Описание: This book aims to cover the multitude of corporate approaches towards mainstreaming biodiversity conservation and ecological management in policies and action plans, and explores the roles of these efforts in achieving national and global targets for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Описание: The book aims to bring together studies using different data types (panel data, cross-sectional data and time series data) and different methods (e.g., panel regression, nonlinear time series, chaos approach, among others) and to create a source for those interested in these topics and methods by addressing some selected applied econometrics topics.
Описание: In the first volume, the author distinguishes between economic growth and sustainable economic development, and discusses China`s current and past economic policies towards growth.

Описание: These guidelines support a harmonized international approach to assessing the impacts of livestock on biodiversity. The livestock sector is a major user of natural resources (land in particular) and contributor to pollution (causing nutrient losses and increasing greenhouse gas emissions), which makes it a sector with a high impact on biodiversity.

Описание: Divided into three sections, this book explores the three main pillars of sustainable development, namely economy, environment and society, and their interlinkages at the regional level. The first section, Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) for sustainable development, focuses on international agreements and national legislation, as well as the challenges in implementing ABS in e.g. India. In turn, the second section examines the process of forming Biodiversity Management Committees (BMCs) at the Local Self Government (LSG) level to promote environmental sustainability, highlighting local and community-level conservation initiatives that have led to the conservation of habitats and species. The third section addresses poverty eradication and food security. The case studies included demonstrate how the combination of traditional knowledge and modern techniques can enhance the productivity of traditional crop varieties, yielding greater benefits for communities. The aim of this volume is to disseminate the lessons learned from these case studies, as well as the findings from projects already in place, which can offer recommendations that can be applied to similar problems elsewhere in an attempt to find environmental solutions for sustainable development. Further, it introduces readers to new approaches to inclusive development, demonstrating that participation and grass root empowerment are key drivers of equitable and sustainable development.
Описание: Corporate strategy differs from business strategy by the fact that the former aims at building a corporate advantage, while the latter a competitive advantage. Both are intertwined and are crafted not only to find an alignment with the environmental context and company's resources, but also with the ownership model. Two are the main groups of decisions that characterize corporate strategy: Where to invest or divest? How to manage the business portfolio? This book, rooted in academic research, the teaching experiences of the authors, and their direct understanding of the corporate world, consists of seventeen chapters, which allow readers to learn how to analyze and evaluate a corporate strategy; how to make and implement growth or divestiture decisions; how to manage M&A processes; how to design the organizational structure to translate a portfolio strategy into sound results; how to implement an effective corporate governance, and how to guide a strategic and organizational change. Written for students, managers, entrepreneurs, owners, board members, and advisors, this book provides concepts, methods and practices to make good corporate strategy decisions in firms of any size, whose boundaries can cross multiples industries and geographies.
Pollution Assessment for Sustainable Practices in Applied Sciences and Engineering provides an integrated reference for academics and professionals working on land, air, and water pollution. The protocols discussed and the extensive number of case studies help environmental engineers to quickly identify the correct process for projects under study.
The book is divided into four parts; each of the first three covers a separate environment: Geosphere, Atmosphere, and Hydrosphere. The first part covers ground assessment, contamination, geo-statistics, remote sensing, GIS, risk assessment and management, and environmental impact assessment. The second part covers atmospheric assessment topics, including the dynamics of contaminant transport, impacts of global warming, indoor and outdoor techniques and practice. The third part is dedicated to the hydrosphere including both the marine and fresh water environments. Finally, part four examines emerging issues in pollution assessment, from nanomaterials to artificial intelligence. There are a wide variety of case studies in the book to help bridge the gap between concept and practice.
Environmental Engineers will benefit from the integrated approach to pollution assessment across multiple spheres. Practicing engineers and students will also benefit from the case studies, which bring the practice side by side with fundamental concepts.

Описание: Policy making and implementation in natural resource management are often irrational, unpredictable and highly political. Understanding who influences policy at different levels, and how, is crucial to ensure that science is deployed most effectively to have an influence on conservation and natural resource management.
