Book Description
The Enhancing Resources and Increasing Capacities of Poor Households Towards Elimination of their Poverty (the ENRICH) programme is being implemented by Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF), which is a government-established Foundation and implements its programmes through Partner NGOs. The efforts are concerned with the perspective of eradicating poverty, aiming at enabling individuals to live a life that is humanly dignified. In doing so, the ENRICH programme focuses on creating opportunities for them to exercise freedom in determining their choices. The approach based on this understanding, i.e. poverty reduction/elimination and economic improvement strategies, coupled with interventions that ensure access to universal human rights, should promote freedom of choice leading to a dignified life and has shaped the programme contents and implementation framework. The ENRICH programme has been conceptualized and promoted by the current Chairman of PKSF, Dr. Qazi Kholiquzzaman Ahmad, who was appointed to the position in November 2009. In essence, the ENRICH programme is innovative, integrated, human-centred, taking into consideration the multidimensionality of human life and living, involving socio-economic and environmental dimensions. It focuses on human capability, both individual and collective and social capital formation to facilitate the way forward, the ultimate goal being humanly dignified living of all those who are deprived of this fundamental call of humanity.

Book Description
The right to human dignity embodies the fundamental notion that all individuals in present and future generations are entitled to equal respect from others, to live life well, with choices, and free from arbitrary action by those in positions of power. This can only be done in conditions of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Dignity is not simply an aspiration or a wish; it is an actionable right that is being recognized by courts in thousands of cases around the world. Indeed, courts have applied the right and the value of human dignity in a wide variety of factual and legal settings that span the catalogues of both civil and political rights and socio-economic and cultural rights, that now include environmental rights. This chapter has four parts. Part I provides an introduction to the right to human dignity under law, a concept nearly as old as humanity and as fresh as the most recent cases. Part II then pivots to environmental rights, including domestic, regional, and emerging international means for recognition as a way of advancing environmental and social sustainability. Part III demonstrates the indivisibility of sustainability and the right to dignity as reflected in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Part IV samples judicial decisions from around the globe that bridge these concepts. We conclude that it is instructive to recognize that advancing human dignity is sustainability's core function.

Book Description
Focusing on contemporary debates in philosophy and legal theory, this ground-breaking book provides a compelling enquiry into the nature of human dignity. The author not only illustrates that dignity is a concept that can extend our understanding of our environmental impacts and duties, but also highlights how our reliance on and relatedness to the environment further extends and enhances our understanding of dignity itself.

Book Description
Human rights are inextricable from the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the UN Office of the High Commission states, “Human rights are essential to achieving sustainable development that leaves no one behind and are central to all its three dimensions - social, environmental, and economic.” Indeed, if educational outcomes improve through forced conscription, economic growth depends on exploitative labor, or environmental gains are achieved through inequitable treatment, overall flourishing may be diminished rather than increased. Research suggests this is not only possible, but likely: Human rights are loosely defined and monitored, and even firms with explicit human rights commitments fail to act in ways consistent with their statements (Salcito, Wielga and Burton 2015). How can we ensure that our SDG-related work does not erode human rights, and where possible, bolsters them? What concepts can we use to assess organizations' efforts to advance the SDGs in terms of human rights, such that we can support optimization on these criteria? We answer this question by recognizing that human dignity - the belief that all humans possess inalienable, inherent, unearned and equal value (e.g., Hodson 2001, Lucas et al. 2013, 2015, Wein, Lanthorn and Fischer 2022) is the forerunner and bedrock of human rights. We first align dignity-affirming capabilities (Nussbaum 2012) with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), identifying marketing literatures relevant to each. This alignment makes clear that marketing researchers have informed disparate aspects of dignity and therefore, have already contributed to our understanding of human rights. However, our work stops far short of guidance about translation to practice or generalizable analysis of the experiences that marketers may have the power to shape. To address this gap, we identify recognition, agency and equity as three key components of dignity for which interventions and research can be audited. We briefly report experimental data that suggests that not only can recognition, agency and equity be manipulated at scale, they combine to predict felt dignity. We close with a set of case studies illustrating ways in which these three components of dignity can be audited, such that we can ensure that our research and interventions support the cause of human rights across SDGs.

Book Description
The future happiness of humankind depends on the universal understanding of human nature in terms of human needs for complete human development. What is needed to address millennium challenges and achieve sustainable development is an education for human dignity. An education in pursuit of the true knowledge of humanity. Our survival and continued evolution depend on the choice of philosophical paradigm which underlies the holistic education of human dignity that we offer to our children as the source of the creative nebulae in which the youths find refuge as they enter the world to renew mankind.

Book Description
The treatment of employees is increasingly becoming recognised as an important ingredient of sustainable enterprise. As sustainability, and all that it implies, becomes ever more critical, this book, with its multiple perspectives on the workplace and on the issues therein, such as diversity in the broadest sense, fills a gap in the research related literature essential to a more rounded understanding of CSR.

Book Description
At a time when the global development industry is under more pressure than ever before, this book argues that an end to poverty can only be achieved by prioritizing human dignity. Unable to adequately account for the roles of culture, context, and local institutions, today’s outsider-led development interventions continue to leave a trail of unintended consequences, ranging from wasteful to even harmful. This book shows that increased prosperity can only be achieved when people are valued as self-governing agents. Social orders that recognize autonomy and human dignity unleash enormous productive energy. This in turn leads to the mobilization of knowledge-sharing that is critical to innovation and localized problem-solving. Offering a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives and specific examples from the field showing these ideas in action, this book provides NGOs, multilateral institutions, and donor countries with practical guidelines for implementing "dignity-first" development. Compelling and engaging, with a wide range of recommendations for reforming development practice and supporting liberal democracy, this book will be an essential read for students and practitioners of international development.

Book Description
Despite the global endorsement of the Sustainable Development Goals, environmental justice struggles are growing all over the world. These struggles are not isolated injustices, but symptoms of interlocking forms of oppression that privilege the few while inflicting misery on the many and threatening ecological collapse. This handbook offers critical perspectives on the multi-dimensional, intersectional nature of environmental injustice and the cross-cutting forms of oppression that unite and divide these struggles, including gender, race, poverty, and indigeneity. The work sheds new light on the often-neglected social dimension of sustainability and its relationship to human rights and environmental justice. Using a variety of legal frameworks and case studies from around the world, this volume illustrates the importance of overcoming the fragmentation of these legal frameworks and social movements in order to develop holistic solutions that promote justice and protect the planet's ecosystems at a time of intensifying economic and ecological crisis.
