As the global economy continues to grow and change, issues
concerning sustainability practices have become more prevalent. The
implementation of efficient sustainability procedures offers
significant assistance in the development of modern economies.
Economic Modeling, Analysis, and Policy for Sustainability focuses
on interdisciplinary perspectives concerning the social,
environmental, and economic spheres of sustainability science.
Emphasizing economic models, as well as mitigation policies and
practices from various regions of the world, this book is a pivotal
reference source for researchers, policy makers, government
officials, and corporate leaders.
This book looks at the issue of property rights on water and, the
dependence of marginal farmers on common resources for their
livelihood, in detail. It is accompanied by a complementary CD ROM,
replete with data from India's rural pockets.
This open access volume is the first comprehensive assessment of
the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region. It comprises important
scientific research on the social, economic, and environmental
pillars of sustainable mountain development and will serve as a
basis for evidence-based decision-making to safeguard the
environment and advance people's well-being. The compiled content
is based on the collective knowledge of over 300 leading
researchers, experts and policymakers, brought together by the
Hindu Kush Himalayan Monitoring and Assessment Programme (HIMAP)
under the coordination of the International Centre for Integrated
Mountain Development (ICIMOD). This assessment was conducted
between 2013 and 2017 as the first of a series of monitoring and
assessment reports, under the guidance of the HIMAP Steering
Committee: Eklabya Sharma (ICIMOD), Atiq Raman (Bangladesh), Yuba
Raj Khatiwada (Nepal), Linxiu Zhang (China), Surendra Pratap Singh
(India), Tandong Yao (China) and David Molden (ICIMOD and Chair of
the HIMAP SC). This First HKH Assessment Report consists of 16
chapters, which comprehensively assess the current state of
knowledge of the HKH region, increase the understanding of various
drivers of change and their impacts, address critical data gaps and
develop a set of evidence-based and actionable policy solutions and
recommendations. These are linked to nine mountain priorities for
the mountains and people of the HKH consistent with the Sustainable
Development Goals. This book is a must-read for policy makers,
academics and students interested in this important region and an
essentially important resource for contributors to global
assessments such as the IPCC reports.
