Book Synopsis European Cities and Global Competitiveness by : Peter Karl Kresl
Download or read book European Cities and Global Competitiveness written by Peter Karl Kresl and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-30 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe is in a troubled state. The macroeconomic situation looks grim, national governments are close to dysfunction, and Europeans are facing austerity and relative decline. The one bright spot on the horizon is the potential for positive action at the level of the city and urban regions. In this book, the editors have assembled a collection of original contributions by scholars from Europe, North America and Asia who offer insights as to how local authorities in Europe might be able to chart a course for their city or urban region during this period of extraordinary difficulty. The volume begins with an Introduction, followed by a set of three papers in Part Two examining European urban competitiveness from the standpoints of measurement and policy. This section also provides a case study of the cities of one country _ Italy _ from which the reader can gain an understanding of the current position of European cities as well as what might be possible going forward. Experience has shown that perhaps the most crucial element in competitiveness enhancement is good and effective governance. To that end, Part Three examines structural aspects of urban government, including polycentric regions, wide metropolitan cooperation, the role of social actors and territorial aggregation. Part Four treats issues of innovation from two perspectives and provides a case study from Eindhoven, while also covering social issues such as demographics, participation, social exclusion and mobility. This set of scholarly reflections will be of considerable benefit to urban practitioners, researchers and students of public policy.
Book Synopsis Cambio climático: Lecciones de y para ciudades de América Latina by : Sylvie Nail
Download or read book Cambio climático: Lecciones de y para ciudades de América Latina written by Sylvie Nail and published by Universidad Externado. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la publicación del Quinto Informe de Evaluación del Panel Intergubernamental del Cambio Climático (ipcc, por sus siglas en inglés), el documento más exhaustivo sobre el tema hasta la fecha, está claramente establecida la influencia humana en el clima y los efectos negativos que tienen nuestras actividades en el cambio climático. Los efectos negativos se traducen en el aumento de la temperatura de la atmósfera, en la acidificación de los océanos, en los cambios en el ciclo global del agua, en el deshielo de los glaciares y en una frecuencia mayor de eventos climáticos extremos. Se sabe que los países en vías de desarrollo no son los más responsables del cambio climático, pero sí son los más sensibles a sus efectos por varios motivos. Sus economías dependen mucho de sectores vulnerables al clima tales como la agricultura, la forestaría y la energía hidroeléctrica; además, por razones económicas, son menos capaces de hacer frente a los impactos de unas condiciones climáticas extremas. Por lo tanto, hoy se publican muchos reportes y estudios sobre el cambio climático en países en vías de desarrollo.

This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean 2014 looks at how economic growth in the region has been slowing since 2011, and the data available for the first six months of 2014 indicate that the region will not match the growth rate of 2.5% recorded in 2013. Growth has been muted over the first few months of the year, owing to stagnant gross fixed capital formation and faltering private consumption. Government consumption, on the other hand, has picked up, and the net contribution of exports has been more positive than during the same period of the previous year. A regional growth rate of 2.2% is forecast for 2014.
Book Synopsis The Demography of Adaptation to Climate Change by : George Martine
Download or read book The Demography of Adaptation to Climate Change written by George Martine and published by UN. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A flurry of extreme weather events, together with projections that grow more somber with every new scientific advance, have dramatically highlighted the need to respond more effectively to the threats already upon humankind. In the midst of a rapidly expanding global adaptation agenda, it is of primary importance to get adaptation and its constituent parts right, in order to generate the most appropriate and effective interventions. Adapting to episodes after they occur is no longer sufficient; we increasingly need to anticipate and reduce the suffering and the enormously damaging impacts of potential coming events. This book addresses a major gap in adaptation efforts to date by pointing to the vital role that an understanding of population dynamics and an extensive use of demographic data have in developing pre-emptive and effective adaptation policies and practices. Politics and an oversimplified understanding of demographic dynamics have long kept population issues out of serious discussions in the framework of climate negotiations. Within adaptation actions, however, this is beginning to change, and this volume is intended to provide a framework for taking that change forward, towards better, more evidence-based adaptation. It provides key concepts linking demography and adaptation, data foundations and techniques for analyzing climate vulnerability, as well as case studies where these concepts and analyses illuminate who is vulnerable and how to help build their resilience.
Book Synopsis Embodied Carbon in Buildings by : Francesco Pomponi
Download or read book Embodied Carbon in Buildings written by Francesco Pomponi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-28 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a single-source reference for whole life embodied impacts of buildings. The comprehensive and persuasive text, written by over 50 invited experts from across the world, offers an indispensable resource both to newcomers and to established practitioners in the field. Ultimately it provides a persuasive argument as to why embodied impacts are an essential aspect of sustainable built environments. The book is divided into four sections: measurement, including a strong emphasis on uncertainty analysis, as well as offering practical case studies of individual buildings and a comparison of materials; management, focusing in particular on the perspective of designers and contractors; mitigation, which identifies some specific design strategies as well as challenges; and finally global approaches, six chapters which describe in authoritative detail the ways in which the different regions of the world are tackling the issue.
