Описание: Governing Arctic Seas introduces the concept of ecopolitical regions, using in-depth analyses of the Bering Strait and Barents Sea Regions to demonstrate how integrating the natural sciences, social sciences and Indigenous knowledge can reveal patterns, trends and processes as the basis for informed decisionmaking. This book draws on international, interdisciplinary and inclusive (holistic) perspectives to analyze governance mechanisms, built infrastructure and their coupling to achieve sustainability in biophysical regions subject to shared authority. Governing Arctic Seas is the first volume in a series of books on Informed Decisionmaking for Sustainability that apply, train and refine science diplomacy to address transboundary issues at scales ranging from local to global. For nations and peoples as well as those dealing with global concerns, this holistic process operates across a ‘continuum of urgencies’ from security time scales (mitigating risks of political, economic and cultural instabilities that are immediate) to sustainability time scales (balancing economic prosperity, environmental protection and societal well-being across generations). Informed decisionmaking is the apex goal, starting with questions that generate data as stages of research, integrating decisionmaking institutions to employ evidence to reveal options (without advocacy) that contribute to informed decisions. The first volumes in the series focus on the Arctic, revealing legal, economic, environmental and societal lessons with accelerating knowledge co-production to achieve progress with sustainability in this globally-relevant region that is undergoing an environmental state change in the sea and on land. Across all volumes, there is triangulation to integrate research, education and leadership as well as science, technology and innovation to elaborate the theory, methods and skills of informed decisionmaking to build common interests for the benefit of all on Earth.

Описание: The realm of sustainable development focuses on the ability to meet the demands of the present, while not compromising the demands of the future. The knowledge of balancing sustainable development goals with high performance is essential. Even more essential is sharing the practices and accomplishments within sustainable development so that it may be spread throughout many organizations and societal functions.

The Handbook of Research on Novel Practices and Current Successes in Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals provides valuable insights, challenges, and practices to highlight the key determinants in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. This book presents a complex and thorough theoretical infrastructure concerning the Sustainable Development Goals, challenges and practices, as well as an important set of empirical results that will make a tremendous contribution to the analysis of the key determinants specific to the Sustainable Development Goals. Covering topics such as alternative consumption models, non-profit organizations, and sustainable communities, this is an essential text for academicians, scientists, researchers, students, PhD scholars, post-doctoral students, specialists, practitioners, governmental institutions, and policymakers worldwide.

Описание: Fisheries and aquaculture support the livelihoods of millions of people around the world. In rural and coastal communities they often play a key role in a society's culture and identity. Fish is also a healthy and nutritious food, with the potential to feed our growing planet. But as the population grows, the demand for fish rises, and our natural resources are increasingly stressed. Sustainable management and development is crucial to preserving these resources for future generations. FAO's Blue Growth Initiative emphasizes the three pillars of sustainable development – social, economic, and environmental – so that fisheries and aquaculture contribute to the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Описание: Long term asset owners and managers, while seeking high risk-adjusted returns and efficiently allocating scarce financial capital to the highest value economic activities, have the essential and formidable role of ensuring the sustainability of return. But generally accepted financial accounting methods are ill-equipped to provide clear signals of the risks and opportunities created by scarce natural and human capital. Hence many investment managers in global financial markets, while performing due diligence on portfolio companies, examine metrics of non-financial performance, especially environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators. Broken into three sections, this book outlines the rationale for and methods used in six areas where financial acumen has been harnessed to the goal of combining monetary return with long run sustainability. The first section offers an introduction to the role of finance in achieving sustainability, and includes an overview of the six areas—sustainable investing, impact investing, decentralized finance, conservation finance, and cleantech finance. The methods section of the book illustrates analytical tools and specialized data sources essential to those interested in increasing the level of social responsibility embedded in economic activity. The applications section describes and differentiates each of the six areas and their roles in advancing specific measures of sustainability.

Описание: In the face of climate change and socially responsible investment principles, the metrics for driving and managing sustainability will create major data and reporting challenges for most organisations.Water is the most precious of raw materials for industry. Its foot printing and accounting alone create challenges for science and business, with different methodologies used by different sources. Current methods of meeting this challenge appear to undermine water management, and they certainly don't help from an investment management perspective.There are potentially huge data volumes from different sources in the world, in different formats. Measures are taken at different cycles/ frequencies, and models used are likely based on different assumptions. So the data management challenge is not light, nor is it simple to recycle that data back in an intelligent manner to policymakers and to the businesses concerned with water management and water risk management. This problem is compounded by the uncertainties in the models used for climate change, and the impact that some predictions of climate change will have on water.This book will be about these issues, and will pull together work being carried out by academia and business to address the challenges, highlighting promising developments. Water, Climate Change and Sustainability will address the needs of, and trends facing, several industry sectors, with a regular reference to the finance sector
