Book Synopsis La gestión del agua, la seguridad hídrica y la adptación al cambio climático by : Claudia Winkelman Sadoff
Download or read book La gestión del agua, la seguridad hídrica y la adptación al cambio climático written by Claudia Winkelman Sadoff and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El agua es el medio principal a través del cual el cambio climático hará sentir sus efectos sobre las personas, los ecosistemas y las economías. Por ende, la gestión de recursos hídricos debería constituir un enfoque preventivo para la adaptación al cambio climático. No contiene todas las respuestas para la adaptación; al contrario, hará falta una amplia variedad de las mismas. Pero el agua es tanto parte del problema como también una parte importante de la solución. Es un buen punto de partida. A nivel global, se espera que la totalidad de los efectos del cambio climático sobre los recursos de agua dulce sean negativos. Sin embargo, hay muchos aspectos que aun no se comprenden bien. Si bien la relación entre el aumento de las temperaturas y los cambios en la precipitación ha sido demostrada exhaustivamente, no sucede lo mismo en el caso de los efectos sobre los caudales de los ríos y la recarga de las aguas subterráneas. Es necesario que se comprendan mejor los desafíos específicos planteados por el derretimiento de la nieve y los glaciares, así como los efectos en la calidad del agua. Las medidas destinadas a implementar una sólida gestión del agua constituyen medidas de adaptación. La comprensión de la dinámica de la variabilidad actual y del cambio climático futuro, en tanto que afectan el suministro y la demanda de agua en todos los sectores que hacen uso del recurso, y una mayor capacidad para responder a la misma, permiten lograr una mejor gestión de los recursos hídricos. Esto fortalece la capacidad de recuperación ante lospeligros actuales del cambio climático, al mismo tiempo que se desarrolla la capacidad de adaptación al cambio climático futuro. Alcanzar y sostener la seguridad hídrica ? definida en términos generales como la capacidad de aprovechar el potencial productivo del agua y limitar su potencial destructivo ? brinda un enfoque para las estrategias de adaptación y un marco para la acción. Para los países que no hayan alcanzado la seguridad hídrica, el cambio climático hará que ello resulte aún más difícil. Mientras que para aquellos que tienen seguridad hídrica, probablemente les resulte difícil sostenerla. Es probable que todos necesiten destinar recursos adicionales a la gestión de recursos hídricos. Abordar la seguridad hídrica implica una sólida estrategia de adaptación temprana que proporcione beneficios inmediatos a las poblaciones vulnerables y desatendidas, y promueva de esta manera los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio, al mismo tiempo que fortalezca los sistemas y la capacidad de gestión a largo plazo de los riesgos climáticos. Muchas sociedades querrán seguir invirtiendo en la gestión del agua para ir más allá de la seguridad hídrica y aprovechar todos los beneficios económicos, sociales y ambientales que pueda generar un uso más sabio del agua.
Book Synopsis Repensar la sostenibilidad by : ENRÍQUEZ SÁNCHEZ José María

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sostenibilidad, cualidad de lo sostenible, hace referencia a un proceso que puede alargarse en el tiempo. Cuando este proceso lo referimos a cuestiones socio-ecológicas, comprobamos cómo, desde hace ya largo tiempo, no son pocas las voces acreditadas que han puesto sobre aviso del progresivo deterioro ecológico y sus consecuencias perjudiciales para la vida humana. Nuestra obra parte de estas negatividades para repensar la idea de sostenibilidad en sus justos términos, y así dar cabida a una variedad de aportaciones que ayuden a restituimos dentro de los límites ecosistémicos.

Book Synopsis Gender and Climate Change: An Introduction by : Irene Dankelman
Download or read book Gender and Climate Change: An Introduction written by Irene Dankelman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although climate change affects everybody it is not gender neutral. It has significant social impacts and magnifies existing inequalities such as the disparity between women and men in their vulnerability and ability to cope with this global phenomenon. This new textbook, edited by one of the authors of the seminal Women and the Environment in the Third World: Alliance for the Future (1988) which first exposed the links between environmental degradation and unequal impacts on women, provides a comprehensive introduction to gender aspects of climate change. Over 35 authors have contributed to the book. It starts with a short history of the thinking and practice around gender and sustainable development over the past decades. Next it provides a theoretical framework for analyzing climate change manifestations and policies from the perspective of gender and human security. Drawing on new research, the actual and potential effects of climate change on gender equality and women's vulnerabilities are examined, both in rural and urban contexts. This is illustrated with a rich range of case studies from all over the world and valuable lessons are drawn from these real experiences. Too often women are primarily seen as victims of climate change, and their positive roles as agents of change and contributors to livelihood strategies are neglected. The book disputes this characterization and provides many examples of how women around the world organize and build resilience and adapt to climate change and the role they are playing in climate change mitigation. The final section looks at how far gender mainstreaming in climate mitigation and adaptation has advanced, the policy frameworks in place and how we can move from policy to effective action. Accompanied by a wide range of references and key resources, this book provides students and professionals with an essential, comprehensive introduction to the gender aspects of climate change.
Book Synopsis The North American Mosaic by : Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat
Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
Book Synopsis The End of Karma: Hope and Fury Among India's Young by : Somini Sengupta

This book was released on 2016-03-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] sharply observed study . . . richly detailed portraits.”—Economist Somini Sengupta emigrated from Calcutta to California as a young child in 1975. Returning thirty years later as the bureau chief for The New York Times, she found a vastly different country: one defined as much by aspiration and possibility—at least by the illusion of possibility—as it is by the structures of sex and caste. The End of Karma is an exploration of this new India through the lens of young people from different worlds: a woman who becomes a Maoist rebel; a brother charged for the murder of his sister, who had married the “wrong” man; a woman who opposes her family and hopes to become a police officer. Driven by aspiration—and thwarted at every step by state and society—they are making new demands on India’s democracy for equality of opportunity, dignity for girls, and civil liberties. Sengupta spotlights these stories of ordinary men and women, weaving together a groundbreaking portrait of a country in turmoil.
