Download or read book Environmental Challenges and Governance written by Sacchidananda Mukherjee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economies located in East, South and Southeast Asia have witnessed an interesting growth-sustainability trade-off over the last decades. While growth considerations have paved ways for deepened ties with growing trade-investment waves and increasing population pressure necessitated exploitation of hitherto unutilized natural resources, focus on environmental sustainability has been a recent consideration. The growth impetus still playing a key role in these economies, it becomes imperative that the countries effectively address the key sustainability concerns, e.g. air and water pollution, land degradation, loss of biodiversity, climate change issues like CO2 emissions etc. But how prepared is the governance mechanism of these countries, covering not only the legislative and administrative framework but also involvement of the judiciary, presence of spirited civil society and active engagement of stakeholders in policy-framing dialogues, to rise up to these challenges? The book seeks an answer to this question through the environmental governance mechanism and natural resource conservation policies in three vibrant regions within Asia. A holistic development dimension of sustainable development path emerges, through discussion of policies adopted by developed (Japan, South Korea), upper-middle (China, Malaysia), developing (India, Indonesia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand) and least developed countries (Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal).

Download or read book INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT written by M. M. SULPHEY and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-07-07 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A perfect harmony between man and environment is the essence of healthy life and sustainable growth. And therefore, maintenance of ecological balance and a pristine environment is the need of the hour. This comprehensive book on environmental management discusses various aspects of environment, the ecosystems, effects of global warming and pollution, and various ways to conserve nature and save environment. The eight sections of the book virtually are the eight fundamental components which, in one way or the other, play a crucial role in managing the environment. The book begins with the section on Ecology and classification of ecosystems. It then moves onto the next section on Biodiversity, which discusses the Biodiversity Acts. The book progresses by discussing the third most important section on Environmental degradation, its causes, which include global warming, pollution (air, land and water) and prevention and control. India is an agriculture-based economy, and the next section elaborates on the Agro-ecosystem, its management and techniques of sustainable organic farming. The fifth section of the book on Forest and Wildlife, deals with the serious issues like deforestation, its effects on the environment and the wildlife, and touches upon the most sensitive issue of various animals getting extinct. The next section covering Waste Management (industrial waste, e-waste and solid waste) discusses the legal aspects of hazardous wastes. Environment Legislation, the proceeding section, is on environmental laws, International treaties and green marketing. Finally the eighth section, which focuses on the Ethical Aspects of Environment highlights the important issues like environmental ethics, and how environment is treated in various religions. The book is interspersed with real-life cases to give the topics a reasoned approach. Designed as a text for the postgraduate students of management, this book can be equally useful for the undergraduate students of all disciplines.
Download or read book Ecological Intensification of Natural Resources for Sustainable Agriculture written by Manoj Kumar Jhariya and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-07 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecological intensification involves using natural resources such as land, water, soil nutrients, and other biotic and abiotic variables in a sustainable way to achieve high performance and efficiency in agricultural yield with minimal damage to the agroecosystems. With increasing food demand there is high pressure on agricultural systems. The concept of ecological intensification presents the mechanisms of ensuring high agricultural productivity by restoration the soil health and landscape ecosystem services. The approach involves the replacement of anthropogenic inputs with eco-friendly and sustainable alternates. Effective ecological intensification requires an understanding of ecosystems services, ecosystem's components, and flow of resources in the agroecosystems. Also, awareness of land use patterns, socio-economic factors, and needs of the farmer community plays a crucial role. It is therefore essential to understand the interaction of ecosystem constituents within the extensive agricultural landscape. The editors critically examined the status of ecological stress in agroecosystems and address the issue of ecological intensification for natural resources management. Drawing upon research and examples from around the world, the book is offering an up-to-date account, and insight into the approaches that can be put in practice for poly-cropping systems and landscape-scale management to increase the stability of agricultural production systems to achieve ‘Ecological resilience’. It further discusses the role of farmer communities and the importance of their awareness about the issues. This book will be of interest to teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, capacity builders, and policymakers. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, forestry, ecology, agronomy, soil science, and environmental sciences. National and international agricultural scientists, policymakers will also find this to be a useful read for green future.
Download or read book Population and Land Use in Developing Countries written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This valuable book summarizes recent research by experts from both the natural and social sciences on the effects of population growth on land use. It is a useful introduction to a field in which little quantitative research has been conducted and in which there is a great deal of public controversy. The book includes case studies of African, Asian, and Latin American countries that demonstrate the varied effects of population growth on land use. Several general chapters address the following timely questions: What is meant by land use change? Why are ecological research and population studies so different? What are the implications for sustainable growth in agricultural production? Although much work remains to be done in quantifying the causal connections between demographic and land use changes, this book provides important insights into those connections, and it should stimulate more work in this area.
Download or read book Population Dynamics and Climate Change written by José Miguel Guzmán and published by UN. This book was released on 2009 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book broadens and deepens understanding of a wide range of population-climate change linkages. Incorporating population dynamics into research, policymaking and advocacy around climate change is critical for understanding trajectory of global greenhouse gas emissions, for developing and implementing adaptation plans and thus for global and national efforts to curtail this threat. The papers in this volume provide a substantive and methodological guide to the current state of knowledge on issues such as population growth and size and emissions; population vulnerability and adaptation linked to health, gender disparities and children; migration and urbanization; and the data and analytical needs for the next stages of policy-relevant research.
