This document discusses global warming and the attitudes of elites in Latin America, specifically Chile, toward addressing climate change. It finds that while Chilean elites acknowledge climate change is real and a serious issue, they are unwilling to implement radical measures to transition to a green economy due to prioritizing economic growth. The document argues elites' rhetoric on climate change will only turn into real action if pressured by factors like increasing climate impacts, international agreements, changes in governance, and public opinion demanding sustainability. Survey data shows Chileans and Latin Americans widely believe humans cause global warming but elites remain reluctant to strongly reduce fossil fuel use.

Global crises and economic implications
The document summarizes a lecture on understanding the global crises and their implications for economics. It outlines the impacts of the crises such as malnutrition, food riots, and child poverty. It examines various views on the causes including instrumental, structural, moral, and ontological perspectives. It discusses economic theories from mainstream and heterodox schools. It argues responses have missed elements like complexity, learning, and transitions. The conclusions call for a more inclusive economic-ecological theory that accounts for physical limits and innovation within complex, dynamic relationships between nature and humans.

The economics of sustainability
This is a group work carried out in the field of economics of sustainability. It looked at hidden cost and externalities. Also tried to appraise the emergence of carbon economics and carbon tax systems.
Environment and society
This document discusses the need for a more sustainable world without poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation. It notes that the current path of economic growth and resource use is unsustainable and will not achieve this goal. Dramatic action is needed to build a new global society and transition to a sustainable development model that respects planetary boundaries and balances economic, social and environmental factors. Both mitigation and adaptation actions are required to address climate change and biodiversity loss.
Environment and development(1)
The document discusses the relationship between environment and development. It defines development as improving people's lives and the environment as where we live. The two are inseparable. It then examines different dimensions of development including economic, human, and sustainable development. It analyzes how economic development impacts the environment through externalities and may follow an environmental Kuznets curve. The document also discusses how environmental degradation affects human well-being through impacts on health, livelihoods, security, and social relations. It analyzes the key drivers of environmental change like population, economic growth, and technologies and ways to curtail them like economic and non-economic instruments.
Cc
While climate change is established scientifically, skepticism remains due to economic concerns and intentional efforts to discredit climate scientists. Economic issues are the primary reason for skepticism as transitioning away from fossil fuels could harm industries and livelihoods. Governments and groups intentionally aim to undermine the credibility of climate science and the IPCC to protect economic interests reliant on fossil fuels. As long as fossil fuels remain more economically viable than alternatives, it will be difficult to convince skeptics without a public consensus on the reality and impacts of climate change.
Economics, Environment, and Sustainability
The document discusses economic systems and sustainability. It describes different types of economic systems like free market systems and how governments intervene. It also discusses strategies to shift economies to be more environmentally sustainable, such as full-cost pricing and reducing poverty. Monitoring economic and environmental progress through new indicators is also covered.
Extended Essay on Sustainable Development
This document discusses the problems that policymakers in developing countries face when committing to sustainable development. It outlines that sustainable development has no clear definition and leaves actors unclear on key issues. Policymakers are left with dilemmas around issues like sustainability without growth, imposing sustainability requirements, and defining and preserving natural resources. The document suggests policymakers address sustainability through environmental policy, growth and redistribution, and social equity to achieve social, ecological and economic sustainability.

What purpose do the economy, energy, or environment serve?
Address to the Pune International Centre Conference on:
Energy, Environment and Economic Growth: Emerging Challenges on 22-23 January 2021
Are we addicted to the economy? Have we forgotten it is the environment that gives life, not the economy? Do we recognize that energy, green or otherwise, will not protect the planet, or create reverence for the sacred, or care and respect for the community of life?
29. Climate Change: Climate Justice
We examine climate justice as the explicit framing of climate change as an ethical and political issue. We first look at justice broadly, then environmental justice, and then climate justice. We conclude with a question about justice as degrowth or green growth.
Sustainable Development concept
“Sustainable Development” (SD) is an expression frequently used by ecologists,
media and politicians, but it does not always carry the same concise meaning. The EEA
(1998) stated in 1998 that over 300 definitions of SD had been given, many of them inappropriate, as the outcome of different visions, values scales, interests and
ideologies. In this way, SD becomes a non-operative ‘chewing gum concept’ that
everybody can adapt in his own convenience (Bermejo, 2005, p.24)
The Brundtland Report (1987) states the most widely accepted definition of SD as
“the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs”. The worldwide commitment on the
acceptance of this definition constitutes a milestone in itself.
30. Climate Change: The Big Picture
We do a grand review - the greatest hits - of the lessons learned and the ground covered during this course.
Environmental implications of Kuznet curve
The document discusses the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. It begins by providing background on how environmental issues came to be more widely debated in the 1980s. This led to a shift from focusing on natural resource availability to the environment's ability to absorb waste. The Brundtland Report in 1987 embraced economic growth as a way to reduce poverty and environmental degradation. The relationship between economic growth and the environment then came under increased scrutiny. In the 1990s, the empirical literature on this link "exploded" as many studies tested the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. This hypothesis proposes that various indicators of environmental degradation initially increase with economic growth but then improve after a certain income threshold is reached, similar to Kuznets' original curve

28. Climate Change: Ethics and Collective Action Problems
We explore climate ethics through the lens of collective action problems. We discuss Garret Hardin's "The Tragedy of the Commons" and two critiques of that seminal essay. We then wrap up by looking at Project Drawdown.
Alternate livelihood income plan for vulnerability reduction through communit...
The occurrence of natural disasters is currently one of the major developmental challenges that the world is facing. The Society for National Integration through Rural Development (SNIRD), an NGO working with the fisherfolk communities in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, has long been working towards reducing community vulnerability and strengthening coping mechanisms. As there were no preparedness measures among the communities, the impact of the disaster was worsened, often destroying their livelihood support mechanisms. Hence SNIRD initiated a project to organize the community and imparted trainings towards disaster coping mechanisms. The project followed a community-based strategy, making use of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) techniques by involving the community. This paper deals with the techniques of vulnerability assessment by involving the community and in preparing alternate livelihood income plan towards disaster preparedness and management. The project was evaluated using an amended version of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) and found that the project was able to sufficiently increase their alternative livelihood mechanisms and therewith comprehensively and sustainable decrease community vulnerability to natural disasters.
The Sustainable Development Framework
The document discusses frameworks for sustainable development. It addresses economic, social, environmental, and governance issues. Specifically, it examines three areas of focus: natural resource governance, urbanization and urban governance, and environmental governance. It emphasizes that democratic governance with inclusive institutions is indispensable for sustainable development by allowing for debate, accommodation of conflicting interests, and social consensus building. Key elements discussed include programmatic politics, evidence-based policymaking, and commitment to human development outcomes.
Revaluing Ecosystems: Visions of a better future
The "Future of Revaluing Ecosystems" meeting brought together 28 experts to explore ways to better measure and manage the world's natural capital and its contributions to human well-being. Key discussions focused on future trends that will influence ecosystem valuation like rising consumption, climate change, and data availability. Scenarios of different trends in 2025 were explored, such as greater ecosystem shocks triggering demand for more sustainable supply chains. Participants also discussed solutions like financial instruments for ecosystem restoration and new ratings agencies to direct capital to ecosystem management. The overall goal was to change perspectives on nature from something sacrificed for development to something that underpins development.
Ecological Economics !101Pres
The document is an agenda for a presentation on estimating the value of natural resources. It will include an overview of ecological economics, the global ecological footprint, methods for estimating ecosystem value, and an group activity to evaluate estimation methods with an example. It also discusses definitions and perceptions of sustainability, challenges related to population growth and resource use, and objectives of ecological economics around sustainable scale, efficient allocation, and just distribution.

Mitigation Of What And By What Presentationfinal
This document summarizes and critiques current global efforts to address climate change through mitigation and adaptation policies and financing. It finds that approaches have focused more on large-scale actions and economic transfers between countries than micro-level impacts and social dimensions of climate change. Efforts have also prioritized mitigation over adaptation and favored large projects over small-scale and community-based approaches. As a result, the most vulnerable populations have had limited inclusion in policy frameworks and access to climate financing. The document calls for a more socially inclusive and people-centered conceptual framework to achieve a reasonable balance of equity in the global response to climate change.
The State of Climate Change 2014
On Sunday, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the second part in a major scientific assessment of climate change. The Report found that the effects of climate change are already visible from the tops of the highest mountains to the deep sea, and that society needs to prepare for a wide range of climate change-related threats during the next few decades.
Limits to growth and abundance
The document summarizes a discussion from a Stockholm futurists meetup about the concepts of "abundance" and "limits to growth". It outlines Peter Diamandis' view of an abundant future driven by exponential technology versus Paul Gilding's argument for "The Great Disruption" due to planetary limits. The two perspectives map to Jim Dator's "continuation" and "collapse" generic futures. The discussion explores which view to trust given different scientists' assumptions, how values may shift from growth to sufficiency, and whether new technologies appear cool or creepy.

THEORIES AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges that the world faces today. From everrising temperatures to natural catastrophes, climate change is not just limited to a single region or country but has become a phenomenon that has been affecting everyone in the world. It leads the issue to become one of the top complex global policy dilemmas. The impact of global warming and climate change are yet to be fully understood and observed, but the most adverse effects would be witnessed by the generations to come. Scientists working in different fields tend to accuse the gradual increase in temperature, the intensity of natural disasters and their strong impact on climate change (Field et al. 2012). It is not limited to domestic issue; for instance, if any country operationalizes an industrial process that affect the climate, it will have repercussions across the world. Therefore, climate change is undoubtedly a crucial international problem in the context of international relations and must be addressed in urgency. Although scientists and global thinkers attribute this problem to the highly industrialized countries while the lower class of the society will be most affected by its consequential impacts, the states including the developed ones hardly pay serious attention in resolving this international problem.
Unit 7. Indicators of sustainable development
The document discusses indicators of development and sustainability. It introduces indicators and their use in measuring development objectives and progress. Key criteria for good indicators are outlined, including their relevance, ability to summarize information, precision, and reliability. Sustainable development is defined as balancing near-term and future interests, including a safe environment for future generations. Twelve development priorities for Aruba are listed covering areas like education, culture, economy, environment and governance. The activity asks students to form groups, choose one development priority, and formulate two indicators to measure progress toward that objective.
Organisational Sustainability
The purpose of the Organisational Sustainability slide show is to present a way organisations, both private and public sector, can :
a) Improve theirs and others sustainability, and in doing so also
b) Show how their progress can be measured in economic, community, and environmental terms .
Empowering women to be the ambassadors of climate
This document discusses empowering women in Sri Lanka as ambassadors for climate change. It notes that women in Sri Lanka have been vulnerable to unemployment and low-paying jobs. Their participation in the labor force is much lower than men's at 35% compared to 75%. As many women work in agriculture and rely on natural resources, they are highly impacted by climate change. Empowering women and increasing their involvement in climate change adaptation and mitigation can help achieve development goals. The document recommends introducing organic farming, alternative livelihoods, and participatory natural resource management to benefit women and build climate resilience.
Guercio sustainability and economic degrowth
1. The document discusses the need to move away from unlimited economic growth models and towards more sustainable models of development with decreased consumption. Continued economic growth is putting unsustainable stress on the planet's ecosystems.
2. It argues that economic degrowth, involving reduced consumption and working hours, is necessary to stabilize the climate and prevent irreparable environmental damage. Emerging economies need to promote more sustainable economic models to serve as an example for other countries.
3. Public policies are needed to incentivize more sustainable behaviors around housing, transportation, food, and consumption. Taxing unsustainable goods and services can encourage changes to new social standards based on planetary boundaries and perennial values.
"Climate Crunch" : Scenarios for the global economic environment
"Climate Crunch" : Scenarios for the global economic environment.
The recently published Global Risks 2014 report of the World Economic Forum identifies environmental risks as highest in terms of impact and likelihood. Those risks include both natural disasters, such as earthquakes and geomagnetic storms, and man-made risks such as
collapsing ecosystems, freshwater shortages, nuclear accidents and failure to mitigate or adapt to climate change. Failure of climate change mitigation and
adaptation is the fifth top risk concern according to
multi-stakeholders communities (see figure beside).
Climate change is evidence proven and this paper doesn’t intend to explore the causes. However, one can state that climate change is a systemic problem – it is one that touches all the others. As such by its systemic nature, it can cause breakdowns of entire systems and not only a component part. (

Redefining Sustainable and Responsible Investing
The next global economy is emerging in a new world full of unprecedented technologies, new ideas about resources and capital, and new approaches to business. Crucially, we are also being confronted with environmental and economic challenges never before imagined. The ‘next economy’ or ‘green economy’ approach to investment management asserts that the basics of the global economy are evolving in tandem with these changes and that methods of investment management must evolve with them. Green Alpha Advisors contemplates a future economy in which the next generation of asset management must be integral to and reflective of that next economy which both functions to support the integrity of earth’s systems and also can function within earth’s tolerances and finite resource base.
To appropriately invest in this emerging, green economy, one must appreciate that the next economy is by definition not the legacy economy of previous generations, and that it therefore requires a new understanding, new definitions and a new set of rules. To some degree, this requires redefining the parameters of modern portfolio theory to reflect this new world with its technologies and challenges. This in turn requires new economic models, new portfolio construction methods, and new sector classification schemes. Green Alpha Advisors approach to all three is presented here in brief.
What Next For Climate Change & International Development
The document discusses the challenges of addressing climate change through international development efforts. It notes disagreements around the causes and impacts of climate change, as well as difficulties integrating climate change and sustainability concerns with economic growth models. It argues for more multidisciplinary, systems-level approaches that consider environmental, social, economic and political dimensions simultaneously. A key question is how to structure policies and financing to promote mitigation and adaptation in a way that addresses poverty and inequality.
Managing In The Global Environment
This document provides an overview of the global business environment and key concepts related to globalization. It discusses the meaning and driving forces of globalization, dimensions of globalization including stages of globalization. It also introduces theories of international trade such as absolute advantage theory, comparative cost advantage theory, and factor endowment theory. Additionally, it covers the trading environment of international trade, including tariff and non-tariff barriers, trade blocs, and the rise of new economies. The document aims to explain globalization and its impact on the global business environment.
[Final] Act Globally
1. Regional climate change impact assessments are needed to bridge global climate assessments and local decision-making on adapting to climate change. Assessments should be designed and carried out within each region to be culturally appropriate.
2. Knowledge action networks are proposed to link regional assessments with global science and policy communities to support local adaptation initiatives. Modern information techniques can ensure communication across global, regional, and local levels.
3. A new institutional framework is needed to support regional assessments and knowledge action networks through funding, capacity building, and provision of data, models and other resources, starting initially with a focus on regional assessments of water resources.
Sustainability - Draft
Mono-cropping is endangering genetic diversity while a small number of plants now supply most of humanity's food. Water shortages are a growing problem, with over 3 billion people projected to lack adequate drinking water by 2035. Non-renewable resources like metals are being depleted, which could impact technologies. The paradigm is shifting from viewing nature as unlimited to recognizing natural resources as limiting, requiring more sustainable approaches.

Making Geography relevant in the Caribbean.docx
This document discusses four challenges for geography teachers: 1) Encouraging students to question dominant views of human well-being and economic growth, and consider alternative measures like the Happy Planet Index; 2) Ensuring climate change is taught in a way that leads to action, not just understanding science; 3) Helping students understand the implications of peak oil and the need to transition to renewable energy; 4) Preparing students to facilitate major societal transitions to sustainability in response to climate change and resource constraints.

Limits to growth
Slides of talk presented at various forums on occasion of the 40th anniversary of the launching of Limits to Growth, the first report to the Club of Rome published in 1972. This book was one of the earliest scholarly works to recognize that the world was fast approaching its sustainable limits. Forty years later, the planet continues to face many of the same economic, social, and environmental challenges as when the book was first published.

Scp And Local Action
This document discusses the importance of linking local action to policy work on sustainable consumption and production (SCP). It argues that local action can help deliver strong policy, effective infrastructure, and high levels of engagement, which are all needed to drive lasting change towards SCP. Local initiatives can test innovative solutions, engage more people, and provide evidence to inform national policymaking. While challenges remain, local action delivers practical improvements, engages individuals, and supports achieving national SCP targets.

World Economic and Social Survey 2011: The Great Green Technological Transfor...Development Policy and Analysis Division (DPAD)
Enormous improvements in human welfare have taken place over the past two centuries, but these have been unevenly distributed and have come at a lasting cost of degradation of our natural environment. At the same time, we cannot stop the engines of growth, because much more economic progress is still needed in order for people in developing countries to have a decent living. But using the traditional environmentally irresponsible development paths is no longer defensible. To meet both the objectives of conquering poverty and protecting the environment, the World Economic and Social Survey 2011 calls for a complete transformation of technology on which human economic activity is based.
The "great green technological transformation" that the Survey champions will have to be completed in the next 30 to 40 years, that is, twice as fast as it took to accomplish previous major technological transitions. Because of the limited time frame, Governments will need to play a much more active and stimulating role to accelerate the green energy transformation. The Survey details new policy directions and major investments in developing and scaling up clean energy technologies, sustainable farming and forestry techniques, climate proofing of infrastructure and reducing non-bio-degradable waste production.

World Economic and Social Survey 2011: The Great Green Technological Transfor...Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA)
The report states that a major technological overhaul of production processes is required worldwide to end poverty and avert the likely catastrophic impacts of climate change and environmental degradation. It also asserts that over the next 40 years, $1.9 trillion per year will be needed for incremental investments in green technologies. At least $1.1 trillion per year of required investments are needed in developing countries to meet their rapidly increasing food and energy demand.Green Technological Transformation
The document discusses the need for a "green technological transformation" to achieve sustainable development goals. It notes that continuing on previous economic growth pathways will further stress the environment. A radical shift is needed to develop more efficient, low-carbon technologies in areas like energy generation, transportation, agriculture, and forestry to decouple growth from resource use and pollution. This "green economy" has the potential to ensure environmental protection while still meeting development needs, but will require major public and private investments in research and development of new green technologies.
Addressing the Crisis in Employment and Consumer Demand - Ashford
While concerns about poverty and earning capacity were raised now and then, it was only after the 2008 financial crisis that employment and the earning capacity of people were catapulted into the center stage of political discourse. Part of this discourse has focused on the relationship between employment and consumption, where the tension between providing jobs and decreasing the environmental footprint of industrialized and industrializing states was acknowledged. This relationship has historically focused on increasing production and consumption with insufficient or little regard to their effects on the environment, and energy and resource limits.

The document discusses civil society concerns regarding the upcoming United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012. It notes that civil society actors have criticized the conference's focus on a "Green Economy" approach and the lack of consideration for human rights and equity in the draft outcome document. It also summarizes civil society preparations for the conference, including regional meetings organized by Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung and protests and forums planned alongside the official proceedings, as civil society seeks to have its voice heard on addressing the structural causes of environmental and economic crises.

The document discusses civil society concerns regarding the upcoming UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012. Some key points:
1) Civil society actors fear the conference focus on a "Green Economy" approach will fail to address the structural causes of crises and lead to "greenwashing" of capitalist systems.
2) They are also concerned about the lack of consideration for human rights and equity principles in the draft conference document.
3) In preparation for Rio+20, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung hosted five regional conferences with civil society participants from 47 countries to formulate positions.
4) Several civil society events will be held
