Benefits of Environmental Policy - Conference Volume of the 6th Chemnitz Symposium 'Europe and Environment'... Benefits of Environmental Policy - Conference Volume of the 6th Chemnitz Symposium 'Europe and Environment' (Paperback)

R1,371 Discovery Miles 13 710 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Environmental policy may produce effects which go beyond the scope of the specific policy's initial aim. Reforestation, for example, generates positive benefits not only in the shape of climate protection but also in the shape of the combat of biodiversity loss and it may also raise the attractiveness of a region for tourists. There are several examples of environmental policies, generating initially unintended co-effects. These co-effects are not always positive, of course. This book addresses the wide range of (co-)effects associated with environmental policies which may increase or decrease the attractiveness of these policies. Therefore, the book's scope goes beyond the standard economic analyses, which regularly postulate a specific cause-and-effect chain. The complexity and wide range of benefits is investigated from different perspectives and by means of different methodologies. Among the environmental policies discussed are climate mitigation policies as well as adaptation policies. The inclusion of all relevant effects of environmental policy (and therefore not only of the primarily intended effects) tends to have a strong impact on the efficient policy design. The areas which are covered by the book will be of great interest mainly for economists (environmental economics, ecological economics), ecologists and political scientists as well as practitioners, scientists and policy makers.

Klaus-Dieter and Martina John had a vision; to build a top quality health facility for the Indians of the Peruvian Andes. Neglected and marginalised, these people suffer appallingly from the diseases of poverty. Klaus and Martina were highly qualified in surgery and paediatrics, but they had never taken on such a project. Now they set about raising the millions of dollars needed. They watched in astonishment as God opened hearts and pricked consciences to create not just a health centre, but a fully-equipped hospital. If faith can move mountains, it can also shake wallets and transform hearts. This faith has overcome the mire of bureaucracy, deep rooted scepticism, and even blunt rejection. It has cleared blocked roads, blown away arguments, and united Catholics and Protestants in one love for God and their fellow people.

"You are out of your minds!" That was the reaction of many when they heard. Klaus and Martina John were planning to build a modern hospital for the Peruvian Indios - without any capital, income, or loans. But the resulting story of Diospi Suyana has become a thriller full of miracles and examples of divine providence. Since its inauguration in 2007, the adventure has continued as Diospi Suyana has regularly faced danger, corruption, and seemingly insurmountable obstacles. And yet it continues to grow. The Hospital of Hope has been the subject of 500+ media reports around the world. The unexpected twists and turns in its history has fascinated millions.

Das Prinzip der Nachhaltigkeit verlangt von der traditionellen Umweltokonomie ein Umdenken, das sich als Okologisierung der Okonomie charakterisieren lasst. Gleichzeitig stellt sich vor dem Hintergrund der hohen Arbeitslosigkeit erneut die Frage nach der Beziehung zwischen Umwelt, Beschaftigung und Wachstum.
Wahrend auf dem 6. Mainzer Umweltsymposium die Moglichkeiten und Rahmenbedingungen eines mit Nachhaltigkeit vereinbarten Wirtschaftswachstums im Vordergrund standen, widmete sich das 7. Mainzer Umweltsymposium der Beschaftgungsproblematik."

Das 3. und 4. Mainzer Umweltsymposium beschaftigten sich mit der Frage, wie sich der Verkehr umweltgerechter gestalten lasst.Dieses Thema ist umweltpolitisch deswegen von besonderer Bedeutung, weil sich in der jungeren Vergangenheit in fast allen Umweltbereichen zum Teil signifikante Verbesserungen ergeben haben. Die aus dem Verkehr - insbesondere aus dem motorisierten Individualverkehr - resultierenden Belastungen der Umwelt haben dagegen zugenommen. Erinnert sei nur an die raumliche Trennung von Wohnen und Arbeiten und den daraus resultierenden Berufsverkehr sowie die durch "lean production" und "just in time"-Konzepte hervorgerufene Zunahme des Lieferverkehrs. Wahrend auf dem 3. Mainzer Umweltsymposium das Problem okologischer Verkehrskonzepte recht breit diskutiert wurde, konzentrierte sich das 4. Mainzer Umweltsymposium vor allem auf die Frage, ob und wie sich durch den Ausbau des offentlichen Verkehrs eine wirksame Entlastung der Umwelt erzielen lasst.
