Book excerpt: This second edition of Sustainable Development: Issues and Challenges for Nigeria remains an excellent and interdisciplinary work on the subject of sustainable development. The book will benefit especially all government functionaries in all parastatals and institutions related to the Ministry of Environment, urban planners professionals, policy-makers, Non-Government Organisations, law enforcement agents, students and teachers of Environmental studies, International Relations, International Law, Peace and Conflict, International Relations, Political Science, Institute of Ecology, Institute of Sustainable Development, Development Studies as well as environmental practitioners and those in theological studies. The book is equally invaluable to all Nigerians who are sincerely interested in the progress and development of the country knowing that development, environmental degradation, population and poverty are inter-connected. In effect, this book is a concrete response to the need to educate and empower the citizens in particular to value and protect their environment in the struggle for authentic solutions in respect of poverty, development and good governance. It is also a call for Nigeria as a major player in international politics to take up the challenges of climate change, sustainable development and politics of collaboration beyond its borders. This second edition takes a critical look at the issues and the challenges of sustainable development in the context of the major international instruments in place to combat environmental degradation using Nigeria as a case study. The book remains a comprehensive and highly readable work and sets the subject firmly in the context of world political events, and brings out the importance of challenges, economic, political, religious and cultural influences that affect it. The work is a scholarly synthesis and a critical reflection from an interdisciplinary perspective devoid of jargons with which such a book could be plagued. The questions at the end of the chapters allow for further enquiries and research for the reader. The book is rich as teaching materials.

This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores Nigeria’s progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, presenting key country-specific lessons, as well as providing innovative solutions and practices which are transferrable to other emerging economies. Despite all of Nigeria’s potential, and substantial oil revenues, poverty remains widespread and the country faces many challenges. The contributors to this book provide comparative historical and contemporary analysis of the main challenges for achieving progress in the SDGs, and make recommendations for the most effectives ways of developing, adopting, disseminating and scaling them. Starting with the conceptualisation and evolution of the SDGs, the book goes on to consider the goal on ending poverty, and the urgent need to combat climate change and its impacts. The book also reflects on the role of business and taxation, and the cultural and societal dimensions of the SDGs, including education, gender, and the role of the church. Overall, the book focuses on knowledge/implementation gaps and the role of collaborative partnerships and disruptive technologies in implementing the framework in general. This book will be of interest to scholars, policy makers and practitioners of sustainable development and African studies, as well as those with a particular interest in Nigeria.

Low-Carbon Economy as Solution for Mitigating Climate Change Impacts written by Omobolade Olagunju and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 85.0 - A, course: International Law and Diplomacy, language: English, abstract: This research study will focus its attention on Sustainable Development Goal number 13: "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts". This goal specifically addresses the issue of ecology, environment, the risk from fossil fuel energy, activities caused by industrialization and technological advancement in our world, which has affected global warming and by extension threat to life and the environment. The primary objective of this research study is the analysis of the prospects and challenges of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (on environment) in Nigeria through the Low Carbon Economy strategy. The questions which this research study aims to answer are: 1. How can the utilization of an alternative source of energy serve as a measure to address the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria? 2. What are the impacts of human activities on climate change in Nigeria? 3. What are the prospects of the Low Carbon Economy as a measure in addressing climate change in Nigeria? 4. What are the various challenges militating against the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria? Global warming is now a global warning. An industrialized world heavily dependent on fossil energy is extremely susceptible to the effects of climate change. In the struggle for industrialization and advancement in technology, anthropogenic activities have led to the depletion of the ozone layer which has had adverse effects on the environment. The impacts that are being felt as a result of global warming led to the search for a solution. One of the solutions proffered was the usage of Low Carbon in the Economy. This is a concept aimed at reducing the level of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere while combining the use of better and cleaner energy sources with the proficient use of

This book was released on 2023-11-25 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study contends that proper urban environmental management strategies are vital to the sustainable development of cities in any country. It demonstrates that cities as drivers of sustainable development can be positive forces in support of social equality, cultural vitality, economic prosperity and environmental sustainability. It takes a primary focus on Ibadan, Nigeria. Most cities in sub-Saharan Africa have become badly degraded. Leaders and planners rarely fully grasp the meaning of the concept of sustainable development, and fail to combine their bids to achieve economic development with urban environmental management strategies. The book describes how reformation and transformation are still possible, in Ibadan and elsewhere, and discusses the Sustainable Ibadan Project (SIP) as a methodology to turn Ibadan into a globally competitive and sustainable city. It will be of interest to urban planners worldwide, and to researchers and students of the Global South.

Download or read book Sustainable Development in Africa written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-09 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves the purpose of documenting and promoting African experiences on sustainable development, which encompasses both, formal and non-formal education. Sustainable development is very important to Africa, but there is a paucity of publication which documents and promotes experiences from African countries. Due to their complexity, the interrelations between social, economic and political factors related to sustainable development, especially at universities, need to be better understood. There is also a real need to showcase successful examples of how African institutions are handling their sustainability challenges. It is against this background that this book has been produced. It is a truly interdisciplinary publication, useful to scholars, social movements, practitioners and members of governmental agencies and private companies, undertaking research and/or executing projects focusing on sustainability from across Africa. As African nations strive to pursue the UN Sustainable Development Goals, it is imperative to cater for the information needs seen across the continent and foster the dissemination of experiences and case studies, which may support both, on-going and future efforts. The scope of the book is deliberately kept wide, and we are looking for contributions across the spectrum of sustainable development from business and economics, to arts and fashion, administration, environment, languages and media studies.
