ABSTRACT This article is devoted to the critical points in the realization of the ongoing processes of globalization, which outline the problem field for human development and the course of global development processes. The paper comes to conclusions about the emerging responsibilities of society to the processes of global development and modeling of the development of individual geographical regions, in terms of the ongoing global processes at the local level and the implementation of actions in this sphere. An attempt is made to show the processes and phenomena that have a detrimental impact

Abstract:

Chaotic events that might be regarded as proximate causes in triggering war have rarely been considered in the large- N quantitative studies of historical warfare. Furthermore, it has not been fully determined which types of chaotic events, natural disasters or socio-ecological catastrophes, are more influential in modulating the likelihood of wars. This study is based on the incidents of 5368 natural disasters, 1478 famines, 5700 epidemics, 456 nomadic invasions, and 1315 internal wars in the agricultural region (including wheat and rice regions) of China in AD 1470–1911, together with Poisso

Additionally, we investigate the socioeconomic implications of mangrove c

From 2019 to 2022, since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global percentage of hunger rose by 150 million people, which is 10% of the world population. At the same time, one-third of food is thrown away because it cannot reach the final consumer. Climate change, natural catastrophes, wars leading to humanitarian crises are the main and ongoing causes of hunger. COVID-19 acted as an accelerator of processes that exacerbate the food security crisis, to which import-dependent countries are especially sensitive. Quarantine that was introduced as a tool to combat the spread of the COVID-1

English Abstract: The economic damage and loss of lives caused by hurricanes have motivated efforts to expand scientific research related to resilience to these natural phenomena. However, published writings are dispersed and fragmented in different fields of study. This research is aimed to identify factors that promote resilience in hurricane-impacted areas by reviewing specialized literature. The study is qualitative, based on content analysis. Twenty-seven articles published between 2006 and 2019 were reviewed. The results show that resilience has a multidisciplinary character, although th

Due to global climate changes, Earth sustainability issues have become topics of international attention. The frequency of abnormal weather occurrences and disasters around the world has doubled and the health of the environment has been deteriorating, causing catastrophes around the world. All countries must have a prudent response to this situation. The environmental topics debated globally have changed from passive discussions about environmental protection and energy consumption to more proactive dialogues on sustainable cycles and LOHAS.

Abstract:

In Catastrophic Times: Resisting the Coming Barbarism (2015) offers a welcome intervention into the current state of global political impasse and ecological catastrophe. Less a cautionary tale or a series of political injunctions, In Catastrophic Times sets out a clear account of how the ‘cold panic’ induced by looming ecological crises such as climate change is actively produced by the managers of the status quo – those Stengers calls ‘Guardians’. Stengers claims it is the convergence of governance without legitimacy with enclosed knowledges and the cult of expertise that has produced a gener

Abstract:

The work of the Guadeloupian author Maryse Condé is indicative of a highly animist Creole identity. Thus, the belief in a vital force that animates the natural elements is exacerbated through her writing. Nature embodies this refuge with which the Creole man needs to revitalise himself. Modernism is seen as an environmental and identity threat, responsible for having broken the harmony that Antilleans maintained with nature. Natural disasters are perceived by the Condean characters as manifestations of the wrath of the elements, divine entities that they can’t control anymore after losing ance

Abstract:

Adoption of sustainable agriculture innovations is acknowledged to be an effective response to agro-ecological challenges, such as climate change, pests, drought, natural catastrophes, and food insecurity. However, its level of dissemination is still low across the world, particularly in the Global South. There is a need for a better understanding of the adoption determinants of these innovations in order to enhance them. This paper presents a systematic literature review focused on the use of sociopsychological determinants to understand the adoption of sustainable agriculture innovations, co

Over the last few years, Pakistan is experiencing rising instances of climate driven geological waves of unrest, glacial lake outburst, landslides, and droughts causing severe losses not just to the physical environment but to the mental health of its citizens as well. The most critically affected are those youth settled in danger areas who experience increased psychological distress, especially eco-anxiety, a chronic fear of ecological crisis. As global warming is speeding up, knowledge of its psychological effects has become an urgent issue for public health. The purpose of this research is

The argument initially takes an historical and genealogical approach to trace the roots of this framing to ideological misinterpretations of evolutionary theory and ecology, and to the influence of eugenics in the framing of educational policy. The article then uses a systems theory lens to articulate the negative impact of competitive dynamics in global education on an ecosystemic level, focusing on a “deecologization
