Book Description
Los sistemas de transporte masivos que movilizan a los habitantes de las ciudades en el día a día, generan una gran huella ecológica que afecta directamente la calidad del medio ambiente de los asentamientos urbanos. Lo anterior, a causa de la contaminación generada tanto por la operación de sus modos de desplazamiento, como por la operación de sus infraestructuras físicas, como estaciones y terminales principales. Las infraestructuras físicas de operación de los sistemas de transporte masivos tienen un consumo energético ? eléctrico desbordado, ya que deben funcionar la mayor parte del día para satisfacer las necesidades de movilidad de las ciudades. Su funcionamiento se da alrededor de 20 horas diarias, no obstante, en algunas ciudades alrededor del mundo el servicio de transporte público contempla un funcionamiento de las 24 horas del día. Adicionalmente, el costo por consumo de energía eléctrica que deben pagar los sistemas de transporte urbano a los productores de energía es bastante elevado dada la cantidad de KW (kilovatios) requeridos diariamente para la operación de las infraestructuras físicas como estaciones y terminales principales, lo cual financieramente representa un buen porcentaje de los costos por operación. Actualmente los proyectos para generar energía eléctrica por medio de fuentes renovables como la energía solar han ganado terreno a pasos agigantados a nivel mundial, ya que está cada vez es más económica, eficiente y omnipresente. En el ámbito colombiano actualmente viene tomando un gran impulso el desarrollo de energías renovables no convencionales como la solar, gracias a la Ley 1715 de 2014 con la cual el gobierno nacional promueve el desarrollo de proyectos de energías renovables, dicha ley brinda beneficios tributarios a los desarrolladores de este tipo de proyectos, al igual que los beneficios brindados por las entidades financieras que emiten bonos verdes.

Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
This publication provides an overview of the common and unique sustainability elements of Indigenous Peoples' food systems, in terms of natural resource management, access to the market, diet diversity, indigenous peoples’ governance systems, and links to traditional knowledge and indigenous languages. While enhancing the learning on Indigenous Peoples food systems, it will raise awareness on the need to enhance the protection of Indigenous Peoples' food systems as a source of livelihood for the 476 million indigenous inhabitants in the world, while contributing to the Zero Hunger Goal. In addition, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit call on the enhancement of sustainable food systems and on the importance of diversifying diets with nutritious foods, while broadening the existing food base and preserving biodiversity. This is a feature characteristic of Indigenous Peoples' food systems since hundreds of years, which can provide answers to the current debate on sustainable food systems and resilience.
Global Environmental Constitutionalism

Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.
Tapirs

Pages : 176
Book Description
Descended from a long and ancient lineage, tapirs are important tropical forest seed dispersers. However, today, all species of tapirs are threatened to various degrees by habitat destruction and hunting. This action plan was written with wildlife biologists, ecologists, administrators, educators and local conservation officials in mind and is aimed at those countries with tapir populations. It provides a brief natural history of each species and its objective is to aid in their conservation by catalyzing conservation action. In addition, it is hoped that the contents of the plan will stimulate further research into this fascinating group of animals.
