Описание: At the centre of Decolonising Intercultural Education is a simple yet fundamental question: is it possible to learn from the Other? This book argues that many recent efforts to theorise interculturality restrict themselves to a variety of interpretations within a Western framework of knowledge, which does not necessarily account for the epistemological diversity of the world.

Описание:
Climate change is a major challenge facing modern society. The chemistry of air and its influence on the climate system forms the main focus of this book.
Chemistry of the Climate System provides the reader with a physicochemical understanding of atmospheric processes. The chemical substances and reactions found in the Earth's atmosphere are presented along with their influence on the global climate system.
Описание: These guidelines outline the process for preparing a National Plan for Conservation and Sustainable Use of Farmers’ Varieties/Landraces, in support of national authorities seeking to develop a systematic approach to the management of these genetic resources. They focus on the common elements required to ensure a systematic, national approach to conservation and sustainable use of farmers’ varieties/landraces.
The cultivation of diverse farmers' varieties/landraces, which tend to be well-adapted and suited to local production systems, confers increased resilience for crop production. Unfortunately, many of these genetic resources have been replaced by modern cultivars in recent decades, resulting in a reduction in the number of varieties grown and/or loss of heterogeneity. Such losses make farming systems less resilient, especially to shocks from abiotic and biotic stresses.
These guidelines will contribute to addressing this continuing loss of diversity. They are a useful tool for development practitioners, researchers, students and policymakers who work on the conservation and sustainable use of these valuable resources.

Описание: Food is a central obsession in all cultures, the media, and society. Our future supply of food is filled with risk, and history tells us that lack of food leads to war. Julian Cribb describes a new food system capable of meeting our global needs on this hot and overcrowded planet.

Описание: The degradation of our life-enhancing planet Earth has resulted in climate change, desertification, wild fires, livestock mortality, microbial ecosystem alteration, floods, extreme weather conditions, economic meltdown, poverty, resource conflicts, disease, death, and desperate migration from the most vulnerable regions. Africa, the world`s hottest continent, has deserts and drylands that cover about 60 percent of its land surface area and remains the most vulnerable continent to climate change. At the same time, Africa is the world’s second most populous continent and is projected soon to be the most populous. Dr. Popoola’s work highlights the uniqueness of Africa and the extent of its vulnerability to global climate change as well as its advantages and limitations in context of current mitigation and adaptation strategies. Africa and Climate Change is an indispensable guide to ensuring global food security, sustainable livelihoods, and ecosystem survival, not only in Africa, but in other less vulnerable continents.
Описание: This study quantifies global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from aquaculture, and explains how cost-effectiveness analysis could be used to appraise GHG mitigation measures - thereby contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action), while supporting SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).
Описание: This book explores the nexus among food, energy and water in peri-urban areas, demonstrating how relevant this nexus is for environmental sustainability.
Описание: Climate change refers to a substantial change in temperature, precipitation, or wind lasting for a long period of time, usually several years. The consequences of climate change are an increase in global air and ocean temperature on average, widespread melting of snow and rising global average sea level. The Bay of Bengals afunnel shape combined with its connection with the rivers of Bangladesh creates a constant hazardous situation for five coastal areas of the country. The high frequency of natural disasters also hinders the countrys ability to achieve its desired rates of economic growth. Climate Change issues have traditionally broken into two basic categories: climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation. Climate change mitigation includes human interventions to reduce drivers of climate systems and climate change adaptation includes managing natural and human systems in response to variations in the climate and their effects. Efforts to mitigate climate change have focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) into the atmosphere which is a complex journey towards sustainabledevelopment. Mitigation strategies include adopting renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, biofuels, and the sustainable use of land and forests. This book argues green entrepreneurship is one of the most effective strategies for greenhouse gas emissions reduction. This book discusses the linkages between climate change mitigation and green entrepreneurship, describing the challenges and possibilities of adopting green entrepreneurship in Bangladesh.
