Abstract:

Global civilisation, and therefore population health, is threatened by excessive inequality, weapons of mass destruction, inadequate economic and political theory and adverse global environmental change. The unequal distribution of global foreign exchange adjusted income is both a cause and a reflection of global social characteristics responsible for many aspects of these inter-related crises. ¶ The global distribution of foreign exchange adjusted income for the period 1964-1999 is examined. Using data for more than 99% of the global population, a substantial divergence in its distribution is

Abstract:

The need for sustainability (or sustainable development) is widely recognised, and the case for it rarely disputed. There is a particular need for action within the construction industry because of the nature and scale of its activities. Commentaries and statistics on the impacts of the industry abound. Nevertheless there continues to be confusion about the application of sustainable development to construction and the built environment.

Abstract:

By the 1990s a research base had developed articulating the principles of sustainability, but there remained a need for work which analysed the implementation process and the implementability of sustainability in particular policy areas. The Rio UNCED conference (1992) had articulated concerns that all levels of governance should operationalise the principles of sustainability into deliverable actions. Whilst critics (e. g. Galtung et al., 1995) have challenged the legitimacy of these global pronouncements, there was nevertheless an expectation that Local Agenda 21 (LA21) might facilitate tran

This thesis examines the current state of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in relation to its explicit aim of Sustainable Development (SD). The argument developed is that with increasing levels of theoretical and practical interest in Strong Sustainability (SS), the current, largely retrospective model of SEA, and its application need to be re-envisioned. The thesis therefore improves this existing model of SEA to ensure greater sensitivity to concerns for stronger sustainability. The new model is referred to as Strategic Sustainability Development (SSD). This model is tested against t

Abstract:

If human societies are to sustain over the long-term, we must manage human societies and our products, including settlements, to work within the context of a living environment. While conventional practice in neighbourhood planning has made advances in acknowledging the importance of sustainability in the built environment, it generally does not acknowledge fundamental ecological concepts such as the ecology of sites, global ecological productive carrying capacity or the dynamic nature of a living, rapidly eroding, biophysical environment. This thesis articulates the need to acknowledge the ec

Abstract:

Drastic reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are needed in order to mitigate the effects of climate change. The European Union (EU), a leader in climate change mitigation, has adopted an ambitious strategy to achieve its mitigation goal. A piece of this strategy is the Renewable Energy Directive. The Directive establishes mandatory renewable energy targets for member states. Cognizant that in order to achieve the target of 10% of final energy consumption in the transport sector member states would have to rely heavily on biofuels, the EU, in the spirit of sustainable development, inclu

Abstract:

Many research studies have investigated the role of the principal in implementing change. Despite the information gleaned from those investigations, principals continue to struggle with initiating, implementing, and sustaining change in their schools. Guiding this narrative inquiry study were theories related to principal leadership, educational change theory, and the theories associated with school culture, with the intent to understand the experiences of principals as they initiated, implemented, and sustained change in their schools. This study explored the challenges and successes principa

Abstract:

In 1999, the officials of the Nigerian and Sao Tome & Principe’s governments embarked upon delineating their maritime boundary. They discovered that the two nations’ maritime boundary overlapped as a result of establishing their Exclusive Economic Zone; and this area of overlap was found to have enormous hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon resources. Several meetings and negotiations ensured and the area of overlap designated a joint development zone. The aim of the research is to evaluate the viability and effectiveness of implementing the recently published Transboundary Waters Assessment Progra

Abstract:

Continued water scarcity, flooding, pollution and urbanisation, especially in developing countries, have signified the necessity of renewed exploration of the most appropriate approach to water management. This approach should aim to meet the water requirements in the changing world in a sustainable way. Reviewing the different water approaches that have emerged in the developed countries during the last decades suggests that Adaptive Water Management (AWM) could provide a sustainable route to address the existing complex problems of urban water management through the future.

Abstract:

The climate, the environment and sustainability work are in more focus than ever. With the growing interest in sustainability work, new opportunities with data, and technological progress, opportunities—but also challenges—are created. These new possibilities give market analysis companies an opportunity to foster sustainability work for the better. It has been shown that an important part of successful sustainability work is to communicate it externally to reap competitive advantages. The purpose of this study is to create a greater understanding of what companies that are perceived as sustai

Abstract:

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the leadership practices of principals who sustain professional learning communities. The study was conducted using semistructured interviews with 2 elementary school principals from a noted professional learning community district in Henderson, Kentucky. A Professional Learning Community Assessment Survey was completed by the teachers in both elementary schools. Photographs of each school and a review of school documents triangulated the research of these 2 professional learning communities. In interviews the principals described their role
