Book Description
Difícilmente pueden entenderse muchos de los impactos que infringimos al medio ambiente, así como sus soluciones, sin comprender la relación entre economía y medio ambiente. Cómo usamos y cómo podríamos utilizar mejor los recursos, sean estos renovables o no renovables.En cuánto valoramos las personas la protección de determinados espacios naturales o hasta cuánto estamos dispuestos a invertir para gozar de agua de mejor calidad. Cuándo vale la pena construir una carretera a pesar de sus impactos ambientales o cuándo renunciar a ella. Qué consecuencias tiene el que unos países adopten leyes ambientales más estrictas y otros más laxas. En cuánto deberíamos penalizar a aquellas industrias que dañan nuestro entorno. Cómo podemos lograr que se emitan menos gases de efecto invernadero en todo el mundo sin que nos cueste demasiado. Estas son algunas cuestiones que nos pueden preocupar y a las que este manual de economía ambiental y de los recursos naturales puede ayudar a dar respuesta. Los autores, todos ellos doctores de economía y profesores de universidad especialistas en economía del medio ambiente, han trasladado a este libro su experiencia docente y de investigación para que los lectores puedan introducirse a la economía ambiental y de los recursos naturales sin requerir de conocimientos específi cos previos. El libro se dirige no sólo a economistas o estudiantes de economía interesados en el medio ambiente, sino también, y especialmente, a otros estudiantes, profesionales y personas con preocupación ambiental y deseo de conocer lo que la economía puede aportar.

Ecological Dimensions for Sustainable Socio Economic Development
Author: A. Yáñez-Arancibia
Publisher: WIT Press
ISBN: 1845647564
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 629
Book Description
This book fills a gap in the literature on environmental sustainability by addressing the topic from the perspective of social and economic development. Progress in understanding and achieving sustainability requires the integration of scientific, social, economic, and legal issues. Yet progress in understanding and achieving sustainability will only be achieved through integration of scientific, social, economic, and legal aspects. A treatise on environmental sustainability should raise the current state of knowledge by proposing and recommending decision-making efforts and breaking new ground with agendas aimed for the younger generation. These younger scientists will be confronted with future uncertainty related to the set of crises that characterise the 21st Century (e.g. ecological, social, food, energy, environmental, climatic, financial, etc.). Currently, there are a number of indicators that demonstrate that ecological conditions are being compromised globally. These include reduced primary productivity, reduction in biological complexity, spreading pollution such as eutrophication, ecological degradation in any continental/basin/coastal/sea ecosystem, reduction in biodiversity, lowered resilience and slow recovery of damaged ecosystems, and reduced ecological integrity. All of these problems are related to social and economic pressure. The challenge for most ecological systems is not only to establish the baseline for current ecosystem conditions, but also to explore options for recovery and sustainability. The latter involves ecological restoration where ecosystem and environmental services are maintained and enhanced. These services are essential to social integration and economic development. This book not only introduces a theoretical and conceptual framework for the topic, but also analyses the uncertainty for sustainability because of dwindling natural resources. It includes contributions providing a basis for public policies, case studies integrating concepts and tools for solutions, and a set of position papers addressing new agenda topics that will shape the 21st century. The book will be useful for researchers, professors and students alike, as well as for all stakeholders from social, economic and academic sectors.

Ecological Crisis and Water Supply
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004679634
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This book analyses the origin and evolution of the water supply service in Andalusia (southern Spain) between 1800 and 2020 from several perspectives. It does so from a historical perspective, to understand the evolution of the service over the years; from an economic perspective, as it is very useful to obtain an overview of the level of efficiency of the service; from a legislative perspective, as the regulatory framework of each era determines the models of management and provision of the service; and, finally, from an ecological and environmental perspective, of great importance in the New Water Culture and the protection of this resource. The volume's main objective is to contribute to the extension of knowledge and analysis of the processes of municipalisation and/or privatisation of this service in Andalusia, with the aim of providing those responsible for local governments and administrations, both political and technical, with useful reflection and illustrative information on the use of municipalisation and/or privatisation as instruments for the reform of the local public sector. Contributors are: María Ana Bernardo, Ana Cardoso de Matos, José Escalante Jiménez, Antonio Rafael Fernández-Paradas, Mercedes Fernández-Paradas, Leticia Gallego Valero, Víctor Manuel Heredia-Flores, Carlos Larrinaga, Nuria Magaldi, Alberte Martínez-López, Juan Manuel Matés-Barco, Jesús Mirás Araujo, Encarnación Moral Pajares, Jesús Raúl Navarro García, Nuria Rodríguez Martín, and María Vázquez-Fariñas.

Post-Fire Management and Restoration of Southern European Forests
Author: Francisco Moreira
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400722087
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
In spite of all the efforts made in fire prevention and suppression, every year about 45 000 forest fires occur in Europe, burning ca. 0.5 million hectares of forests and other rural lands. The management of these burned forests has been given much less attention than fire prevention or fire suppression issues, but the post-fire management of burned areas raises strong concerns (economic and social impacts, soil erosion and water quality, biodiversity loss, forest restoration). Although there are a few publications which address post-fire management, the focus of these has been either on general approaches to restoration or specific topics such as preventing post-fire soil erosion. This book is about the post-fire management of fire-prone forest types in southern Europe. It provides the first comprehensive overview of the topic, ranging from stand-level to landscape-level management, and from emergency actions to long-term restoration approaches.
