This document summarizes different visions of environmental governance:
- The Market Liberal Vision embraces globalization and believes economic prosperity and a well-functioning market can improve the environment.
- The Institutionalist Vision also supports globalization but emphasizes strengthening the global environmental regime with international agreements, organizations, and enforcement.
- The Bio-Environmental Vision predicts future environmental doom due to human overpopulation and overconsumption, calling for population control and reduced resource use.
- The Social Green Vision proposes a steady-state economy and measures like localizing trade, empowering communities, and import substitution to increase sustainability and equality.

Here are two 300 word essays on environmental pollution:
Essay 1:
Pollution is damaging our planet in many ways. One of the major forms of pollution is air pollution. Air pollution comes from emissions released from factories, vehicles, and other sources that use fossil fuels. These emissions contain harmful gases and small particles that can have negative effects on both the environment and human health.
Some of the main air pollutants are carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter. When released into the atmosphere, these pollutants can cause problems like acid rain, global warming, and respiratory illnesses. Acid rain occurs when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water, oxygen,
Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is defined as balanced social, economic, and environmental development. The concept emerged in 1987 with the publication of the Brundtland Commission report. Achieving sustainable development requires changes in personal behaviors, consumption habits, and production processes. It also requires cooperation between individuals, companies, and governments. The document outlines six topics of sustainable development including sustainable places, climate change, people and nature, consumption and production, cultural identity, and sustainable transport.
This is the Elective Paper of S.Y.B.Ed. as per SNDT Women's University Syllabus.

The Big Oil Reality Check report finds that the climate pledges and plans of 8 international oil and gas companies fail to align with international agreements to phase out fossil fuels and to limit global temperature rise to 1.5ºC.
Publication May 2021
IEA publication, May 2024
Critical minerals, which are essential for a range of clean energy technologies, have risen up the policy agenda in recent years due to increasing demand, volatile price movements, supply chain bottlenecks and geopolitical concerns. The dynamic nature of the market necessitates greater transparency and reliable information to facilitate informed decision-making, as underscored by the request from Group of Seven (G7) ministers for the IEA to produce medium- and long-term outlooks for critical minerals.
The Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2024 follows the IEA’s inaugural review of the market last year. It provides a snapshot of industry developments in 2023 and early 2024 and offers medium- and long-term outlooks for the demand and supply of key energy transition minerals based on the latest technology and policy trends.
The report also assesses key risks to the reliability, sustainability and diversity of critical mineral supply chains and analyses the consequences for policy and industry stakeholders. It will be accompanied by an updated version of the Critical Minerals Data Explorer, an interactive online tool that allows users to explore the latest IEA projections.
Science Publication
Global projections of macroeconomic climate-change damages typically consider
impacts from average annual and national temperatures over long time horizons1–6
.
Here we use recent empirical fndings from more than 1,600 regions worldwide over
the past 40 years to project sub-national damages from temperature and precipitation,
including daily variability and extremes7,8
. Using an empirical approach that provides
a robust lower bound on the persistence of impacts on economic growth, we fnd that
the world economy is committed to an income reduction of 19% within the next
26 years independent of future emission choices (relative to a baseline without
climate impacts, likely range of 11–29% accounting for physical climate and empirical
uncertainty). These damages already outweigh the mitigation costs required to limit
global warming to 2 °C by sixfold over this near-term time frame and thereafter diverge
strongly dependent on emission choices. Committed damages arise predominantly
through changes in average temperature, but accounting for further climatic
components raises estimates by approximately 50% and leads to stronger regional
heterogeneity. Committed losses are projected for all regions except those at very
high latitudes, at which reductions in temperature variability bring benefts. The
largest losses are committed at lower latitudes in regions with lower cumulative
historical emissions and lower present-day income.
Science Publication: The atlas of unburnable oil for supply-side climate poli...Energy for One World
Nature Communication, Publication 2024
To limit the increase in global mean temperature to 1.5 °C, CO2 emissions must
be drastically reduced. Accordingly, approximately 97%, 81%, and 71% of
existing coal and conventional gas and oil resources, respectively, need to
remain unburned. This article develops an integrated spatial assessment
model based on estimates and locations of conventional oil resources and
socio-environmental criteria to construct a global atlas of unburnable oil. The
results show that biodiversity hotspots, richness centres of endemic species,
natural protected areas, urban areas, and the territories of Indigenous Peoples
in voluntary isolation coincide with 609 gigabarrels (Gbbl) of conventional oil
resources. Since 1524 Gbbl of conventional oil resources are required to be left
untapped in order to keep global warming under 1.5 °C, all of the above-
mentioned socio-environmentally sensitive areas can be kept entirely off-
limits to oil extraction. The model provides spatial guidelines to select
unburnable fossil fuels resources while enhancing collateral socio-
environmental benefits.
This document is a report from the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Development summarizing the current state of financing for sustainable development. It finds financing gaps have increased to $4 trillion annually for developing countries. Progress on reducing poverty and hunger has stalled or reversed in some cases. Many developing economies face high debt burdens, exacerbating financing challenges. The report calls for $500 billion in additional annual investments in sustainable development and climate action through measures like development bank reforms, debt relief for vulnerable countries, and international financial system reforms to better support developing countries in achieving the SDGs. It will help inform discussions at the upcoming Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development.
This report analyzes global trends in corporate sustainability policies and practices. It finds that nearly 10,000 listed companies representing $85 trillion in market capitalization disclosed sustainability information in 2022. Most large companies report greenhouse gas emissions and set reduction targets, though target baselines are often missing. The report also examines board oversight of sustainability issues, executive compensation linked to ESG metrics, corporate lobbying activities, and stakeholder engagement practices. It concludes by recommending flexibility in disclosure standards and increased assurance of sustainability reports.
European Court of Human Rights: Judgment Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and ...Energy for One World
The European Court of Human Rights found Switzerland in violation of its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights to protect citizens from climate change. The Court ruled that Article 8, the right to respect for private and family life, includes protection from serious adverse effects of climate change. However, it found the individual applicants did not have standing, while the applicant association representing over 2,000 older women did have standing. The Court also found Switzerland violated Article 6 by failing to properly consider the association's complaints in domestic courts. Overall, Switzerland failed to implement sufficient legislation and measures to meet its climate change targets in line with its international commitments.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Stockholm+50: Interfaith Statement 25 May 2022
1. Stockholm+50 Interfaith Statement
“Faith Values and Reach - Contribution to Environmental Policy”
“A point has been reached in history when we must shape our actions throughout the world with a
more prudent care for their environmental consequences. Through ignorance or indifference, we
can do massive and irreversible harm to the earthly environment on which our life and well-being
depend. Conversely, through fuller knowledge and wiser action, we can achieve for ourselves and
our posterity a better life in an environment more in keeping with human needs and hopes.”
(Excerpt from Preambular Paragraph 6 of the 1972 Stockholm Declaration)
Preamble
We, the representatives of various faith-based organizations, Indigenous cultures and wisdoms
from around the world participating in the Stockholm+50, committed to caring for ecological
justice and for protecting our one Earth, hereby make the following statement to the governments,
UN entities, civil society, and all stakeholders of the “Stockholm+50” processes.
Introduction
The world is facing a triple ‘pandemic’ of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. Those
hardest hit are those who have caused the least damage. We have less than three years for our
carbon emissions to start dropping from the peak, and yet emissions continue to rise. We have
already exceeded several thresholds critical to a stable and functioning planetary system, and we
are currently on a pathway to overshooting dangerous tipping points, with irreversible
consequences for all life.
Rainforests - the ‘lungs of earth’ – are ironically becoming a carbon emitter. Melting permafrost
is already releasing enormous quantities of methane. Devastating heat waves, floods, and
droughts impact many parts of the world. Climate-related disease outbreak and pest infestations
are decimating communities’ resilience. Across the globe, conflict and war are fueling increased
competition for fossil fuel extraction and exploration.
The root causes of the triple planetary crises are deeply fueled by structural greed and apathy
that underpin our current economic systems. Amassing of obscene wealth by corporations and
select individuals is directly related to global environmental problems and solutions, which is
morally and ethically unacceptable.
Without addressing these underlying causes, we are on a collision course to disaster.
Recognition
Inspired by the values and principles of our various belief systems including faith, values and
ethics, we recognise that:
1. Fossil fuel-based, extractive economies are accelerating climate change and loss of
biodiversity.
2. Poor and marginalized people, especially women, children, older persons, Indigenous
people and those with disabilities are most impacted by climate change;
3. We have abused nature and Indigenous peoples and have been complicit with colonial
extractive practices. We need to change our relationship and learn to co-exist in a
2. harmonious and symbiotic manner with earth and its ecosystems. The environment and
the human family are interdependent.
4. We humans have failed in our responsibility as ‘earth keepers’ to protect the planet.
5. We must challenge the values, such as individualism and greed shaping our patterns of
consumption and production.
6. We must rediscover the moral and spiritual roots of human beings, and rights and dignity
of all beings.
7. We must strive to move from human superiority to human humility, from ego-centric to
eco-centric and from being separate to nature, to interconnectedness.
8. We must urgently move from unbridled industrial growth to sustainable well-being.
Affirmation
We affirm that:
1. Faith and Indigenous leaders and actors have the potential to play an essential role in
shaping global environmental governance and policy making. The traditions that we
represent have unique capacities to convince, convene and contribute meaningful, moral,
economic, spiritual, and social substance to public deliberations.
2. More than 84% of people believe in a religion or a spiritual belief and religious leaders can
be found in every part of the world, from the most distant desert village to the densest
informal settlement. Faith-based Organizations (FBOs) bring reach and values to the
environmental movement.
3. FBOs are strong institutions and are actors of local development and have demonstrated
relevance to development around the world, for instance in health and education.
4. The 1972 Stockholm Declaration recognized and referred to the necessity of spiritual
growth of humans towards living in harmony with nature.
5. Women and girls in all their diversity are unequally impacted by climate change, but
should have equal opportunities, meaningful participation, leadership and influence in
climate solutions and access to climate finance;
6. All persons irrespective of their abilities, physical or otherwise, are recognised as equal,
and have a vital role to play to respond to climate challenges, and contribute to a better
tomorrow.
Call to action:
We therefore call governments, UN entities, civil society, as well as our own constituencies to act
on the following demands/action points:
1. Recognize the role of faith, ethics, spiritual and cultural values in environmental
governance through adopting a resolution to that effect by the United Nations
Environment Assembly and provide the required platform and programme for engaging
faith actors in policy dialogue;
2. Implement the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a key step
towards achieving sustainable development, poverty eradication, inclusivity and gender
equality, while respecting rights of nature.
3. Adopt a new development paradigm that integrates moral, spiritual and indigenous
shared values;
4. Move from a neoliberal and “anthropocentric” worldview to an interconnected worldview;
3. 5. Support a just transition from fossil-based extractive economy towards life-affirming
“economy of life” and sustainable living, as promoted by the faith communities;
6. Adopt and implement an Ecocide law* and promote the Faith for Ecocide Law initiative by
FBOs;
7. Ensure the human right to nutritious food and safe water and sanitation, including clean
air for all in a healthy environment;
8. Implement the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a key step
towards achieving sustainable development, poverty eradication, inclusivity and gender
equality;
9. Amplify the voice of women and girls in all their diversity as important stakeholders of
climate solutions and climate finance.
10. Raise awareness of concerns around carbon offset/nature-based solutions that can lead
to abuse of land and rural people.
We commit ourselves to:
11. Act and practice what we preach, and to become protectors of this earth, to strive to live
in harmony and sustainability, through our daily actions, how we invest, how we manage
assets, and how we engage with our faith communities;
12. Divest from fossil fuels and call for an immediate halt to new fossil fuel explorations and
to promote a responsible climate finance as a moral imperative in protecting the most
vulnerable from impacts of climate change;
13. Promote “refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle” in all public events, leading by example to
reduce pollution, especially plastic waste;
14. Amplify the prophetic voices of young people, older persons, women and Indigenous
people;
15. As faith leaders, representatives of faith-based organizations and faith communities, to
lead by example to reduce our carbon and water footprints for a healthy planet;
16. Strengthen the interconnectedness of relevant UN mandates such as the two new Human
Rights Council Resolutions on climate change and human rights.
