Book Synopsis Caminhos para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável by : Joana Gabriela Barbosa Amorim
Download or read book Caminhos para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável written by Joana Gabriela Barbosa Amorim and published by Editora Dialética. This book was released on 2022-07-04 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Agenda 2030, aprovada em 2015 por todos os Estados membros da ONU, tem como objetivo principal contribuir para o alcance dos 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável - ODS, com foco na melhoria das condições de vida no planeta e enfrentamento dos desafios globais, como por exemplo as mudanças climáticas, a erradicação da pobreza, a preservação dos recursos naturais, a produção de energia limpa e acessível, o acesso à água potável e ao saneamento, entre outros. O sucesso desta Agenda dependerá do trabalho interdisciplinar de pesquisadores, cientistas e líderes que estejam à altura da tarefa. Mas também de muitos que são divulgadores desta nova oportunidade que se apresenta à humanidade e nos conscientiza de sua natureza categórica. Espera-se que esta coletânea, realizada por autores de diversas áreas do conhecimento, atenda às expectativas dos interessados, especialistas ou não, e que se torne uma referência para o início de uma reflexão interdisciplinar sobre essa problemática tão urgente, que precisa estar estabelecida no coração das pessoas, na boca da sociedade e na cabeça e ação dos tomadores de decisão, uma vez que, embora possa parecer clichê, a batalha pela sustentabilidade e, claro, pela durabilidade das condições do nosso planeta é uma responsabilidade de todos.

This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Organização das Nações Unidas prevê um crescimento da população mundial para 9,6 bilhões de pessoas no ano de 2050, muitas das quais viverão em países que já enfrentam insegurança alimentar. Esse cenário populacional traz consigo uma maior evidenciação das preocupações acerca da urgência em conciliar desenvolvimento e sustentabilidade, visto que, para alimentar tal população, a produção agrícola terá de aumentar aproximadamente em 50%, situação difícil devido aos efeitos das alterações climáticas sobre os cultivos agrícolas. Esta coletânea reúne três artigos com relevância acerca deste assunto, visto que o planejamento de culturas agrícolas devido a mudanças climáticas afeta diretamente as agroindústrias, responsáveis pelo beneficiamento dos produtos gerados no campo. O Painel Intergovernamental sobre Mudanças Climáticas que aconteceu em 2021 apresentou análises científicas alarmantes sobre os impactos das atividades antrópicas no planeta e, como consequência, uma crise ambiental com mudanças climáticas sem precedentes, gerando fenômenos meteorológicos extremos. No último artigo desta coletânea seremos apresentados a uma das estratégias que têm ganhado espaço para um desenvolvimento econômico alinhado com uma preservação do capital natural, a logística reversa.

Book excerpt: Entende-se por resíduos quaisquer substâncias ou objetos de que o detentor se desfaz ou tem a intenção ou obrigação de se desfazer. Ele representa o resto da atividade humana ou a sobra indesejada de um processo de produção, que tanto pode estar associada à eliminação de microrganismos patogênicos veiculados pelos fluidos e dejetos corporais como ao descarte de resíduos atômicos, radioativos e industriais poluentes. Esta coletânea reúne artigos com o objetivo de discutir sobre o grande desafio do nosso século, a destinação de resíduos e como isso afeta o ambiente e os humanos nele inseridos, considerando os limites da capacidade de suporte do ambiente e com consciência da nossa relação com a natureza, principalmente no que diz respeito aos recursos que utilizamos e aos dos destinos que damos aos resíduos produzidos, só assim podemos amenizar o impacto sobre o ambiente e garantir um mundo habitável para as próximas gerações.
Book Synopsis Brazilian Geography by : Rubén C. Lois González
Download or read book Brazilian Geography written by Rubén C. Lois González and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the history and theoretical contributions of Brazilian geography since the late twentieth century and shows how this sphere of knowledge has been organically integrated with social and territorial issues and with social movements. The relationship between the subjects and objects of research in Brazilian geography has been centred on the understanding and transformation of realities marked by injustice and inequality. Against this backdrop, the geography of the country has developed by integrating, relating to, and forming part of those realities as it headed out into the streets. Brazilian geography continues to hold theoretical debate in high regard as a result of the influence of critical theory. This book thus covers the theoretical approaches in Brazilian geography, its different lines of research, and above all its character as manifested in culture and society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a comprehensive overview and cutting-edge assessment of community forestry. Containing contributions from academics, practitioners, and professionals, the Routledge Handbook of Community Forestry presents a truly global overview with case studies drawn from across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The Handbook begins with an overview of the chapters and a discussion of the concept of community forestry and the key issues. Topics as wide-ranging as Indigenous forestry, conservation and ecosystem management, relationships with industrial forestry, trade and supply systems, land tenure and land grabbing, and climate change are addressed. The Handbook also focuses on governance, looking at the range of approaches employed, including multi-level governance and rights-based approaches, and the principal actors involved from local communities and Indigenous Peoples to governments and national and international non-governmental organisations. The Handbook reveals the importance of the historical context to community forestry and the effects of power and politics. Importantly, the Handbook not only focuses on successful examples of community forestry, but also addresses failures in order to highlight the key challenges we are still facing and potential solutions. The Routledge Handbook of Community Forestry is essential reading for academics, professionals, and practitioners interested in forestry, natural resource management, conservation, and sustainable development.

Book Synopsis Sustainability Challenges and Solutions at the Base of the Pyramid by : Prabhu Kandachar
Download or read book Sustainability Challenges and Solutions at the Base of the Pyramid written by Prabhu Kandachar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the turn of the millennium it had become painfully evident that development aid, charity or "global business-as-usual" were not going to be the mechanisms to alleviate global poverty. Today, there is little dispute that poverty remains the most pressing global problem calling for innovative solutions. One recent strategy is the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) concept developed by Prahalad and Hart, which relies on entrepreneurial activity tapping into the previously ignored markets of the economically most disadvantaged. It is a process requiring innovations in several disciplines: technological, social and business.This book covers a number of areas. First, much of the current BoP discussion emphasises targeting products to the needs of the poor. But do we actually know what the real needs of the poor are? This book takes a bottom-up human-centred approach and examines examples that truly engage the poor in BoP product and service development. What types of needs assessment methodologies are indicated considering the cultural differences in BoP countries? Are the existing methodologies adequate? Do they need to be redefined and redeveloped? Second, the book considers how we can balance poverty alleviation and stimulate economic growth without stressing the ecosystem. Tragically, the poor are hardest hit by the adverse effects of environmental deterioration such as water shortages, climate change or the destruction of habitats. While the economic welfare of the poor is critical, the BoP approach must balance its inherent paradox of encouraging greater consumption while avoiding further pressures on environmental sustainability. The link between the BoP approach and sustainable development is a key feature of this book. Third, it looks at innovation and asks what kinds of"bottom-up" innovation (open source, technological, social and business) support BoP initiatives (and sustainable development)?Fourth, the book deals with the relationship between development assistance and BoP. Is a BoP strategy the antithesis to development aid or can these two co-exist or even complement each other?Finally, the book raises questions about the relationship between corporate responsibility and BoP. Is BoP a new form of corporate neo-colonialism or a new form of corporate responsibility? Although the BoP concept has unleashed an extensive and generally enthusiastic response from academics, businesses, NGOs and governments, the knowledge domain around this concept is still in the early stages of development. This book addresses that need with a focus on the needs of the end-users – the poor – as a starting point for BoP products and innovations. With contributions from both supporters and critics, it provides a treasure trove of global knowledge on how the concept has developed, what its successes and failures have been and what promise it holds as a long-term strategy for alleviating poverty and tackling global sustainability.
