This document discusses environmental issues and the green economy in Tennessee and Knoxville. It notes that manufacturing jobs in the US declined from 28% in the 1950s to 8.9% in 2011, which impacted wages and the Tennessee economy. It also outlines various environmental problems, including polluted rivers and air. Specifically in Knoxville, the Tennessee River is highly polluted and it has poor air quality. However, Knoxville also has the 2nd highest percentage of green jobs and fastest growing green jobs sector. The document advocates for coordinated planning between government, education, businesses and communities to promote green economic growth and help address environmental challenges.

This document discusses taking a spatial approach to analyze rising complexity from issues like population growth, urbanization, climate change, and aging in the global south. It argues that spatial modeling of scenarios can help test intervention options and enhance knowledge sharing. Key challenges covered include rapid urbanization, coastal flooding risks, health impacts of population aging, and developing spatial literacy for 21st century problems. The conclusion advocates that spatial science can help simulate, visualize, and connect analyses of vulnerabilities across interconnected human and environmental systems.

Urban Political Ecology

environmentalconflicts

1. The document discusses the urbanization of nature and its historical development from the 19th century ideas of Marx and Engels to the present. 2. It analyzes the concepts of urban sustainability, environmental injustice, and urban political ecology. Urban political ecology views urbanization as producing socio-environmental inequalities through the commodification and control of nature. 3. The document argues that current approaches have reached an impasse and calls for re-politicizing urban political ecology by making equality and democracy the foundation for eco-political demands aimed at more just and sustainable urban environments.

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, EQUITY & RACISM

koketso Kanekane

1) The document discusses environmental justice, equity, and racism. It explores how environmental problems disproportionately impact vulnerable groups, such as minorities and low-income communities, who face greater health risks and limited participation in decision making. 2) Environmental justice aims for fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or income in developing and enforcing environmental laws and policies. It seeks to address adverse health impacts and environmental burdens on marginalized populations. 3) The case study of the North River Sewage Treatment Plant in West Harlem, New York highlights issues of odor and health problems faced by the predominantly minority and low-income neighborhood from the plant. Community groups advocated to address the problems.

Green Sustainability Plans: an introduction to their international sucess

Elizabeth Baker

The document discusses environmental justice and examples of environmental injustices. It provides two case studies, the first being a toxic waste landfill in Kettleman City that negatively impacted the predominantly Latino population's health. The second case study describes an economic zone in the Philippines that displaced communities and damaged the environment and people's livelihoods and health. The document then outlines the history of the environmental justice movement in the United States and various emerging themes such as climate, indigenous, energy, and food justice. It concludes by listing Philippine agencies and organizations working on environmental issues.

Environment Vs development

Tesfay Gebreigziabher Emnetu Raya University,

The document discusses the relationship between the environment and sustainable economic development. It defines environment and explains how it is interdependent with development. Sustainable development is defined as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. While economic growth benefits standards of living, it has also degraded ecosystems. Maintaining balance requires policy interventions like promoting cleaner technologies, efficient resource use, and international cooperation. Development and environment impact each other, so sustainable development is needed.

Poverty and the environment

BrittanyMichaud

There is a known correlation between poverty and environmental degradation internationally. Poor families in developing countries often disregard the environment in order to focus on survival, and poverty-stricken nations do not prioritize environmental conservation due to other social problems. In Tajikistan, over 50% of the population lives below the poverty line, and the country suffers from issues like unsustainable agriculture, lack of energy, and frequent natural disasters. International organizations are working to address the environmental and poverty issues in Tajikistan and other nations through initiatives, but more funding is still needed to fully solve the problems.

Just Green Enough: Contesting Environmental Gentrification

Park Pride

Presentation from Park Pride's 2015 Parks and Greenspace Conference. The presenter is Winifred Curran. As cities strive to make their urban landscapes greener, environmental gentrification is a growing concern. Improvements like parks and bike paths raise surrounding property values and housing costs, which often result in the displacement of working class residents. Learn how sustainable development can provide communities with alternative ways of thinking about economic development, resource use, and social justice.

Deforestation and Poverty

Ashish Jaiswal

India has experienced significant deforestation over the past few decades, reducing its forest coverage from 14.8 billion acres to 8.6 billion acres. Deforestation is primarily driven by activities like agriculture, wood harvesting, mining, and infrastructure development to support population growth. This has led to negative environmental consequences such as loss of biodiversity, increased carbon emissions, water cycle disruption, and soil erosion. Many of these activities are a result of poverty in rural areas, demonstrating the need to address poverty as part of the solution to reduce deforestation rates.

Sustainable housing developement

Parham Farhadpoor

This document summarizes an individual assignment on awareness of implementing sustainable housing development. It begins by defining sustainable development and noting that awareness of issues is important for considering environmental, social, and economic impacts. It then discusses that lack of awareness is a major barrier, as many stakeholders and developers do not understand sustainable housing benefits. This lack of awareness leads to problems like wasted resources and missing long-term economic benefits. The document concludes by recommending increasing public education through schools, media, and government policies to encourage developers to consider sustainability and help more people understand the long-term benefits.

Vaishnavi Shankar

This document provides an overview of the concepts of a green economy and poverty eradication. It defines a green economy as one that improves human well-being and social equity while reducing environmental risks. It then discusses green economists' views and provides definitions for aspects of a green economy such as renewable energy and clean transportation. The document also critiques some mainstream conceptions of the green economy and discusses how poverty is defined and approaches to reducing poverty through improving health, education, infrastructure, employment, and productivity. It concludes by comparing strategies in China, India, and Brazil and noting that a transition to a green economy could help reduce poverty and vulnerability over the long term.

Waste management summary

Felix Ennin

This document summarizes the history and current state of solid waste management (SWM) practices in developed and developing countries. In developed countries, public health concerns, environmental protection, resource scarcity, climate change, and public participation have driven SWM practices towards more integrated systems since the 1960s. However, in developing countries SWM is complicated by rapid urbanization, inequality, cultural and socioeconomic factors, weak policies and governance, and international influences. Traditional systems analysis approaches used in developed countries have limited applicability in developing country contexts due to their complexity. There is a need for new SWM approaches founded on post-normal science and complex adaptive systems thinking to address the unique challenges faced in developing countries.

This document summarizes a presentation by René Kemp on environment and sustainable development. It discusses Kemp's background and research interests, which include environmental policy, clean technology, societal transformations, and governance for sustainable development. It also summarizes some of the projects Kemp is involved in, including sustainable mobility, reflexive governance, environmental technology assessment, and transition management. Finally, it provides overviews of some of the key topics and frameworks in Kemp's research, such as the economy-environment relationship, three economic truths about the environment, debates around sustainable development, environment and poverty, and new thinking about how the environment is conceptualized.

Environmentality in the Household

Lazri

This document discusses how global environmental governance affects behavior at the household level. It argues that households have become a primary site for reproducing global power structures related to environmentalism. Through eco-knowledge and conserveillance, which involve producing scientific knowledge about the environment and monitoring resource usage, individuals internalize rational management of natural resources. This constructs people as subjects relating to the environment. The presentation provides an ethnographic study of a sustainable housing rehab project to examine how global environmental governance is (re)produced and (re)created at the household level.

Environmental justice

Montgomery Norton

The document discusses environmental justice and outlines several key points: 1) Environmental justice aims to ensure that no groups bear a disproportionate share of negative environmental impacts. It addresses issues like "environmental racism" and ensuring equal protection and opportunity. 2) Health is a main focus of the environmental justice movement in addressing how pollution and toxins affect communities. Several case studies of disproportionately impacted areas are mentioned. 3) Solutions discussed include preventing environmental threats proactively, mobilizing affected communities, and joining environmental and social justice efforts into a unified movement focusing on sustainability and equitable development.

vijay kumar sarabu

There is direct relationship between environment and economic development. Economic development without environmental considerations can cause serious environmental damage in turn impairing the quality of life of present and future generations. In the process of economic development, the environmental problems have been ignored or less concentrated. Any country’s environmental problems are related to the level of its economic development, the availability of natural resources and the lifestyle of its population. In India, rapid growth of population, poverty, urbanization, industrialization and several related factors are responsible for the rapid degradation of the environment. Environmental problems have become serious in many parts of the country, and hence cannot be ignored. The main environmental problems in India relate to air and water pollution particularly in metropolitan cities and industrial zones, degradation of common property resources (Tanks, Ponds Lakes, Rivers, Forests etc.) which affect the poor adversely as they depends on them for their livelihood, threat to biodiversity and inadequate system of solid waste disposal and sanitation with consequent adverse impact on health, infant mortality and birth rate.

TNenergy

This presentation discusses how combined heat and power (CHP) systems provide resilience and cost savings for hospitals. CHP systems capture waste heat from power generation to provide both electricity and thermal energy like heat or cooling. The presentation notes that hospitals are energy intensive buildings that spend over $5 billion annually on energy. It provides examples of hospitals that maintained power during disasters using CHP and estimates that CHP could provide over 2,800 MW of potential capacity in Tennessee. However, many hospitals do not invest in CHP due to competing capital needs, lack of knowledge, and other barriers. The presentation aims to demonstrate the economic and reliability benefits of CHP for hospitals.

The ABCs of Performance Contracting

TNenergy

This document provides an overview of performance contracting through energy service companies (ESCOs) for energy efficiency projects. It defines key terms and outlines the typical steps in a performance contracting project. These include identifying an appropriate project, issuing a request for proposals, conducting an investment grade audit, negotiating and approving contracts, and long-term measurement and verification of energy savings. The document explains how performance contracting can provide capital improvements with guaranteed energy savings and notes important considerations like utilizing state resources and following statutory requirements.

Informe del fondo monetario internacional

Ángel Gómez Díaz

The document analyzes household savings rates in Spain. It finds that: 1) Spain's household savings rate fell to a record low of 8.1% in 2012 as households cut back savings to support consumption in the face of negative income shocks from high unemployment and fiscal consolidation measures. 2) Savings declined across all households but likely fell more for lower-income and highly indebted groups, slowing the pace of household deleveraging. 3) Looking ahead, household savings rates in Spain are expected to remain below historical levels as households need to continue restraining consumption to repay debt, before gradually increasing over the long term.

Here are a few key points regarding how the current profit system would need to be adjusted to account for environmental and social costs: - Externalized costs: Currently, many environmental and social costs are externalized and not reflected in product/service prices. A revised system would find ways to internalize these externalities, such as through carbon pricing, pollution taxes, etc. This would make prices more accurately reflect the true costs. - Short-term thinking: The current quarterly earnings focus encourages short-term decision making. Longer reporting periods and/or metrics like long-term value creation would shift focus to sustainability. - Narrow definition of value: "Profit" only considers financial returns to shareholders.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau Relevance, Rationale, and Context Traditionally, environment referred to the surrounding in which a phenomenon existed or an event took place. Over time, the concept has broadened considerably and now includes numerous aspects of social, technical, economic, political, and psychological arrangements, activities, and outcomes. Environment refers principally to ecological conditions, but is closely relevant to the quality of life and the management of natural resources (Buhrs and Bartlett, 1993: 9). Modernization and technological advancement have accorded prominence in the move toward development for many decades, and several countries have been making frantic efforts to achieve them. Consequently, overemphasis on infrastructure development and ruthless exploitation of natural resources have upset the ecological balance, and environmental protection and sustainability have emerged as a critical issue in development. Notes The relevance of development to the environment is obvious. Many of the activities intended to foster development have impacts on the environment. Rapid industrialization and urbanization, mechanization of agriculture, construction of infrastructure, improvements in transportation facilities, and other measures are accomplished at the cost of depletion of forests, overexploitation of natural resources, and diminishing of agricultural land. In addition, the extensive use of fossil fuels, huge carbon emission, and.

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.

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

ECUADOR DEMOCRATICO

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.

Benefits of Urban Forests

Kelly Murphy

This document summarizes a student research paper on the benefits of urban forests. It discusses the environmental, social, aesthetic, and economic benefits that trees provide in cities. It also profiles 4 cities - Sacramento, Portland, New York, and Sydney - that have highly successful urban forestry programs due to factors like community support, sufficient budgets, and comprehensive management plans. Finally, it compares the urban forestry plans of Chico, CA to these other cities and identifies ways Chico's plans could be strengthened.

Approaches to environmental services research in the CGIAR - Meine van Noordwijk

Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR

The document discusses approaches to environmental services research in the CGIAR. It begins by noting the importance of environmental services for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals related to ending poverty and hunger. It then examines where environmental services fit within the CGIAR's Strategic Results Framework. The document presents a conceptual framework for analyzing the interactions between people, their land use decisions, and resulting environmental consequences. It discusses various options for addressing negative environmental externalities, including payments for environmental services. Finally, it argues that creating shared identities and moral standards can help internalize externalities of land use decisions.
