Описание: Drawing on international, state and private sector case studies and a survey of sixty-nine members of the post-disaster relief sector, this book examines the interplay between law, governance and community-based collaborative decision making. It suggests the key to effective recovery is the primacy of local actors in relief program design.
The Contemporary complex world situation, when analyzed it reveals that great efforts are needed to improve the 'State of the World' involving Intellectuals, Scholars, researchers, Civil Societies, NGOs, Global Institutes of Research and Studies, and the Fourth Estate with the cooperation of National Governments. The Complexities involve problems relating to world peace and security, freedom, equality, environmental degradation, cyber-crimes, arms race and prevalence of weapons of mass destruction like nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, disarmament, wittingly or unwittingly unleashing of dangerous viruses like the present COVID-19 epidemic, the wide gap between haves and have-nots, poverty, hunger, issues of economic domination and suppression, gender inequality, communal conflicts, regional conflicts and civil wars which may escalate into the Third World War and many other issues.
Another issue of worry is that Global Institutions are proving to be wanting in their Structures and authorities to solve these problems effectively. That means two things are to be done: 1. Formulate a suitable UNIFIED GLOBAL AGENDA for redeeming the Planet Earth, and 2. Conceive a suitable WORLD DEMOCRATIC FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE and CONSTITUTION in which all the nations and their people's representatives should be involved in the formation of the World Parliament and the World Government to implement the Global Agenda.The nineteenth and twentieth centuries witnessed the revival of proposals for a world government fuelled by positive developments - such as technological progress in travel and communications that enabled rapid economic globalization and negative developments - such as the devastating impact of wars fought with modern technology.
Even great Statesmen and philosophers like Jawaharlal Nehru, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, Jan Tinbergen, Ban Ki-moon, John F. Kennedy, Mikhail Gorbachev, Pope Benedict XVI, Winston Churchill - all in one way or the other advocated the need for a World Government. Therefore, there is wisdom in suggesting the formation of a World Federal Government as one of the approaches to secure the Planet's future and Humanity as a whole. However, the formation of the World Federal Government never fructified. Therefore, it is obvious that there should be a 'unified global effort' to fructify the World Federal Government's idea and thereby redeem the Planet Earth from its Problems.
Based on the above line of thinking, a UNIFIED GLOBAL AGENDA is suggested. After reviewing the existing approaches for World Governance, a suitable STRUCTURE OF A FEDERAL DEMOCRATIC WORLD GOVERNMENT AND THE FEDERAL WORLD CONSTITUTION is presented in the Book to implement the Unified Global Agenda as its MANIFESTO. There is no involvement of Political Parties and Direct Elections at the Global Level in the formation of the World Parliament and the World Government.
Ecosystem effects from air pollution in the Adirondacks, Catskills, and elsewhere in New York have been substantial. Efforts to characterize and quantify these impacts, and to examine more recent recovery, have focused largely on surface waters, soils, and forests. Lakes, streams, and soils have acidified. Estuaries have become more eutrophic. Nutrient cycles have been disrupted. Mercury has bioaccumulated to toxic levels. Plant species composition has changed. Some surface waters show signs of partial chemical recovery in response to emissions control programs, but available data suggest that soil chemistry may continue to deteriorate under expected future emissions and deposition. Resource managers, policymakers, and scientists now need to know the extent to which current and projected future emissions reductions will lead to ecosystem recovery.In this book, Timothy J. Sullivan provides a comprehensive synthesis of past, current, and potential future conditions regarding atmospheric sulfur, nitrogen oxides, ammonium, and mercury deposition; surface water chemistry; soil chemistry; forests; and aquatic biota in New York, providing much needed information to help set emissions reduction goals, evaluate incremental improvements, conduct cost/benefit analyses, and prioritize research needs. He draws upon a wealth of research conducted over the past thirty years that has categorized, quantified, and advanced understanding of ecosystem processes related to atmospheric deposition of strong acids, nutrients, and mercury and associated ecosystem effects. An important component of this volume is the new interest in the management and mitigation of ecosystem damage from air pollution stress, which builds on the "critical loads" approach pioneered in Europe and now gaining interest in the United States.This book will inform scientists, resource managers, and policy analysts regarding the state of scientific knowledge on these complex topics and their policy relevance and will help to guide public policy assessment work in New York, the Northeast, and nationally.
Описание: Countering the conventional narrative that Florida’s tourism industry suffered during the Great Depression, this book shows that the 1930s were, in reality, the starting point for much that characterizes modern Florida’s tourism. David Nelson argues that state and federal government programs designed to reboot the economy during this decade are crucial to understanding the state today.Nelson examines the impact of three connected initiatives?the federal New Deal, its Civilian Conservation Corps program (CCC), and the CCC’s creation of the Florida Park Service. He reveals that the CCC designed state parks to reinforce the popular image of Florida as a tropical, exotic, and safe paradise. The CCC often removed native flora and fauna, introduced exotic species, and created artificial landscapes. Nelson discusses how Florida business leaders benefitted from federally-funded development and the ways residents and business owners rejected or supported the commercialization and shifting cultural identity of their state. A detailed look at a unique era in which the state government sponsored the tourism industry, helped commodify natural resources, and boosted mythical ideas of the “Real Florida” that endure today, this book makes the case that the creation of the Florida Park Service is the story of modern Florida.

Описание: The World Youth Report: Youth and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development , a biennial flagship report prepared by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, examines the mutually supportive roles of the new agenda and youth development efforts. This Report provides insight into the role of young people in sustainable development in the context of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and related frameworks, including the World Programme of Action for Youth (WPAY) and considers the role the 2030 Agenda can play in enhancing youth development efforts including how evidence-based youth policies can help accelerate youth-related objectives. The Report includes an annex with youth-related data at global and regional levels for SDG indicators as well as WPAY indicators.
