Download or read book Mainstreaming Natural Capital and Ecosystem Services into Development Policy written by Pushpam Kumar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-12 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the latest advances in the science and practice of using ecosystem services to inform decisions for economic development in the context of the developing countries. The development of the ecosystem services paradigm has enhanced our understanding of natural capital as an indispensable form of capital asset along with produced and human capital. This book addresses what could be the possible pathways to mainstream natural capital assets into development policies and what is currently known about the economic values of ecosystem services. A series of innovative tools to help policy makers and planners account for natural capital and ecosystem services in sectoral and macroeconomic policies have been explored and their application at the national and regional scale has been demonstrated. Several detailed case studies are presented in which the understanding of ecosystem services values has successfully informed decisions, including examples from Chile, South Africa, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Vietnam and the Aral Sea in Central Asia. These provide the critically important insights, lessons learned and means and mechanisms for policy makers to incentivize protection and discourage degradation of ecosystems and the services they provide. Mainstreaming Natural Capital and Ecosystem Services into Development Policy is designed to help decision makers at all levels, including governments, businesses, multilevel development banks and individuals to integrate ecosystems and their services into their decision making.

Download or read book Vanishing Borders written by Hilary French and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National governments are ill-equipped for tackling transnational environmental problems, from ozone depletion to soaring trade in commodities like timber and shrimp. As these issues climb higher on the political agenda, industrial and developing countries are on a collision course over climate change and water shortages. Goods, money, microbes, pollution, people and ideas are crossing global boundaries evermore frequently. The implications for our future and for the health of the planet are profound. This text describes what we need to do to cope with the challenge.
Download or read book Global Economics written by Gernot Kohler and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as a text for an introductory course on global economics. The book assumes that the wealth or poverty of people in a specific country is not only caused within the economy of that country, but by the world economy. The unit of analysis is the world economic system, rather than any specific national economy. The student learns about the major aspects of the global economy, including environment, production, wages, profits, business cycle, trade, finance, and more. The complexity of the global economy is summarised in a diagram of three major circulatory flows, namely, circuit 1 -- physical flows, circuit 2 -- real market flows, and circuit 3 -- financial flows. The presentation is influenced by two intellectual traditions, namely, world-system analysis and post-Keynesian economics. There are no mathematical formulas, but statistical tables and graphs are included.
Download or read book Designing Context Rich Learning by Extending Reality written by Braun, Jason and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-05-03 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simulations, games, and real or virtual apprenticeships are the kinds of context-rich learning environments that leverage the power of episodic memory, boost student motivation, and create the conditions that make learning transfer more likely. Context-rich learning embodies the answer to the question, “Why do we need to learn this?” Many students, especially those who have dyslexia or otherwise neurodivergent brains, require the kind of context that is lacking in education. Designing Context-Rich Learning by Extending Reality is a collection of research and readings on the context-rich learning approach that examines the aspects of design, delivery, and assessments. The book proposes novel approaches to designing and delivering context-rich learning across all disciplines. Covering topics such as learning experiences, sustainable development, and user experience design, this premier reference source is a valuable resource of inspiration to learning and training facilitators, instructional designers, assessment developers, instructional technologists, psychometricians, educators and administrators of both higher and K-12 education, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and academicians.
