Описание:
Energy Transformation towards Sustainability explores how researchers, businesses and policymakers can explore and usefully improve energy systems and energy consumption behavior, both to reflect the reality of climate change and related environmental degradation and to adapt to the expanding periphery of renewable energy technologies. It introduces the reader to a suite of potential policy pathways to the necessary transformation in societal energy consumption, usage and behavior. Solutions discussed include energy efficiency, energy security, the role of political leadership, green public policy, and the transition to renewable energy sources.
International contributions address the range and depth of current research from a position of advocacy for 'energy stewardship' as the driver of this transformation. Case studies illustrate the range of various countries to diminish energy use. Finally, policy avenues are covered in depth.
Reviews the interrelationship between economic growth, energy consumption and climate change
Uses a wide variety of case studies to support practical implementation across national energy systems
Highlights a wide spectrum of urgent issues, including threats related to energy use and secure and sustainable development
Contains contributions that reflect a breadth and depth of scholarship from international backgrounds

Описание: In this open access publication it is shown, that sustainable low carbon development is a transformative process that constitutes the shifting from the initially chosen or taken pathway to another pathway as goals have been re-visited and revised to enable the system to adapt to changes.
Описание: This paper considers how forest monitoring can inform problem-solving, especially on public policy. To examine the factors that determine whether or not forest monitoring results inform problem-solving efforts, a set of positive cases was selected, including Viet Nam and its forest transition in the early 1990s, to accelerate agricultural transition and expand a forest industry, and Cameroon, where important steps were taken to reform the forest concessions regime in the 1990s and 2000s.
The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals has reinforced the importance of science–policy linkages. In the forestry sector, efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) have created opportunities for forest monitoring capacity development over the past decade, which can further support forest management and domestic policy-making in addition to international reporting.
The cases examined in this paper show that diverse types of data and analysis on forests contributed to informing both public policy and corporate activities. Information was tailored to the issues at hand and to those involved in decision-making, with operational decision-making using locally specific data, collected and analysed in a timely manner. Thematically rich datasets became the basis for detailed analysis - including through modelling - to identify solutions, and the data and analysis underpinned clear and intuitive messaging to place issues on the agenda of policy-makers.

Описание: This book addresses climate change and sustainability management from a transdisciplinary perspective which encompasses within itself how different humanistic disciplines can culminate with each other to move ahead with the agenda. Issues of adapting to climate change and sustainability management have been gaining global prominence over the past few decades. There have also been volumes of literature that highlight the technical dimensions of climate change and sustainability across regions and cultures. However, they have had limited strength to bring direct and desirable impact in promoting pro-climate action and sustainability behaviour. The major reason for this is limited inclusion of pluralistic perspectives into human cognition and affect, and resultant limited public acceptability. Although behavioural science as a discipline has taken a front seat in promoting behavioural transformation, the book argues that other humanistic fields of understanding like education, art, literature, philosophy, political science, sociology, economics, etc., have to be integrated in order to present a holistic standpoint to sustainability literature.
Описание: The cooperative banks’ business model is unique in the financial market. It is featured by democratic foundations (one-head-one-vote principle), proximity to the members and the community they serve, limited profit-seeking nature, and prudent management. However, these principles are applied in a variety of organisational structures and economic and regulatory contexts, making cooperative banks significantly different from one country to another. This book expands existing knowledge on the European cooperative banking sector by analysing recent trends affecting cooperative banks. Namely, the book discusses the role of cooperative banks in the policy and societal movement towards sustainability, including in adopting sustainable finance practices. It explores the digital transformation journey of cooperative banks and the impact of the consolidation of Fintech players in the financial services markets. It further showcases the need to evolve the cooperative banks’ governance structures and processes in order to foster (and in some cases restore) democracy and transparency in the decision-making. Lastly, the book debates the specific role of cooperative banks in the economic crisis that has followed the unfolding of the Covid-19 pandemic vis-?-vis their members and the communities they serve. Of interest to scholars, professors, students, and practitioners of banking and finance, this book will build on the existing research and explore the latest trends in the space.
