Download or read book Beyond restoration ecology social perspectives in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Eliane Ceccon & Daniel Roberto Pérez and published by Eliane Ceccon. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book invites us to reflect on the restoration of terrestrial ecosystems in the context of a region whose identity is still under construction, Latin America and the Caribbean, immersed in a social, economic, ecological and political crisis, whose roots originate historically and politically in colonialism and in the prevailing model of capital accumulation. For the first time, insights and practical experiences on restoration are gathered from most Latin-American and Caribbean countries. Furthermore, this book offers a social approach to restoration, which will likely become preponderant in this field and in this region. The authors claim that a Latin-American knowledge of restoration is under construction and that this discipline can be a significant tool to empower local populations, which might, in turn, lead to a collective action of change. Case studies from 11 countries of the region were compiled, involving multiple voices that emerge beyond generalist principles and with a bottom-up approach. The main idea of the book is to open a debate about the identity of ecological and social restoration in this region. This book is targeted to restoration specialists, volunteers, environmental managers, researchers, politicians and NGOs working on the complexity of socioecological restoration in a region with unavoidable social problems. It is intended for people with similar concerns to those of the chapters' authors. This work tries to integrate a movement on the rise, almost silent, born with its own narratives of successes and failures that do not hinder its development. Finally, the determination and commitment of Latin-American and Caribbean social actors to restore not only natural values but also social, ethical and cultural ones is remarkable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Economía Ambiental es la rama del análisis económico que aplica los instrumentos del mismo a la problemática del medio ambiente. Con ello pretende ofrecer una información relevante en tres campos estrechamente relacionados. En primer lugar, con respecto a las causas de la degradación del medio natural que tienen su origen en la esfera de la economía, y que son la mayoría. Comprender e identificar estas variables es algo fundamental a la hora de resolver los problemas ambientales. En segundo lugar, con respecto a los costes, también económicos, que para la sociedad supone esta pérdida de recursos naturales y ambientales. Una buena gestión de los recursos de la biosfera se facilita notablemente si se cuenta con una valoración económica de los mismos, aun cuando se sea consciente de que el valor económico es, por definición, únicamente una parte de su valor total. En tercer lugar, la Economía Ambiental ofrece un análisis riguroso de las distintas medidas que podrían adoptarse para tratar de revertir el proceso de degradación ambiental: de su eficacia, de su eficiencia, y de sus implicaciones sobre el resto de variables económicas (empleo, competitividad, equidad, etc.). Estos son los temas que aborda este libro, sin olvidar la importancia que tienen, para la resolución de los problemas ambientales en una economía crecientemente globalizada, las relaciones económicas y comerciales entre países desarrollados y países subdesarrollados. El presente es un libro de economía, también para no economistas. No requiere nada que vaya más allá de las nociones básicas que se encuentran en cualquier libro de Introducción a la Economía y, a cambio, el lector no economista se familiarizará con una forma de abordar los problemas ambientales que puede resultar de interés. Por su parte, el economista encontrará en él la aplicación de los instrumentos con los que está perfectamente familiarizado a una realidad nueva y fascinante, la del medio ambiente. Esta segunda edición ha experimentado cambios sustanciales con respecto a la primera, algo natural en un campo tan dinámico. Prácticamente todos los capítulos se han modificado en profundidad. Han desaparecido epígrafes y capítulos completos, y se han introducido otros nuevos. Por supuesto, se ha llevado a cabo un esfuerzo sistemático de actualización de las lecturas recomendadas en cada uno de ellos. La novedad más importante de esta segunda edición, sin embargo, es la contribución a la misma de tres autores latinoamericanos de reconocido prestigio en el campo de la Economía Ambiental, que no sólo han enriquecido notablemente el texto con sus aportaciones, sino que lo han acercado más a la realidad de América Latina.

Download or read book Sustainable Tourism V written by F. D. Pineda and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism has become a major international industry, with many countries all over the world relying on the income it produces. Its economic advantages as a major source of finance and employment leads to its active promotion by governments and other institutions, independent of the consequences on the environment, ecology and social structure of affected regions.Conference topics include the following; Tourism strategies; Tourism as a tool of development; Emergent strategies for tourism development; Environmental issues; Climate change and effects of natural hazards in tourism; Tourism and protected areas; Art, architecture and culture; Rural tourism; Modelling; Community involvement; Tourism and the built environment; Renovation of mature destinations; heritage tourism; medical tourism.Sustainable Tourism 2012 will adopt a multi-disciplinary approach and will aim specifically to foster greater understanding and collaboration between scientists and social science experts, practitioners and policy makers. It will take a broad view of this sophisticated and complex industry, and will examine the practice of sustainable tourism from global travel trends through to destination and site management. Innovative solutions, including those involving ecological tourism are particularly welcome, as well as cultural initiatives that will lead to better approaches to tourism with the objective of preserving the diversity of our planet.
Download or read book Creating a Sustainable Economy written by Gerardo Marletto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed for those scholars, students, policy-makers – or just curious readers– who are looking for heterodox thinking on the issue of environmental economics and policy. Contributions to this book draw on multiple streams of institutional and evolutionary economics and help build an approach to environmental policy that radically diverges from mainstream prescriptions. No 'silver bullet' solutions emerge from the analyses. Even market-based tools – such as green taxes or tradable pollution permits – are bound to fail if they are not incorporated into an integrated, multi-dimensional and multi-actor policy for structural change.
Download or read book ESG and Ecosystem Services for Sustainability written by Castanho, Rui Alexandre and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental degradation and social inequities pose significant challenges in today's world, demanding urgent action. The disconnect between human activities and ecosystem health has led to biodiversity loss, climate change, and socio-economic disparities. There is a pressing need for a comprehensive approach that integrates Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles with the essential services provided by ecosystems. ESG and Ecosystem Services for Sustainability offers a compelling solution by bridging the gap between theory and practice, guiding stakeholders towards sustainable practices that benefit both people and the planet. This groundbreaking book explores the scientific foundations of ecosystem services, illustrating their critical role in maintaining biodiversity, regulating climate, and enhancing resilience. Emphasizing the interconnectedness of ESG principles and ecosystem health provides a framework for understanding the impact of human actions on the environment. Through real-world case studies and practical insights, the book demonstrates how integrating ESG considerations into governance and business practices can lead to more sustainable outcomes. It serves as a roadmap for policymakers, business leaders, and academics, offering actionable strategies for fostering ethical governance and responsible decision-making.

Download or read book How to Fulfil the UN Sustainability Goals written by Felix Fuders and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-11 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines the field of economics —especially monetary theory— with other disciplines like ecology, physics, humanities, social sciences and development theory. This transdisciplinary approach makes the book a unique contribution for researchers, students, policy makers and professionals working in governmental or nongovernmental institutions, as well as anyone interested in society’s well-being and achieving a true social-ecological transformation. It is written in an accessible language in order to reach a broad audience. In 2015, more than 190 world leaders recognized that the world is on a “collision course” (Max-Neef) and committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many conferences and high-level meetings have been held since then, and one of the most frequently discussed topics is how to finance these goals. There is a widespread belief that coming up with more money for sustainable development will “do the trick”. Usually, the discussions focus on finding additional financial resources in order to achieve the goals faster. In this book it is argued that not only is more money needed, but it needs to be a different kind of money. The book demonstrates that ALL but one of the SDGs are directly linked to our monetary system, which —being completely unnatural— can be seen as the most important, but at the same time least recognized, reason for market failure. Many people think we just need to do more, faster, better. Very few say that we have done things fundamentally wrong and that the institutions and values which motivated us to do those things need to be changed. It will be concluded that only if we change our unnatural design of money to a more natural one, will we be able to reach these goals
Download or read book Integrated Assessment of Climate Change Impacts and Urban Resilience written by Beniamino Russo and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together recent research related to urban resilience, in particular, taking into account climate change impacts and hydrological hazards. Due to the complexity of our cities, which are vulnerable and continuously evolving systems, urban resilience should be considered as a transversal and multi-sectorial issue, affecting different urban services, several hazards, and all the steps of the risk management cycle. Within this context, the different pieces of research that form this book deal with the topics of multi-risk and urban resilience assessment, analysis of cascading effects, and the proposal and prioritization of adaptation measures and strategies to cope with climate-related hazards through multi-criteria analysis.

Download or read book Socio ecological Studies in Natural Protected Areas written by Alfredo Ortega-Rubio and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the interactions of local inhabitants and environmental systems in the Protected Natural Areas of Mexico. Its goal is to help understand how social groups contextualize ecological knowledge, how human activities contribute to modifying the environmental matrix, how cultural and economic aspects influence the use, management and conservation of their ecological environment, and how social phenomena are to be viewed against the backdrop of ecological knowledge. The book reviews the epistemological and historical bases of the socio-ecological relationship, and addresses the evolution of human-natural systems. From a methodological standpoint, it assesses the tools required for the integration of “human” and “natural” dimensions in the management of the environmental matrix. Further, in the case studies section, it reviews valuable recent experiences concerning the retro-interactions of local inhabitants with their environmental matrix. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for researchers and professionals all over the world, especially those working in Latin American countries.
