Abstract

Buying and Selling the Environment: How to Design and Implement a PES Scheme provides a guide to the design and implementation of PES schemes that 'mimic' market processes, including three key elements: the estimation of the demand for environmental services, an understanding of the costs of supply, and how to predict the productivity of actions taken. This book will act as an instructional manual for practitioners, policymakers and their advisors in government and non-government organizations. Users will find a step-by-step demonstration based on firsthand experiences gained through a PES application at two case study sites. Finally, the book presents research in applied economics and bio-physical modeling.

Abstract

This essay is about the management of natural and environmental resources in cross-border areas. It explores a group of geographical, political, legal, economic and cultural factors that arise when political units (such as sovereign countries, dependent states and other administrative units) seek to utilize natural and environmental resources efficiently and equitably while minimizing the resultant damages (for example, prevention of resource degradation and preservation of the physical environment). This study considers various types of cross-border areas - at both international and sub-natio

Abstract

Het omgevingsrechtelijk beleid wordt traditioneel vormgegeven door eenzijdige overheidsinstrumenten zoals structuurplannen, bestemmingsplannen, vergunningen enz. Evoluerende maatschappelijke omstandigheden leiden er echter toe dat het eenzijdig overheidsoptreden niet altijd de meest efficiënte manier (meer) is om aan beleid te doen. Beleidsovereenkomsten zouden (een deel van) de oplossing kunnen zijn.In dit boek, dat de commercieel herwerkte editie vormt van het proefschrift dat de auteur op 25 mei 2022 openbaar verdedigde aan de KU Leuven, wordt nagegaan of en hoe de overheid de overeenkomst kan gebruiken als beleidsinstrument in het Vlaamse omgevingsrecht. De bestemmingsplanovereenkomst, als type van beleidsovereenkomst, staat hierbij centraal. Dit boek bevat een diepgaande rechtsvergelijkende studie met het Nederlands recht. De auteur komt tot de conclusie dat de overheid wel degelijk overeenkomsten kan sluiten ter formulering, tenuitvoerlegging en/of handhaving van haar beleid in het omgevingsrecht. De specificiteit van de overheid als contractspartij en het overheidsbeleid als voorwerp van de overeenkomst vereisen evenwel bepaalde beperkingen en aanvullingen van de toepassing van het gemeen contractenrecht.De inzichten in dit boek zijn bestemd voor iedereen die juridisch en beleidsmatig te maken heeft met het omgevingsrecht. Het is dan ook bijzonder waardevol voor juristen, advocaten, rechters en beleidsmakers.

Abstract

“Political philosophies that put a lot of weight on freedom and property rights have a hard time grappling with the problem of pollution. How can we reconcile the inviolability of the individual with the ubiquity of negative externalities? The essays in this volume represent the most promising and sophisticated effort yet to come to grips with this problem. Climate Liberalism is essential reading on one of the most theoretically interesting and practically important issues of our time.” -- Matt Zwolinski, Professor of Philosophy, University of San Diego Author of The Individualists: Radicals, Reactionaries, and the Struggle for the Soul of Libertarianism “Climate Liberalism captures a valuable and overdue conversation about classical liberal thinking and the seemingly intractable problem of climate change. Much of what is written about domestic and international climate policy boils down to nihilist political considerations, and lacks any theoretical or deontological foundation. This volume is a vital step towards filling that void.” -- Shi-Ling Hsu D’Alemberte Professor, Florida State University College of Law Author of Capitalism and the Environment Climate Liberalism examines the potential and limitations of classical-liberal approaches to pollution control and climate change. Some successful environmental strategies, such as the use of catch-shares for fisheries, instream water rights, and tradable emission permits, draw heavily upon the classical liberal intellectual tradition and its emphasis on property rights and competitive markets. This intellectual tradition has been less helpful, to date, in the development or design of climate change policies. Climate Liberalism aims to help fill the gap in the academic literature examining the extent to which classical-liberal principles, including an emphasis on property rights, decentralized authority and dynamic markets, can inform the debate over climate-change policies. The contributors in this book approach the topic from a range of perspectives and represent multiple academic disciplines. Chapters consider the role of property rights and common-law legal systems in controlling pollution, the extent to which competitive markets backed by legal rules encourage risk minimization and adaptation, and how to identify the sorts of policy interventions that may help address climate change in ways that are consistent with liberal values. Jonathan H. Adler is the inaugural Johan Verheij Memorial Professor of Law and the founding Director of the Coleman P. Burke Center for Environmental Law at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law, where he teaches courses in environmental, administrative and constitutional law.

Abstract

"Youth movements have long influenced policy responses to social, political, and environmental change. Mark Terry provides a framework for understanding today’s crusades, especially their use of new media. Equally important, he offers an important practical guide for enlisting the perspective and energy of youth to address critical issues, notably the climate crisis. In a world facing momentous challenges, Speaking Youth to Power could not be more timely, valuable, or necessary." —David J. Bodenhamer, Professor of History and Informatics, Indiana University, Indianapolis. This book examines the methods and approaches currently being taken by the global community of youth in influencing environmental policymakers of the United Nations. It is divided into two sections: The Groundswell Approach, exploring the use of social media and mass gatherings aimed at raising public awareness of the issue of climate change; and The Direct Approach, a participatory methodology that encourages collaboration directly with the policymaker and youth in the discussions and creation of progressive climate policy for the world. The book also delivers a detailed analysis of the United Nations’ only database of youth-produced documentary films related to climate change research, impacts, and proposed solutions: the Youth Climate Report, arguing that film is a powerful and effective communications tool for the policymaker. The book proposes two frameworks and explores their in-field applications for successful youth climate activism. Mark Terry is a scholar, explorer, and filmmaker. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, and The Explorers Club. He teaches at the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change, York University, Toronto, and the Faculty of Arts, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Canada.

Abstract

The Second Edition of this book is completely revised and updated throughout providing an overview of current challenges faced within the area of Agri-food in relation to policymaking, ecological conservation and socio-environmental justice. Including a range of new chapters, the book explores some of the conceptual and analytical gaps that are presented by current approaches to this topic. The series of interconnected chapters offers a critical reinterpretation of the tensions associated with the failures of mainstream regulatory regimes, land and resource grabbing, and the impacts of global agri-food chains at local, regional and inter-sectoral scales. The book also examines past legacies and emerging challenges associated with agriculture modernisation, politico-spatial disputes, climate change, social movements, gender, ethnicity and education. It likewise addresses the transformative potential of different combinations of biophysical, socio-technical and socio-spatial practices of food sovereignty. Antonio Augusto Rossotto Ioris is reader in human geography and director of the M.Sc. in Environment and Development at the School of Geography and Planning, Cardiff University. Associate editor of the journal Progress in Development Studies and author of, among others, the books “Agribusiness and the Neoliberal Food System in Brazil: Frontiers and Fissures of Agro-neoliberalism” (2017), “Frontier Making in the Amazon: Economic, Political and Socioecological Conversion” (2020) and “Kaiowcide: Living through the Guarani-Kaiowa Genocide” (2021). He edited “Agriculture, Environment and Development: International Perspectives on Water, Land and Politics”, published in 2016. Bernardo Mançano Fernandes is professor of the Graduate Programme in Geography and of the Graduate Programme in Territorial Development in Latin America the Caribbean, São Paulo State University (UNESP), and holder of the UNESCO Chair in Territorial Development and Education for the Countryside.
