Описание: This volume discusses the role and characteristics of Islamic finance and how it can contribute to a sustainable financial system. Islamic finance is not only for the 1.5 billion Muslims. Several countries are interested in it because it has interesting characteristics in terms of transparency and banking regulation. Although the origins of Islamic finance date back several centuries, its resurgence is relatively recent. From its modern beginnings in Egypt and Malaysia, Islamic finance is now a growing sector and its recent performance contrasts with that of conventional banks. Rapid growth and innovation are transforming the sector, driving economic development in an increasing number of jurisdictions, while also increasing the number of new opportunities and challenges. Today, with the problem of climate change and its adverse effects on the whole world, the flexibility of Islamic finance concerning the operations available to those who wish to finance the development of infrastructure, makes this area crucial for sustainable finance.

Название: Agriculture and Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities at the Global and Local Level - Collaboration on Climate-Smart Agriculture ISBN: 9251312818 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251312810 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 33270.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: This publication presents the achievements of the International Alliance on Climate-Smart Agriculture project, which include capacity development, training, information-sharing and several country studies. The project notably contributed to feasibility studies in Botswana, Ecuador and Ethiopia, as well as a case study on Italy that showcased conservation agriculture as a successful approach to overcoming soil fertility loss and erosion in 15 regions. The publication demonstrates how the project has laid the foundations for a strong knowledge community to support climate-smart agriculture (CSA) implementation across countries and regions, thereby contributing to international climate commitments and sustainable development in the field of agriculture and food security. The International Alliance on Climate-Smart Agriculture project was funded by the Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea of Italy (IMELS) and implemented by FAO, in order to advance knowledge-sharing, learning and partnership-building around the CSA approach and to create a Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture (GACSA).

Описание: This book offers a unique intersectional perspective on gender equality, SDG5. It presents an intersection of gender with caste, class, region, ethnic and sexual identities, and other structural drivers of inequalities in various development sectors. It presents case studies and empirical findings from development practice and policymaking and highlights the challenges to implementing SDG5 in practice. It discusses policies to promote gender equality and prevent violence against women and girls, and women in decision-making and leadership positions. The chapters reinstate that gender equality is possible only if unequal gender norms are transformed to recognize women and girls as independent economic entities and not merely homemakers providing unpaid care. It also analyzes to deconstruct the idea of monolithic masculinity to recognize gender diversity and men’s role in providing care. The book shows how much has been achieved, yet how far is also left to go. It is an essential reference point for researchers, policymakers, students, and scholars across gender studies, women’s studies, and sociology.

Energy Choices: Opportunities to Make Wise Decisions for a Sustainable Future focuses on steps that we can take as individuals to reduce fossil fuel emissions in our daily lives. Rapid advances in solar and wind energy, electrification of transportation, and energy storage are making the move to clean renewable energy quite feasible and even cheaper in the long run. We can help to stem the tide of climate change, end the air pollution that is inevitable when we burn fossil fuels, and halt the ongoing degradation of land and water caused by unrestrained extraction of fossil fuels. We are never more than a few years away from making a major personal energy decision: when we buy a car or a lawnmower, when the roof needs replacing, when the water heater stops heating water, when the furnace breaks down, or when we move. When we pay our utility bill, we might be able to buy energy generated by wind or solar.
Energy Choices is a guide to making these decisions: selecting your next electric vehicle, installing solar panels on your roof or signing up for community solar, replacing your water heater with a heatpump water heater, replacing your furnace with a heatpump, planning your new house. Whether you live in an apartment in an urban area, on a farm, or in a single-family house, Energy Choiceswill lead you through making the changes needed for a sustainable future.
Автор: Luciano Pettoello-Mantovani Название: Legal Framework and Issues Impacting the Business Environment Faced by Foreign Companies Investing in India: Challenges and Opportunities ISBN: 1536150916 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781536150919 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 84470.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This book deals with the complex and often challenging process for international companies in expanding their business through investing in the Indian emerging market. The process of globalization has allowed for the progressive fading of economic, commercial, and technological boundaries. This has resulted in Multinational firms or enterprises becoming increasingly referred to as key players in the world market over the course of the past fifty years. Inward Foreign Direct Investment flows have increased significantly, not only worldwide, but specifically towards newly-industrialized countries such as India. They are focused on trying to attract foreign investments, due to the lack of domestic savings, and thus as a stable means of foreign capital inflow. In addition to this, there are multiple, other positive effects on macroeconomic variables, such as productivity, production capacity, level of employment, factor prices, technological know-how, and overall economic growth. Corporations and firms, on the other hand, internationalize towards developing countries in an effort to seek and reap the multiple benefits found in these destination countries. Such benefits include reduced production costs, given by lower relative wages and country endowment of resources, as well as market expansion possibilities. The scope of their needs is determined by the type of strategy adopted, which can distinguish between market seeking, resource seeking, efficiency seeking and strategic investments. The Indian market offers relatively low-cost labor, an enormous pool of possible consumers and many other benefits. When time is taken to fully understand the characteristics of the country and its business culture one can extract the huge rewards. If on the other hand, investors make quick decisions and do not fully review all aspects which might create a risk, the investment may result in serious and substantial failures with large losses of capital. As in many developing countries, Indian laws and regulations are constantly evolving. These laws reflect the political compromise needed to balance the complex and conflicting demands of multiple constituencies. The result of this compromise is a high turnover of laws and regulations which, among other things, are passed through a trial and error basis. This entails that ineffective and inefficient laws may be passed and then substituted once they are tested as not working, having unintended consequences and being impracticable. The constant change and poor formulation leave, at times, room for interpretation especially by lower levels of government officials leading in turn to the possibility of corruptions. This, together with the inefficient judiciary, due not to its quality, but to the extensive time in court cases as well as non-streamlined and improperly implemented process and regulations, leads the investor to a perceive low protection and high risk throughout many phases of the investment. The book offers a useful overview for foreign enterprises on the complex, sometimes intricate process of investing in India, assisting them in gathering great opportunities through overtaking challenges.

It covers perspectives from regions both in and around Asia, as well as from Europe, the United States and Africa. In addition to this, the initiative is discussed through the lens of various disciplines such as geo-politics, marketing, currency, finance, leadership, negotiation, security and the digital component of the Silk Road. The resulting compilation provides for a thoroughly extensive and pluralistic examination of the BRI, lending the reader a peek into what the world may anticipate from China and this project in the years to come.
