Gender and Green Governance: The Political Economy of Women's Presence Within and Beyond Community Forestry
ISBN: 9780199683024 / Angielski / Miękka / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Economists studying environmental collective action and green governance have paid little attention to gender. Research on gender and green governance in other disciplines has focused mainly on women's near absence from forestry institutions. This interdisciplinary book turns that focus on its head to ask: what if women were present in these institutions? What difference would that make?
Would women's inclusion in forest governance - undeniably important for equity - also affect decisions on forest use and outcomes for conservation and subsistence? Are women's interests in forests...

Climate Change and Migration: Evidence from the Middle East and North Africa
ISBN: 9780821399712 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Climate change and migration are major concerns in the MENA region, yet the empirical evidence on the impact of climate change and extreme weather events on migration remains limited. Information is broadly lacking on how households in vulnerable areas perceive changes in the climate, how they are affected by extreme weather events, whether they benefit from community and government programmes to help them cope with and adapt to a changing climate, and how these conditions influence the decision of household members to migrate, either temporarily or permanently. This introductory chapter...

Empty Tank Empty Wallet: for those who don't own an oil well
ISBN: 9781484009505 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most of us don't own an oil well. We're on the "pay" side of our fossil fuel economy. It's expensive. If we live in a state that doesn't produce natural gas, oil, or coal, our burden is even greater, because none of the money spent stays home. Places that produce fuel are enjoying a bonanza. High prices make production profitable from reservoirs that were thought to have no commercial value. Texas, Alaska and North Dakota enjoy a stream of money coming from the rest of us who have no choice but to pay. But maybe there is choice. In fact, it's pretty clear there are better options than...

Assessing Low-Carbon Development in Nigeria: An Analysis of Four Sectors
ISBN: 9780821399736 / Angielski / Miękka / 422 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Federal Government of Nigeria has adopted Vision 20: 2020--an ambitious strategy to make Nigeria the world's 20th largest economy by 2020. In the absence of policies to accompany economic growth in key carbon-emitting sectors with a reduced carbon footprint, emission of greenhouse gases could more than double in the next two decades. To evaluate how to achieve the objectives of Vision 20: 2020 with reduced carbon emissions, the Federal Government of Nigeria and the World Bank undertook a multiyear program of analytical work. The summary results of this program are contained in a separate...

Restoring Communities Resettled After Dam Construction in Asia
ISBN: 9780415719100 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rapid economic expansion and population growth of developing countries in Asia has led to increasing demands for water and energy. To meet these demands, large dam development projects have been completed, which has inevitably caused involuntary resettlement. In order to support these projects, dam developers must find appropriate ways to ensure adequate livelihood reconstruction for resettled individuals. Resettlement causes both short-term and long-term effects (both positive and negative) for the relocated populations, meaning that in order to evaluate the larger impact of such...

Philosophy for a Green Economic Future
ISBN: 9781489538116 / Angielski / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book sets out the essential features of a new kind of philosophy, now beginning to take hold among younger generations, that will have a beneficial impact on the earth's natural and human environment. Philosophers usually stick to conceptual ideas without much attention to the messy details of worldly reality, ideas that are wonderful in themselves, but in need of confrontation with the actualities of natural and human history. In these pages, concern is directed especially to the values we hold toward our natural environment, and in particular toward the global problem of climatic...

Food Security and Sociopolitical Stability
ISBN: 9780199679362 / Angielski / Twarda / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Global food price spikes in 2008 and again in 2011 coincided with a surge of political unrest in low- and middle-income countries. Angry consumers took to the streets in scores of nations. In some places, food riots turned violent, pressuring governments and in a few cases contributed to their overthrow. Foreign investors sparked a new global land rush, adding a different set of pressures. With scientists cautioning that the world has entered a new era of steadily rising food prices, perhaps aggravated by climate change, the specter of widespread food insecurity and sociopolitical instability...

The majority of the poor and hungry people in the world live on small farms and struggle to subsist on too little land with low input - low yield technologies.

India's sustained and rapid economic growth offers an opportunity to lift millions out of poverty. But this may come at a steep cost to its environment and natural resources.

Environmental Economics: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780199583584 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this Very Short Introduction, Stephen Smith shows how the field of environmental economics looks at how economic activity and policy can affect the environment in which we live. The book discusses environmental issues including pollution control, reducing environmental damage, global climate change policies, questions about how we should balance environmental and economic considerations, and what form government policies should take.

Economic Growth and the Environment: An Introduction to the Theory
ISBN: 9780199663897 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Economic Growth and the Environment explores the debate on how to reconcile economic growth with protection of the natural environment, and the closely related discussion on whether an increasing scarcity of natural resources will eventually force economic growth to cease. The debate focuses on whether environmental policies will benefit the economy or not, and is divided into growth optimists and growth pessimists. In general, economists have been optimistic and have pointed to the possibilities of technological progress and substitution, yet they also acknowledge that natural resources and...
