Vivien et Edwin Zaccai.

This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans un contexte mondial caracterise par la double crise ecologique et sociale, les strategies de developpement doivent inevitablement tenir compte de deux exigences. Premierement, elles doivent rendre compte de la dimension environnementale du developpement afin que sa perpetuation dans le temps et dans l'espace soit possible. Deuxiemement, il faut qu'elles assurent un processus de developpement qui fasse profiter equitablement tous les acteurs de production des fruits de la croissance economique, demain comme aujourd'hui. Le developpement durable n'est pas la question du monde developpe, mais aussi et beaucoup plus celle des pays en developpement. Cet ouvrage propose aux pays en developpement un modele de developpement economique qui leur permettrait de transiter d'un stade de developpement economique peu avance vers une situation de developpement durable et equitable. Du sous-developpement economique au developpement durable, notre livre tente de toucher au plus profond la pensee economique en vue d'une apprehension du cadre theorique construit autour de ces problematiques."

Download or read book Le d veloppement durable written by Sylvie Brunel and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme "développement durable" est devenu la référence obligée des politiques publiques et privées, le nouveau nuit d'ordre de la coopération internationale. Il s'est imposé face à l'inquiétude des pays riches devant l'émergence de certains Suds et coïncide avec la montée en puissance des ONG. Rendant obsolète le concept de développement, le développement durable est un produit de la dernière mondialisation, le symbole de l'avènement d'une conscience mondiale. Mais cette synthèse théoriquement parfaite entre les préoccupations économiques, sociales et environnementales est-elle une réalité ? ou bien un étendard que chacun s'approprie en fonction de ses intérêts et de ses objectifs, une sanctification de la planète au détriment de l'humanité, et particulièrement des pauvres ?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies on environmental and business sustainability have been conducted over the last couple of decades. These studies demonstrate that the concept of sustainability management can be applied to several industries. Consumers around the globe are increasingly interested in sustainable consumption and they turn their attention into sustainable products, thus, campaigning for banning companies and supply chains that do not operate under sustainable ethos. Markets, Business and Sustainability is a collection of selected reports that examine business sustainability, market sustainability and supply chain sustainability in a variety of contexts and using diverse methodologies. This reference work emphasizes the profound impact of sustainability management on markets and business. Readers are presented with critical analyses on different dimensions of sustainability. This book covers the applications of sustainable management techniques in construction, city logistics and the food industry. Sustainability management practitioners, consumers, as well as students and academics can enrich their understanding about the business dimension of sustainability and also find references of available literature on the subject. The information presented in this reference is also helpful to senior business leaders seeking to create a vision, mission and strategy for their companies in order to create sustainable value, and an organizational culture of sustainability.
Download or read book A World After Climate Change and Culture Shift written by Jim Norwine and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, an international team of environmental and social scientists explain two powerful current change-engines and how their effects, and our responses to them, will transform Earth and humankind into the 22nd-century (c.2100). This book begins by detailing the current state of knowledge about these two ongoing, accelerating and potentially world-transforming changes: climate change, in the form of global warming, and a profound emerging shift of normative cultural condition toward the assumptions and values often associated with so-called postmodernity, such as tolerance, diversity, self-referentiality, and dubiety replaced with certainty. Next, the contributors imagine, explain and debate the most likely consequent transformations of human and natural ecologies and economies that will take place by the end of the 21st-century. In 16 compellingly original, provocative and readable chapters, A World after Climate Change and Culture-Shift presents a one-of-a-kind vision of our current age as a “hinge” or axial century, one driven by the most radical combined change of nature and culture since the rise of agriculture at the end of the last Ice Age some 10 millennia ago. This book is highly recommended to scholars and students of the environmental and social sciences, as well as to all readers interested in how changes in nature and culture will work together to reshape our world and ourselves. "I cannot think of a book more geared to advancing the art and science of geography." - Yi-Fu Tuan, J. K. Wright and Vilas Professor Emeritus of Geography, University of Wisconsin-Madison "Outstanding," "unique," and "exceptional timeliness of topic and ambition ofvision". - Richard Marston, University Distinguished Professor, Kansas State University; past president, Association of American Geographers
