Academics from China and Brazil lend themselves, through this cooperation, to the production of knowledge that serves as a basis for an adequate regulation of the matter, taking into account the international law for people’s development and the common principles of environmental protection added to the social protection and improvement of institutions plus the control of planned actions regarding the execution and implementation of this new energy matrix. Law is a language that makes it possible, in addition to esolving possible conflicts, to guide and put into practice concrete actions in the sense of expanding possibilities for the good use of renewable energies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses sustainability and law in a multifaceted way. Together, sustainability and law are an emerging challenge for research and science. This volume contributes through an interdisciplinary concept to its further exploration. The contributions explore this exciting domain with innovative ideas and replicable approaches. It combines a variety of authors, from both the public and the private sectors, and thereby guarantees a broad view that enshrines the more theoretical arguments from the academic side as well as stronger practical applicable perspectives. The book provides space for thoughtful expansions of established theories as well as the hopeful emergence of innovative ideas. Moreover, the combination of three to five contributions into the eleven parts respectively aims toward a compression of like minded thoughts. This should lead to an intensification of exchange of viewpoints from different angles on a similar theme. Readers therefore also have the opportunity to concentrate on single chapters, but receive comprised knowledge and a variety of thoughts for new ideas on a particular theme.

Download or read book PROBLEMAS AMBIENTAIS RECORRENTES: como administrar os riscos que comprometem a qualidade de vida em um cenário de hiper-complexidade urbana. written by Carlos Wunderlich and published by Carlos Wunderlich. This book was released on with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entendendo que direito e sociedade evoluem simultaneamente, naquilo que Niklas Luhmann denomina de co-evolução, serão expostas as mudanças decorrentes do processo de urbanização desordenada das cidades nos preceitos da sociedade de risco proposta por Ulrich Beck. Será demonstrado que o modelo de desenvolvimento urbano adotado pelas grandes cidades acaba comprometendo a qualidade de vida urbana com o aparecimento de problemas e riscos ambientais recorrentes. Neste sentido, os efeitos remanescentes do modelo desenvolvimentista das cidades deverão ser contornados por instrumentos que gerenciem os riscos, afim de que se perpetuem as propostas sustentáveis e indispensáveis à qualidade de vida.
Book Synopsis The brazilian CFIA model as a mechanism for enhancing protection and respect for socio-economic rights by : Marina Martins Martes
Download or read book The brazilian CFIA model as a mechanism for enhancing protection and respect for socio-economic rights written by Marina Martins Martes and published by Editora Dialética. This book was released on 2023-09-28 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research evaluates whether the new model of investment agreement developed by Brazil (CFIA) is a mechanism for enhancing protection and respect for social and economic rights. The research starts by exploring the origins of investment treaties, their development and main characteristics. It examines why investment treaties and socio-economic rights are related, by mapping cases in which investment treaties have already impaired the protection of such rights. The research then analyzes how these two issues shall be jointly handled. It considers international organizations? initiatives to regulate business and human rights and investment treaties? frameworks that foster sustainable development, as well as new investment agreements? models developed by different countries, and then suggests criteria for evaluating whether an investment treaty is adequate from the socio-economic rights standpoint. Finally, this research investigates the CFIA model, brings a brief historical overview, evaluates CFIAs? wording, and examines how some CFIAs? institutional mechanisms consider corporate social responsibility issues. In conclusion, this research asserts that the CFIA model can be a mechanism for enhancing protection and respect for socio-economic rights, but some concerns (particularly related to safeguarding States? regulatory space and providing for stronger obligations to investors and States to protect human rights) need to be addressed.

Book Synopsis Urban Growth and the Circular Economy by : S. Syngellakis
Download or read book Urban Growth and the Circular Economy written by S. Syngellakis and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented at the 1st International Conference on Urban Growth and the Circular Economy that was held in Alicante, Spain the papers included in this book focus on the continuing and rapid growth of cities and their regions of influence and how that has led to the need to find new solutions which allow for promoting their sustainable development. The quest for the Sustainable City has until recently focused on the efficient use of resources with the application of technical advances giving rise to the definition of SMART Cities. The economic model emphasised however is still “linear” in the sense that the design and consumption follows the pattern of extraction of natural resources, manufacturing, product usage and waste disposal. The continuous growth of urban population has recently given rise to the emergence of a new model which responds better to the challenges of natural resource depletion as well as waste management. This model has been called the “circular economy”. The circular economy is a recent concept based on the reuse of what up to now has been considered wastes, reintroducing them into the productive cycle. The objective of the circular economy is to reduce consumption and achieve savings in terms of raw materials, water and energy, thus contributing to the preservation of resources in order to reach sustainable development. One of the most important of these resources is water which is becoming a scarce commodity in an ever expanding world whose population demands a better standard of living. Water is required for agricultural purposes as well as by industry, in addition to its use by the general population. The recycling of water is an essential component of the circular economy. There is no possibility for the success of a long term economic policy without addressing the problems of natural resources and environmental pollution, which will affect the reuse of materials and products. The current market economy based on a linear model from resource extraction, manufacturing, consumption and waste disposal, has not proved a long term suitable solution, in spite of the substantial efforts made in reducing its environmental impacts. This is largely due to the continuous population growth, in a society that demands high standards of living, thus requiring an ever increasing share of natural resources.

Download or read book Cycling Activism written by Peter Cox and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-length study of cycling activism through the lens of social movement theory, this book demonstrates that, despite tremendous differences, bike activism can be understood as a continuous and connected activity spanning a century and a half and across continents. With examples from street protest to institutional lobbying, it emphasises cycling’s current central importance to zero carbon transport futures, while showing that cycling activism is also not always about the bike or the cyclist, as successive generations of activists have used cycling to articulate different visions of freedom and autonomy. Moving from a consideration of social movement theory as a means to understand cycling activism, the author presents a series of case studies of collective action, organisations, networks and campaigns in order to illustrate and elaborate a theoretical model through which diverse campaigns and approaches to change can be understood. As such, Cycling Activism will appeal to those with interests in mobilisation for social change, mobility and transport studies, and social movement theory, as well as cycling studies.
