Título : Climate Sensitive Adaptation in Health : Imperatives for India in a Developing Economy Context Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Purnamita Dasgupta ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: New Delhi : Springer India Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XXII, 194 p. 74 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-81-322-2824-0 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Climate change Public health Health economics Medical Development Environmental Economics Change/Climate Change Impacts Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: This book focuses on the risks that climate change poses for the health sector. It discusses the current vulnerabilities to climate-sensitive diseases, the resultant mortality and morbidity in human populations, the projected risks in connection with increasing global warming, and the options for tackling the adverse impacts of climate change. Adapting to climate change so as to effectively address the risks for and adverse impacts on the health sector requires an in-depth understanding of current deficits in health sector preparedness for climate-sensitive illnesses, as well as future plans and programs for increasing adaptive capacity and building resilience. The book situates climate and health adaptation concerns in the broader context of developing countries, providing insights that can be useful for other countries as well, helping them further their health adaptation efforts. In India, poverty and inadequate access to basic water, health and sanitation services combine with climate-related events to adversely impact health outcomes. Three case studies on the occurrence of heat stress, flooding, and extreme cyclonic events in India are presented along with a critical assessment of the level of preparedness and capacity of healthcare facilities to respond to the threats posed by climate change. The book presents the key challenges faced in reducing the risks posed to the health sector by climatic factors, and highlights the most important opportunities for promoting resilience and adaptation to achieve sustainable development. Dr. Dasgupta's excellent book reviews the health risks of climate change, outlines an operational framework for health adaptation, and describes the socioeconomic context for adaptation in India. - Kristie L. Ebi Professor, Departments of Global Health, and Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, University of Washington, USA This pioneering work contributes to an the understanding of the preparedness in India to manage health risks from such (climate) change on the basis of detailed data analysis, both from large national surveys and contextualized field based surveys. - Kanchan Chopra Former Director and Professor, Institute of Economic Growth, New Delhi, India Nota de contenido: Introduction: Climate Risks in the Health Sector -- Climate Change Adaptation: The International Experience in Health -- Developing Economy Context for Adaptation Decision-Making -- Understanding Associations: Health, Socio-economic Wellbeing & Climate -- Analysing the Interface in Indian Plans and Policies -- Criticality of the Field: Three Case Studies -- Conclusion: Integrating Sustainable Development and Health Adaptation.

Título : GHG Emissions and Economic Growth : A Computable General Equilibrium Model Based Analysis for India Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Barun Deb Pal ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Vijay P. Ojha ; Sanjib Pohit ; Joyashree Roy Editorial: New Delhi : Springer India Fecha de publicación: 2015 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: India Studies in Business and Economics, ISSN 2198-0012 Número de páginas: XXI, 182 p. 17 illus., 14 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-81-322-1943-9 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Energy policy and state Climate change Econometrics Environmental economics Economics Change/Climate Change Impacts Management Policy Policy, Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: Issues linking climate change and economic growth are now at the centre of discussions regarding development strategies especially in the context of developing countries. This book contributes by analyzing the relationship between economic growth and GHG emissions in India with explicit reference to all major economic sectors. One of the most popular tools for macroeconomic policy analysis is Social Accounting Matrix (SAM). The book presents the methods and estimates of the latest Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for India, which provides a major data base describing the complete circular flow of income and input-output transactions among the sectors of the economy. The novelty of the book lies in the fact that for the first time a SAM has been prepared for the Indian economy with environmental indicators. A detailed methodology for constructing such an extended SAM is also presented in the book. The environmental social accounting matrix (ESAM) based analysis has been included to show direct and indirect links between economic growth and GHG emissions. The book also includes analysis of factors affecting historical GHG emissions trends in India. The book goes beyond SAM and applies computable general equilibrium (CGE) modelling to derive climate-change policy analysis and simulations. This CGE-based analysis is an important contribution to the current debate surrounding carbon tax and its possible impact on macroeconomic growth Nota de contenido: Chapter 1: Economic Growth and GHG emissions: Policy Perspective from past Indian studies -- Chapter 2: Social Accounting Matrix of India: Concepts and Construction -- Chapter 3: Environmentally Extended Social Accounting Matrix of India: Definition and Construction Methodology -- Chapter 4: Impact of Economic Growth on GHG emissions - SAM Multiplier Analysis -- Chapter 5: GHG Emissions in India- A Structural Decomposition Analysis -- Chapter 6: An Environmental CGE Model for India -- Chapter 7: Reference and Policy Scenarios of CGE Model -- Chapter 8: Policy Message for Mitigating India’s GHG emissions En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-81-322-1943-9 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=35835 GHG Emissions and Economic Growth : A Computable General Equilibrium Model Based Analysis for India [documento electrónico] / Barun Deb Pal ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Vijay P.

Título : Realising the 'Triple Dividend of Resilience' : A New Business Case for Disaster Risk Management Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Swenja Surminski ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Thomas Tanner Editorial: Cham : Springer International Publishing Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: Climate Risk Management, Policy and Governance, ISSN 2510-1390 Número de páginas: XIV, 176 p. 28 illus., 26 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-319-40694-7 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Climate change Natural disasters Environmental economics Economics Change/Climate Change Impacts Management and Policy Hazards Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: Why aren't we investing more in disaster resilience, despite the rising costs of disaster events? This book argues that decision-makers in governments, businesses, households, and development agencies tend to focus on avoiding losses from disasters, and perceive the return on investment as uncertain - only realised if a somewhat unlikely disaster event actually happens. This book develops a new business case for investment based on the multiple dividends of resilience. This looks beyond only avoided losses (the first dividend) to the wider benefits gained independently of whether or not the disaster event occurs. These include unleashing entrepreneurial activities and productive investments by lowering the looming threat of losses from disasters and enabling businesses, farmers and homeowners to take positive risks (the second dividend); and co-benefits of resilience measures beyond just disaster risk (the third dividend), such as flood embankments in Bangladesh that double as roads, or wetlands in Colombo that reduce urban heat extremes Nota de contenido: Chapter 1. The triple dividend of resilience - a new narrative for disaster risk management and development -- Chapter 2. Unlocking economic potential: the 'development dividend' of resilience -- Chapter 3. Co-benefits of disaster risk management: the third dividend of resilience -- Chapter 4. Disaster risk management and fiscal policy: entry points for finance ministries.-Chapter 5.
