Download or read book Infraestrutura para o desenvolvimento sustentável da Amazônia written by Ricardo Abramovay and published by Editora Elefante. This book was released on 2022-07-25 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A defesa da floresta e a crítica a todos os projetos que resultam na sua destruição baseavam-se numa ideia que começou como um sentimento e uma intuição: a condição para o desenvolvimento da Amazônia e para a proteção de seus povos originários e tradicionais é que ela permaneça sendo Amazônia. Este livro organiza e sistematiza essa ideia, para que possamos estruturalmente resistir melhor agora e avançar mais rápido quando for possível. — Marina Silva, ex-ministra do Meio Ambiente (2003-2008) *** Ricardo Abramovay escreveu um texto ousado, que discute novos conceitos sobre a infraestrutura do desenvolvimento sustentável, em particular da Amazônia. É uma visão contemporânea, que envolve quatro dimensões desafiadoras balizadas pelo horizonte de crescimento com a floresta e por uma ideia de bem-estar que delineia uma nova relação do brasileiro com a natureza. — Izabella Teixeira, ex-ministra do Meio Ambiente (2010-2016) *** O livro traz uma visão crucial da Amazônia como a própria infraestrutura. E das mais avançadas: regula o clima, as marés, bombeia a umidade que tornam férteis as terras do sul, lidera o planeta em capacidade de gerar vida a partir da água, do ar e da luz. Quando o Brasil entender isso, aí sim será o tal "país do futuro". A continuar sabotando-a com pastos, mercúrio e fogo, seguirá na vanguarda do atraso. — Caetano Scannavino, Coordenador do Projeto Saúde & Alegria

Book Synopsis Indigenous Amazonia, Regional Development and Territorial Dynamics by : Walter Leal Filho
Download or read book Indigenous Amazonia, Regional Development and Territorial Dynamics written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a valuable collection of case studies and conceptual approaches that outline the present state of Amazonia in the 21st century. The many problems are described and the benefits, as well as the achievements of regional development are also discussed. The book focuses on three themes for discussion and recommendations: indigenous peoples, their home (the forest), and the way(s) to protect and sustain their natural home (biodiversity conservation). Using these three themes this volume offers a comprehensive critical review of the facts that have been the reality of Amazonia and fills a gap in the literature.The book will appeal to scholars, professors and practitioners. An outstanding group of experienced researchers and individuals with detailed knowledge of the proposed themes have produced chapters on an array of inter-related issues to demonstrate the current situation and future prospects of Amazonia. Issues investigated and debated include: territorial management; indigenous territoriality and land demarcation; ethnodevelopment; indigenous higher education and capacity building; natural resource appropriation; food security and traditional knowledge; megadevelopmental projects; indigenous acculturation; modernization of Amazonia and its regional integration; anthropogenic interventions; protected areas and conservation; political ecology; postcolonial issues, and the sustainability of Amazonia.
Book Synopsis The context of natural forest management and FSC certification in Brazil by : Claudia Romero
Download or read book The context of natural forest management and FSC certification in Brazil written by Claudia Romero and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management decisions on appropriate practices and policies regarding tropical forests often need to be made in spite of innumerable uncertainties and complexities. Among the uncertainties are the lack of formalization of lessons learned regarding the impacts of previous programs and projects. Beyond the challenges of generating the proper information on these impacts, there are other difficulties that relate with how to socialize the information and knowledge gained so that change is transformational and enduring. The main complexities lie in understanding the interactions of social-ecological systems at different scales and how they varied through time in response to policy and other processes. This volume is part of a broad research effort to develop an independent evaluation of certification impacts with stakeholder input, which focuses on FSC certification of natural tropical forests. More specifically, the evaluation program aims at building the evidence base of the empirical biophysical, social, economic, and policy effects that FSC certification of natural forest has had in Brazil as well as in other tropical countries. The contents of this volume highlight the opportunities and constraints that those responsible for managing natural forests for timber production have experienced in their efforts to improve their practices in Brazil. As such, the goal of the studies in this volume is to serve as the foundation to design an impact evaluation framework of the impacts of FSC certification of natural forests in a participatory manner with interested parties, from institutions and organizations, to communities and individuals.

Book Synopsis Land-use trends and environmental governance policies in Brazil by : Andrew Miccolis
Download or read book Land-use trends and environmental governance policies in Brazil written by Andrew Miccolis and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2014-12-29 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the policy framework in Brazil has played a decisive role in shaping land use and changes in the rural landscape. Over the last three decades, the country has made impressive gains on socioeconomic, environmental and rural development policy fronts. Nonetheless, an overall analysis of Brazils policy framework pertaining to land use shows contradictions and constraints that need to be addressed in the long run. One such contradiction is given by disparities in rural credit and finance policies, with greater amounts favoring large-scale farming as opposed to family farming, despite the key role of smallholders in food production and job creation, and still low resources allocated to programs promoting low-carbon agricultural practices. Another contradiction is the dichotomy between climate change policies and mainstream agricultural and rural development policies. Brazils overriding challenge is harmonizing and effectively coordinating these different policy agendas at their various levels of implementation so as to effectively manage trade-offs. The question is what measures can be put in place to enable continued growth of agricultural production while also reducing its negative social and environmental costs? The answer lies partly in increasing support for implementing and up-scaling initiatives to promote low emissions agriculture and providing other economic incentives for adopting more sustainable use and conservation-oriented agricultural and land-use practices. Ultimately, reconciling agricultural production with conservation and rural livelihoods requires greater coordination and harmonization among sectoral policies at various levels of government. Achieving this goal requires the adoption of a combination of a value chain-based and territorial approach to land-use planning with more integrated farming systems in order to enable making improved decisions according to multiple trade-offs and impacts.
Book Synopsis Environment and Citizenship in Latin America by : Alex Latta
Download or read book Environment and Citizenship in Latin America written by Alex Latta and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarship related to environmental questions in Latin America has only recently begun to coalesce around citizenship as both an empirical site of inquiry and an analytical frame of reference. This has led to a series of new insights and perspectives, but few efforts have been made to bring these various approaches into a sustained conversation across different social, temporal and geographic contexts. This volume is the result of a collaborative endeavour to advance debates on environmental citizenship, while simultaneously and systematically addressing broader theoretical and methodological questions related to the particularities of studying environment and citizenship in Latin America. Providing a window onto leading scholarship in the field, the book also sets an ambitious agenda to spark further research.

Book Synopsis Disasters and Neoliberalism by : Gabriela Vera-Cortés
Download or read book Disasters and Neoliberalism written by Gabriela Vera-Cortés and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how the adoption of the neoliberal development model has increased the social vulnerability to disasters, with a special focus on Mexico, a country which once was the role model of the neoliberal turn in Latin America. It brings together 12 case studies of disasters such as floods, earthquakes and volcanic emergencies, in both urban and rural areas, to show how neoliberal development projects and changes in legislation affected disaster prevention and management in different parts of the country. The case studies from Mexico are complemented by two comparative studies which analyze the impacts of neoliberalism in disaster prevention and management in Mexico, Brazil, United States and Italy. Disasters and Neoliberalism: Different Expressions of Social Vulnerability presents a unique contribution to the interdisciplinary field of disaster research by presenting qualitative studies of disaster vulnerability from the perspective of scholars from the Global South, bringing a fresh and critical approach to English speaking social sciences qualitative researchers working on disaster risks in a number of fields, such as geography, anthropology, sociology, political science and environmental studies.

Book excerpt: A existência da mulher indígena na mitologia é um caso labirintado que nem sempre nos deixa tirar conclusão lógica. Esta peremptória afirmativa nos permite inferir que, em se tratando da mulher sateré-mawé, só é possível conhecermos o seu valor dentro da etnia se localizarmos a inscrita capaz de nos levar até o rastro onde se firma o ethos feminino. Tecer fina tessitura sobre o ethos da mulher sateré-mawé supõe recompor o conjunto de valores arquetípicos que vicejam no dorso do contemporâneo e que pulsam nas veias da tradição, como um escuro potencialmente capaz de ver a luz.

Book Synopsis Climate Protection and Environmental Interests in Renewable Energy Law by : Paula Galbiatti Silveira
Download or read book Climate Protection and Environmental Interests in Renewable Energy Law written by Paula Galbiatti Silveira and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about environmental and climate legal protection in the energy transition. The Paris Agreement has a binding commitment of holding the global temperature increase to 2°C while pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C. To cope with the negative effects of climate changes and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, one of the primary responses has been the deployment of renewable energy sources, transiting from fossil fuels to sustainable electricity production. However, renewable energy sources can also cause significant environmental impacts. Wind energy, for instance, can impact biodiversity, such as birds and bats, killing them when colliding with turbines and affecting their migration and nesting. This results in conflicts in environmental law. This book questions whether, in the energy transition, the generation of electricity from renewable sources to protect the climate is compatible with the protection of the environment, both interests in environmental law. To address this question, this book follows a legal-environmental perspective and assesses the common problem of solving those internal environmental conflicts in Brazilian and German law to understand and compare whether and how both legal systems solve the conflicts by compatibilizing the protection of the climate with other environmental interests. The legal analysis focuses on land-use planning and environmental licensing, assessing similarities and differences, and evaluating the results, identifying what one country can learn from the other.
Book Synopsis Coastal Management Revisited by : Bernhard Glaeser
Download or read book Coastal Management Revisited written by Bernhard Glaeser and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents an overview and historic perspectives of a novel scientific field coming of age today: coastal and ocean management. It covers diverse and changing issues, ranging from conflict resolution to governance and ethical-political imperatives, natural disasters and climate change, culminating in coastal and ocean typologies, the basis for a future theory of coasts and oceans. Eighteen chapters, written by two main authors in cooperation with international experts, review 25 years of research. The authors address challenges to society related to global change issues that have been generated by human activity in both temperate (Sweden, Germany and the United States) and tropical regions (Brazil, Indonesia). Ultimately, the book documents the maturation of a field and responds to changing societal needs and scientific outlooks. It gathers recent analyses along with important earlier research, with a foreword by Biliana Cicin-Sain and Richard Delaney, globally renowned as coastal and ocean experts in theory and practice. Its broad approach makes the book a must-read for graduate and postgraduate students, as well as coastal management and marine spatial planning practitioners, and for researchers in the fields of geography, anthropology, history of science, human and social ecology, and environmental and development studies.
