Download or read book Multinational Enterprises and the Challenge of Sustainable Development written by John R. McIntyre and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transnational corporations play a role in the design, diffusion, and consolidation of sustainable development in the context of globalization and multinational firms. In this timely book European and American contributors analyze this role and explore the complex and dynamic phenomena of economic, political, cultural and legal interactions involved. In order to understand this interplay, the authors examine the practices and organizational behaviors used by multinationals in sustainable development. They also discuss the evolving concepts that multinationals hold about sustainable development and corporate social responsibility and how companies reaffirm these philosophies through their strategy and organizational practices such as human resource development, marketing, supply chain, information technology, law, and communications. The authors outline an approach to help identify the key details and motivating factors in decision making. Scholars, students and policy analysts in the fields of business, ecology, economic development and developmental economics and consultants focusing in corporate planning and strategic analysis will find this original collection of great value.

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.

Download or read book From Summits to Solutions written by Hiroshi Kato and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A positive agenda for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 All 193 member nations of the United Nations agreed in September 2015 to adopt a set of seventeen "Sustainable Development Goals," to be achieved by 2030. Each of the goals—in such areas as education and health care —is laudable in and of itself, and governments and organizations are working hard on them. But so far there is no overall, positive agenda of what new things need to be done to ensure the goals are achieved across all nations. In a search of fresh approaches to the longstanding problems targeted by the Sustainable Development Goals, the Japan International Cooperation Agency and the Global Economy and Development program at Brookings mounted a collaborative research effort to advance implementation of Agenda 2030. This edited volume is the product of that effort. The book approaches the UN's goals through three broad lenses. The first considers new approaches to capturing value. Examples include Nigeria's first green bonds, practical methods to expand women's economic opportunities, benchmarking to reflect business contributions to achieving the goals, new incentives for investment in infrastructure, and educational systems that promote cross-sector problem solving. The second lens entails new approaches to targeting places, including oceans, rural areas, fast-growing developing cities, and the interlocking challenge of data systems, including geospatial information generated by satellites. The third lens focuses on updating governance, broadly defined. Issues include how civil society can align with the SDG challenge; how an advanced economy like Canada can approach the goals at home and abroad; what needs to be done to foster new approaches for managing the global commons; and how can multilateral institutions for health and development finance evolve.

Download or read book Strategies for Sustainable Transformation of Developing Countries written by Mark Izevbekhai and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategies for the Sustainable Transformation of Developing Countries attempts a holistic-solution approach through sustainable development concepts and principles to address challenges in developing countries. In fact, the book is the application of sustainable development, and thus it offers strategies that could be applied to the development and transformation of social, economical, and environmental dimensions of society using the example of Nigeria, a developing country in West Africa. The book is divided into five parts, coveringcritical subjects of development which include education, government and good governance, community security, leadership, and community development. It provides answers to how sustainable development can bring change and benefits to these subject matters within the context of developing countries, using Nigeria as an example. This book is very different from many other book written on the challenges of development, particularly on African countries, in the sense that it gives priority to solutions and mapping them out in a feasible, sustainable, and practical way. The cornerstone of the book is the emphatic suggestion of a national transition initiative programme and Sustainable Community development Programme to drive sustainable development from the top and the bottom of society respectively.

Download or read book Implementing Environmental Constitutionalism written by Erin Daly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constitutions can play a central role in responding to environmental challenges, such as pollution, biodiversity loss, lack of drinking water, and climate change. The vast majority of people on earth live under constitutional systems that protect the environment or recognize environmental rights. Such environmental constitutionalism, however, falls short without effective implementation by policymakers, advocates and jurists. Implementing Environmental Constitutionalism: Current Global Challenges explains and explores this 'implementation gap'. This collection is both broad and deep. While some of the essays analyze crosscutting themes, such as climate change and the need for rule of law that affect the implementation of environmental constitutionalism throughout the world, others delve deeply into geographically contextual experiences for lessons about how constitutional environmental law might be more effectively implemented. This volume informs global conversations about whether and how environmental constitutionalism can be made more effective to protect the natural environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly four decades after Sunny Okosun posited, Which Way Nigeria? Victor Udo serves up a geopolitical literary gem that should be required reading for Nigerian students, policy makers, and civil servants. Which Way Nigeria? navigates post-colonial political and diplomatic conditions, class structure and economic organization, Nigerian culture and the diversity of its ethnic groups, and the environment. Writing from a place of unrelenting patriotism for his homeland, Udo outlines his framework Comprehensive Sustainable Development Planning and Implementation (CSDPI) praxis, through which Nigeria’s structural, leadership and development challenges can finally be overcome. Often referred to as the Giant of Africa, Nigeria is the most populous country on the continent and the seventh most populous country in the world. With more than 90 million of its population under the age of eighteen and the world's eighth largest oil producer, Nigeria is on the precipice of becoming a dominant force in the global economy. But its success has been undermined in recent decades by ethnic and religious conflict, political instability, rampant corruption and an ailing economy. Udo relies on his expertise as a foremost authority on climate change mitigation as a path towards global sustainability, thoughtfully scrutinizing the critical interdependence of politics, society, technology and the environment. A collective call to action for fellow patriots, Which Way Nigeria? illuminates the resilience of nearly 200 million Nigerian citizens with incredible unrealized potential. Masterfully examining the geopolitical context of a fragmented contemporary Nigeria, Udo offers solutions for a path forward that will elevate his homeland and establish it as a unified global force in which all citizens can prosper.
