. . . this book gives a good overview of major challenges facing policy makers, researchers and ultimately humankind in dealing with climate change. . . The reader also gets a good understanding of how fragmented and transversal the issues of climate change and sustainable development are. Quarterly Journal of International Agriculture . . . a unified, useful and stimulating book which should act as a springboard for further work into what is a very topical and extremely important issue for everyone in the world, not just academics and policymakers. This book serves its intended audience but also deserves to be more widely read. World Entrepreneurship Society Too often, writings on climate change are placed into two categories: climate-change deniers, and climate-change supporters. What this timely and insightful collection of Mohamed Salih s does, is to problematise the issue; taking the debate to a level where it desperately needs to be; asking the thorny questions of how do the politics and international relations of climate impact upon the most vulnerable; the least-affluent; the dwellers of the majority world. In short, Salih challenges us: How did the climate change about climate-change . The responses of his contributors are salient, to-the-point sometimes disturbing but always thought-provoking. Timothy Doyle, Keele University, UK Editing the proceedings of a symposium into a cogent and coherent book is no easy task. This book, a tribute to Professor Opschoor is no exception; with disperse contributions of some highly acclaimed authors covering a wide spectrum of themes. It is a credit to Professor Salih s insight to string them together in the introductory chapter and entice the reader to read on. This book has food for thought on many fronts, reaching far beyond climate change, as did the oeuvre of Hans Opschoor. . . an instructive read. Paul Vlek, Center for Development Research (ZEF), Bonn, Germany It is difficult, if not impossible, to formulate and implement sustainable policy without first understanding the dynamic relationships between nature, society, economics and technology, and research plays a pivotal role in this regard. Climate Change and Sustainable Development is an important book which deals with these issues in the context of climate change and the changing global context of development. It alerts us to the relationship climate change has with two urgent tasks: poverty reduction and sustainable development, which require efforts that span countries, regions and communities. In this interdependent world, argue the authors, a shared vision and common effort are vital to sustaining our life support system. It is a must read. Jacqueline Cramer, The Netherlands Minister for Spatial Planning and the Environment This unique book provides cutting-edge knowledge and analyses of the consequences that climate change will have for sustainable development and poverty reduction within the context of global development. Exploring alternative resource management approaches including federal resource management governance, ecosystem services, digital dematerialization, ecological cities, biofuels versus food, and children and climate change, this innovative volume provides fresh insights on the human condition with regards to the current debates on climate change. The distinguished contributors examine climate change induced processes that present profound challenges to sustainable development and poverty reduction at the local, national and global levels. This groundbreaking study will be a welcome addition for graduate and post-graduate students in development and environmental studies. It will also have great appeal to scientists, policy-makers and researchers in these fields.

In this book the author examines the illegal wildlife trade from multiple perspectives: the historical context, the impact on the environment, the scope of the problem internationally, the sociocultural demand for illegal products, the legal efforts to combat it, and several case studies from inside the trade. The illegal wildlife trade has become a global criminal enterprise, following in the footsteps of drugs and weapons. Beyond the environmental impact, financial profits from the illegal wildlife trade often fund organized crime groups and violent gangs that threaten public safety and security in myriad ways. This innovative volume covers several key questions surrounding the wildlife trade: why is there a demand for illegal wildlife products, which actors are involved in the trade, how is the business organized, and what are the harmful consequences. The author performed ethnographic fieldwork in three key markets: Russia, Morocco, and China, and has constructed a detailed picture of how the wildlife trade operates in these areas. Conversations with informants directly involved in the illegal business ensure unique insights into this lively black market. In the course of his journey the author follows the route of the illegal wildlife trade from poor poaching areas to rich business districts where corrupt officials, legally registered companies, wildlife farms and sophisticated criminal organizations all have a share. A fascinating look inside the world of poachers, smugglers and traders.

This Open Access book, building on research initiated by scholars from the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Global Heritage and Development (CHGD) and ICOMOS Netherlands, presents multidisciplinary research that connects water to heritage. Through twenty-one chapters it explores landscapes, cities, engineering structures and buildings from around the world. It describes how people have actively shaped the course, form and function of water for human settlement and the development of civilizations, establishing socio-economic structures, policies and cultures; a rich world of narratives, laws and practices; and an extensive network of infrastructure, buildings and urban form. The book is organized in five thematic sections that link practices of the past to the design of the present and visions of the future: part I discusses drinking water management; part II addresses water use in agriculture; part III explores water management for land reclamation and defense; part IV examines river and coastal planning; and part V focuses on port cities and waterfront regeneration. Today, the many complex systems of the past are necessarily the basis for new systems that both preserve the past and manage water today: policy makers and designers can work together to recognize and build on the traditional knowledge and skills that old structure embody. This book argues that there is a need for a common agenda and an integrated policy that addresses the preservation, transformation and adaptive reuse of historic water-related structures. Throughout, it imagines how such efforts will help us develop sustainable futures for cities, landscapes and bodies of water.

Silver-grey manpower is a gold mine to society. One by one, the baby boom cohorts will reach the age of 65 starting from 2010. They are large cohorts, relatively well educated and healthy with considerable pension and health care rights. In short, they are lucky devils. As a result of ageing, cohorts that were born in 1985 onwards and that enter the labour market as from approximately 2010 will be required to pay many additional taxes during the course of their entire working life spanning more than forty years. They are, in short, unlucky dogs. Redistribution of joys and burdens could trigger conflicts between generations. A better solution is to identify and deploy society’s hidden resources. Taking this issue as a basis, the book in hand explores strategies that enable senior citizens and young people to give meaning to solidarity among generations, for a start in 2012 as the European Year for Active Ageing, but also as part of Europe 2020, the European Commission’s 2010-2020 strategy. With these two strategies journalists and television producers will swing into action. In secondary and higher education as well as in universities more papers on life courses and patterns of generations will be written than ever before. Senior citizens’ unions but actually all social organizations will organize lectures. Educated laymen will wish to go deeply into this issue. Henk A. Becker (1933) is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. He has worked on a research project focusing on generations since 1985.

Met de CPS-scriptieprijs bekroont het Centre for Policing and Security jaarlijks het beste Nederlandstalige eindwerk, dat een kritische en vernieuwende blik werpt op een onderwerp dat relevant is op het kruispunt van veiligheid en samenleving. De geheimhoudingsplicht staat onder druk. In de strijd tegen terreur en radicalisering voorziet de wetgever steeds meer uitzonderingen op het beroepsgeheim. De snel veranderende regelgeving roept veel vragen en onduidelijkheden op bij geheimhouders. Moeten of mogen zij melding maken aan politie of justitie van het feit dat hun cliënt radicaliseert? Wat als een cliënt op het punt staat te vertrekken naar IS-gebied? Welke verantwoordelijkheid rust er op geheimhouders om reeds gepleegde terroristische misdrijven te melden? Welke informatie mag er gedeeld worden binnen een LIVC-R? Dit boek biedt inzicht in de manier waarop hulpverleners vertrouwelijke informatie kunnen of moeten uitwisselen met politionele en justitiële diensten ter preventie van gewelddadige radicalisering. Het biedt een heldere leidraad voor hulpverleners en geeft aan in welke gevallen zij een spreekrecht of -plicht hebben en via welke procedures zij informatie moeten delen. Engeland heeft meer ervaring in de bestrijding van terrorisme dan België en heeft een langere traditie van uitzonderingen op de zwijgplicht en procedures inzake informatie-uitwisseling binnen multidisciplinaire overlegfora. Is het Belgische wettelijke kader afdoende en passend? Kunnen er aanbevelingen worden geformuleerd op basis van goede praktijken van Engeland?

Onderzoek van de VN toont aan dat in 2025 wereldwijd dertig landen, het merendeel in het Midden-Oosten en Noord-Afrika, een tekort aan water zullen hebben. Nu al sterven er in ontwikkelingslanden jaarlijks 1,5 miljoen kinderen onder de vijf jaar door ziektes als gevolg van vuil water. Dat is één kind per 20 seconden. Wereldwijd hebben 884 miljoen mensen, het grootste deel in sub-Sahara Afrika, geen toegang tot veilig drinkwater. Momenteel zijn 2,6 miljard mensen verstoken van adequate sanitaire voorzieningen; bijna de helft van hen is genoodzaakt om zijn/haar behoefte in het openbaar te doen. De vraag naar water is de afgelopen decennia zeer sterk toegenomen als gevolg van bevolkingsgroei, veranderde consumptiepatronen en economische groei. De landbouw en industrie zijn wereldwijd de grootste ‘slurpers’ en vervuilers van water, maar zijn tegelijkertijd cruciaal voor ontwikkeling. De toenemende vraag naar water en plaatselijke waterschaarste vormen naast een maatschappelijk probleem ook een economisch probleem; het zorgt voor toenemende productiekosten en bemoeilijkt ontwikkeling.

"Groene herfst" geeft de tegenstelling aan tussen, aan de ene kant, de vooruitgang die de milieubescherming onmiskenbaar heeft geboekt en aan de andere kant de constatering dat er allerlei kwaliteiten van de aarde verloren zijn gegaan. Tellegen beschrijft hoe het hedendaagse milieubesef en het gebruik van de term 'milieu' in de huidige betekenis pas in de jaren zestig van de vorige eeuw zijn ontstaan. Hij behandelt de uitzonderlijke toename van menselijke milieubelasting in de laatste eeuwen, schetst het succes en falen van het milieubeleid en de veranderingen in het denken over milieuvraagstukken sinds die tijd. Tellegen bestrijdt een aantal ondergangsverwachtingen, maar laat zien dat allerlei kwaliteiten van de aarde als gevolg van menselijke activiteiten drastisch achteruitgaan.

Summary: "Backcasting: looking back from a desirable future. Since the 1990s sustainable futures have been explored in backcasting experiments, numerous stakeholders have been involved and first steps have been planned in line with the envisioned sustainable futures. But what is the impact of these so-called backcasting experiments ten years later? Backcasting for a Sustainable Future: The impact after 10 years is the first book that systematically investigates the follow-up and spin-off of backcasting experiments seven to ten years after completion. It presents three case studies about (1) Novel Protein Foods and meat alternatives; (2) Sustainable Households and Nutrition; and (3) Multiple Sustainable Land-use in rural areas. The cases show that participatory backcasting may, but does not automatically lead to substantial follow-up and spinoff. Using innovation and learning theories the factors that affect the emergence of follow-up and new networks are identified and discussed. This book will be of great value to all those who work on sustainable futures and system innovations, such as researchers in system innovations, sustainability and social change, as well as policy-makers, transition experts and backcasting professionals."--Publisher description.
