Título : Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Leal Filho, Walter Editorial: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg Fecha de publicación: 2013 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: Climate Change Management, ISSN 1610-2010 Número de páginas: XII, 692 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-642-31110-9 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Climate change Environmental management economics Economics Change Management and Policy Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: There has been some degree of reluctance in the past to consider disaster risk management within the mainstream of adaptation to climate variability and climate change. However, there is now wide recognition of the need to incorporate disaster risk management concerns in dealing with such phenomena. There is also a growing awareness of the neccessity for a multi-sectoral approach in managing the effects of climate variability and climate change, since this can lead to a significant reduction of risk. This book presents the latest findings from scientific research on climate variation, climate change and their links with disaster risk management. It showcases projects and other initiatives in this field that are being undertaken in both industrialised and developing countries, by universities and scientific institutions, government bodies, national and international agencies, NGOs and other stakeholders. Finally, it discusses current and future challenges, identifying opportunities and highlighting the still unrealised potential for promoting better understanding of the connections between climate variation, climate change and disaster risk management worldwide.

Título : Climate Change Governance Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Knieling, Jörg ; Leal Filho, Walter Editorial: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg Fecha de publicación: 2013 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: Climate Change Management, ISSN 1610-2010 Número de páginas: VIII, 320 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-642-29831-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Climate change Management Industrial management Environmental economics Economics Change and Policy Innovation/Technology Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: Climate change is a cause for concern both globally and locally. In order for it to be tackled holistically, its governance is an important topic needing scientific and practical consideration. Climate change governance is an emerging area, and one which is closely related to state and public administrative systems and the behaviour of private actors, including the business sector, as well as the civil society and non-governmental organisations. Questions of climate change governance deal both with mitigation and adaptation whilst at the same time trying to devise effective ways of managing the consequences of these measures across the different sectors. Many books have been produced on general matters related to climate change, such as climate modelling, temperature variations, sea level rise, but, to date, very few publications have addressed the political, economic and social elements of climate change and their links with governance. This book will address this gap. Furthermore, a particular feature of this book is that it not only presents different perspectives on climate change governance, but it also introduces theoretical approaches and brings these together with practical examples which show how main principles may be implemented in practice Nota de contenido: Part 1 - Theoretical and Conceptual Framing of Climate Change Governance -- Part2 - Case Studies I : Policy-related and Governmental Approaches -- Part 3 - Case Studies II: Business-related and Technical Approaches En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-29831-8 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36500 Climate Change Governance [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Knieling, Jörg ; Leal Filho, Walter . - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg : Imprint: Springer, 2013 . - VIII, 320 p : online resource. - (Climate Change Management, ISSN 1610-2010) .

Título : Innovative Approaches Towards Low Carbon Economics : Regional Development Cybernetics Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Xu, Jiuping ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Yao, Liming ; Lu, Yi Editorial: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg Fecha de publicación: 2014 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: Climate Change Management, ISSN 1610-2010 Número de páginas: XXVII, 436 p. 228 illus., 43 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-642-45429-5 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Environmental economics Economics Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: Increasing carbon dioxide emissions from large-scale human activities have resulted in climate change and an increase in extreme weather events all around the world, resulting in significant human development crises. To overcome this issue, scientific consensus has been encouraging a global focus towards low carbon economics. For this purpose, the development of a framework for regional development cybernetics is an innovative approach. While the cybernetics approach requires that all sectors, such as industry, government, and citizens, and all levels, including global, national, and regional levels, engage in this closed-loop action, the implementation of climate strategies depends heavily on the regional level. Through the establishment of an innovative pedigree of model technologies, this book develops systematic quantificational methods, such as uncertain multi-objective programming models, systems dynamics model, econometric models, and ecological carrying capacity models, to simulate and solve the key issues affecting regional low carbon development, including greenhouse gas control, ecological capacity evaluation, regional economic prediction, energy structure optimization, land resource utilization, industrial structure adjustment, low carbon industrial chains, low carbon transportation systems and low carbon tourism. At the same time, decision makers are provided with many effective strategies to plan for regional low carbon development. This book also provides researchers with a new perspective from which to pursue solutions to key social problems using quantitative techniques. This book, with its focus on climate change, social science, economic development, low carbon economics, and management science, is ideal for researchers, practitioners, engineers, graduate students, and upper-level undergraduates.
