商品描述
This book covers a variety of topics regarding environmental practices in our day-to-day lives, as well as topics concerning sustainable development as a broader concept embracing ecological, social, and economic aspects to improve the quality of life for people around the world. Starting with the traditional controversy between the neoclassical economy and sustainable economy, which may be overcome by scientific progress due to more intensive scientific studies of the sustainability paradigm, the book proceeds to discuss various problems and challenges regarding environmental protection and sustainable development in different countries and on different continents.
This includes analyses of recent, sometimes fatal mining disasters in South and North America, challenges and opportunities for rural development in Africa and Australia, an exploration of the role of women for sustainable development in Palestine, water safety and water security issues in Asia and Australia, the environmental exploitation of popular tourism destinations like Acapulco, and deforestation in Malaysia, suggesting innovative approaches to turn challenges into opportunities to effectively tackle these problems. Other topics addressed involve sustainable energy creation for future generations, a research survey among Romanian students on sustainable consumption behavior, validity testing for a heat transfer model in a greenhouse, and a case study on sustainability risk management practices at Malaysia's environmentally sensitive companies. The book closes with an examination of highly digitalized Smart Cities as a potentially valuable complement to conventional urban and rural lifestyles in connection with achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書涵蓋了我們日常生活中環境實踐的各種主題，以及關於可持續發展的更廣泛概念，該概念包括生態、社會和經濟方面，以改善全球人民的生活質量。書中首先探討了新古典經濟學與可持續經濟學之間的傳統爭論，這一爭論可能因為對可持續性範式進行更深入的科學研究而得到解決，接著討論了不同國家和大陸在環境保護和可持續發展方面的各種問題和挑戰。
這包括對南美和北美最近發生的有時致命的採礦災難的分析，非洲和澳大利亞農村發展的挑戰與機遇，探討女性在巴勒斯坦可持續發展中的角色，亞洲和澳大利亞的水安全與水資源安全問題，熱門旅遊目的地如阿卡普爾科的環境開發，以及馬來西亞的森林砍伐，提出創新的方法將挑戰轉化為機遇，以有效應對這些問題。其他涉及的主題包括為未來世代創造可持續能源、對羅馬尼亞學生可持續消費行為的研究調查、溫室內熱傳遞模型的有效性測試，以及對馬來西亞環境敏感企業可持續風險管理實踐的案例研究。書的最後探討了高度數位化的智慧城市，作為實現聯合國可持續發展目標（SDGs）與傳統城市和農村生活方式的潛在有價值的補充。
