This book was released on 2024-04-03 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los principales retos que la humanidad tiene que atender de manera prioritaria para asegurar que la vida en el planeta pueda mantenerse en las condiciones que actualmente tenemos, o incluso mejorarla, los ha identificado bien la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) a través de la Agenda 2030, la cual si bien es una propuesta con objetivos y metas a nivel internacional, representa un reto mayor cuando depende de una gran cantidad de países y actores (empresas, gobiernos y organizaciones sociales) con características, necesidades y prioridades diferenciadas. Asimismo, es importante reconocer que, para aspirar al éxito de este tipo de iniciativas, es menester contar con una infraestructura de apoyo directo (económica e institucional) para llevar los objetivos a buen término. La misma ONU ha reconocido que será imposible cumplir con las metas e indicadores definidos para el año 2030, por lo que es inminente su actualización con una perspectiva hacia el 2050. No obstante, la principal amenaza será superar la disposición de los países, instituciones y de infraestructura de soporte que haga viable esta transición hacia nuevas prácticas de convivencia que hagan del desarrollo social y económico un modelo que permita a su vez, mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas, el medio ambiente y la preservación de los ecosistemas. Esta obra avanza en reconocer que es posible avanzar hacia una sociedad más sostenible, resiliente y que una alternativa es consolidar una cultura de respeto por la humanidad y el medio ambiente, por lo cual presenta algunas prácticas que realizan diferentes actores en México y que inciden de manera positiva para avanzar en alguno de los objetivos y sus metas desde lo local, reconociendo que la difusión de esta cultura tendrá efectos indirectos hacia otros actores que podrán replicarlas e iniciar otras nueva, diferentes y con mayor alcance.

Download or read book Repensar la sostenibilidad written by ENRÍQUEZ SÁNCHEZ José María and published by Editorial UNED. This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sostenibilidad, cualidad de lo sostenible, hace referencia a un proceso que puede alargarse en el tiempo. Cuando este proceso lo referimos a cuestiones socio-ecológicas, comprobamos cómo, desde hace ya largo tiempo, no son pocas las voces acreditadas que han puesto sobre aviso del progresivo deterioro ecológico y sus consecuencias perjudiciales para la vida humana. Nuestra obra parte de estas negatividades para repensar la idea de sostenibilidad en sus justos términos, y así dar cabida a una variedad de aportaciones que ayuden a restituimos dentro de los límites ecosistémicos.

Download or read book e topia written by William J. Mitchell and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2000-08-25 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How an electronically connected world will shape cities and urban relationships of the future. The global digital network is not just a delivery system for email, Web pages, and digital television. It is a whole new urban infrastructure—one that will change the forms of our cities as dramatically as railroads, highways, electric power supply, and telephone networks did in the past. In this lucid, invigorating book, William J. Mitchell examines this new infrastructure and its implications for our future daily lives. Picking up where his best-selling City of Bits left off, Mitchell argues that we must extend the definitions of architecture and urban design to encompass virtual places as well as physical ones, and interconnection by means of telecommunication links as well as by pedestrian circulation and mechanized transportation systems. He proposes strategies for the creation of cities that not only will be sustainable but will make economic, social, and cultural sense in an electronically interconnected and global world. The new settlement patterns of the twenty-first century will be characterized by live/work dwellings, 24-hour pedestrian-scale neighborhoods rich in social relationships, and vigorous local community life, complemented by far-flung configurations of electronic meeting places and decentralized production, marketing, and distribution systems. Neither digiphile nor digiphobe, Mitchell advocates the creation of e-topias—cities that work smarter, not harder.

Representing a seminal compilation of research and technical knowledge about green roof ecology and how functional attributes can be enhanced, it delves to explore the next wave of evolution in green technology and defines potential paths for technological advancement and research.

Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synthesizing the latest research and theory with compelling narratives and case vignettes, this book explores the development of emotional competence in school-age children and young adolescents. Saarni examines the formation of eight key emotional skills in relation to processes of self-understanding, socialization, and cognitive growth. The cultural and gender context of emotional experience is emphasized, and the role of moral disposition and other individual differences is considered. Tracing the connections between emotional competence, interpersonal relationships, and resilience in the face of stress, the book also explores why and what happens when development is delayed.

Download or read book Transnational Environmental Crime written by Rob White and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to and overview of eco-global criminology. Eco-global criminology refers to a criminological approach that is informed by ecological considerations and by a critical analysis that is global in scale and perspective. Based upon eco-justice conceptions of harm, it focuses on transgressions against environments, non-human species and humans. At the centre of eco-global criminology is analysis of transnational environmental crime. This includes crimes related to pollution (of air, water and land) and crimes against wildlife (including illegal trade in ivory as well as live animals). It also includes those harms that pose threats to the environment more generally (such as global warming). In addressing these issues, the book deals with topics such as the conceptualization of environmental crime or harm, the researching of transnational environmental harm, climate change and social conflict, threats to biodiversity, toxic waste and the transference of harm, prosecution and sentencing of environmental crimes, and environmental victimization and transnational activism. This book argues that analysis of transnational environmental crime needs to incorporate different notions of harm, and that the overarching perspective of eco-global criminology provides the framework for this. Transnational Environmental Crime will be an essential resource for students, academics, policy-makers, environmental managers, police, magistrates and others with a general interest in environmental issues.
