Sustainable development is finding better ways for doing right things for both future and present. We might need to change the way we work and live now, but this doesn’t mean that you should reduce the quality of your life. A sustainable development approach can bring many benefits in the short to medium term, for example: Savings – As a result of SDC scrutiny, government has saved over £60m by improving efficiency across its estate. Health & Transport – Instead […]
CHAPTER I 1. Introduction Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept that has acquired a new character in the global economy. “With the advent of globalization, managers in different contexts have been exposed to the notion of CSR and are being pressured to adopt CSR initiatives” (Jamali and Sidani, 2008; 330). Therefore, even more corporations are increasing conscience about the importance of matching their own interests and the interests of society by taking responsibility for the impact of their activities […]

Get help with your assigmentSustainability keeps up with the wellbeing and biocapacity of the climate. Sustainability upholds the prosperity of people and networks. Sustainability advances a superior economy where there is minimal waste and contamination, less outflows, more positions, and a superior dispersion of abundance. Think about where people and society infer their prosperity. Numerous individuals believe that the wellbeing of the economy is vital and that individual and social prosperity gets from that. This isn’t correct. While the economy exists to help the […]
The concept of Sustainable Development in the current political climate has gone beyond environmental pollutions. It now encompasses issues in trade, finance, technology just to mention but a few. But this essay concentrates on environmental pollutions as this is a global phenomenon. During the course of compiling this essay, we have examined how the UK is using the legal framework to protect the environment through the use of legislations and standards. Great emphasis is laid on climate change although other […]
Gender equality is a fundamental human right which in Fraser’s (2013) words, requires the realization and recognition of all human rights including livelihoods, integrity, dignity, well being, and access to food, water and sanitation. Gender equality and sustainability nexus can be understood by acknowledging positive impacts of women on sustainable development and how slow progress on sustainable development restraints gender equality. (OECD, 2019) Lisa Segnestam, (2018) states that, inequalities in resource distribution, rights and responsibilities has designed power relations in […]
Introduction The World’s current approach to ocean policy and sustainable maritime development is based on two main International strategic foundations: UNCLOS and UNCED. Both if integrated they provide the basis for oceans governance and oceans policy frame work. They enable states to exercise and protect National’s sovereign rights and jurisdiction over marine resources and offshore areas. At the same time they obligate states to ensure ocean uses are ecologically sustainable. The implementation of the provisions of UNCLOS, related Conventions, rules […]
Abstract Sustainable urban development is promoted as a desirable strategic objective and, in particular, urban authorities are encouraged to contribute to environmental impact mitigation through urban planning. Many cities around the world have developed sustainable urban development plans for leading their urbanization process towards a desired status of urban sustainability. Thus, developing tools and indicators for measuring the progress towards sustainable or unsustainable urban development requires quanti?cation with the help of suitable sustainability indicators. Indicator-based approaches contribute to the building […]

Introduction If one considers the most profound changes in the social and physical conditions attached to human existence, one would have to suggest that the land use dimensions, including the shift to sedentary agriculture, the Industrial Revolution and large-scale urbanisation, are the most significant. However, it is important to understand that land is more than a mere material base. Indeed, Gladwin et al (1995) described land as a diverse, contradictory property with both social and cultural meanings that are mixed […]
Multinational company (MNC) is a multinational corporation that functions with a headquarters in the origin of that country, while having other facilities and assets that are based in location of other countries. Multinational Corporation that operates in different countries provides technology, marketing skill and finance capital for a more profitable market in return. Many host countries have impose regulation which gives them a portion of share in profit, market and also jobs which is generated by multinational corporation in that […]
Nigeria is a country that is endowed with abundant natural and human resources, but consumed with the delusion of oil wealth. Prior to the discovery of oil in the 1960s, the Nigerian economy was largely dominated by agriculture and mining. However, this is no longer the case due to the heavy dependence of the country on oil as a major foreign exchange earner, and a source of income. In the effort to diversify the Nigerian economic base, successive governments and […]
1. Describe the issue and clearly state the problem or challenge We are seeking a method for the reintroduction of the masked bobwhite in such a way that would cause the species to recover from near extinction. Since the species may be functionally extinct from the Southwest United States (Brown and Clark, 2017) we will be challenged with the monumental task of determining what factors play a role in the survival of this species. The stakeholders for this project range […]
As the global population continues to grow exponentially there are many new stressors put on the environment, the producers, and the general public. These three categories are the pillars of sustainability, and without balance between them there is instability racing through and challenging everyone’s way of life. As we have seen throughout past years, there has not been balance and the divide between developed and developing nations continues to grow, which is one indication for potential environmental apocalypse or the […]
The University of San Diego has already made its commitment of reaching zero waste by the year 2020. That means that at least 90 percent of campus waste will be averted from landfills or incineration. The college grounds has already been working its way toward their final goal by integrating themselves into innovative programs all for food waste elimination, as well as to help students who struggle with food insecurity at the same time. UC San Diego has already instituted […]
Discuss about differences between non-renewable and renewable resources and give at least two examples for these resources. Non-renewable and renewable resources differentiate in the name itself. Renewable, meaning that it is a source you can use over and over. Non- renewable means you cannot, and these resources are very limited. Things like coal and oil are a one-time use and are harmful because of the toxins they release when used. The world is trying to switch over to renewable resources, […]
For a long time, solar power has often been viewed as only affordable to the wealthy in most countries despite the fact that the source of solar energy is free; from sunlight. Most states have aimed to make the solar power equipment more affordable and accessible to help reduce the costs of living among the citizens. In America, the current average cost of a solar-electric system is half as compared to the expense in 2010. The use of solar panels […]
China’s energy production intensely depends on coal and while there are a lot of pros that come with coal, there are also a lot of cons that are so significant that it has to be changed. In China because they have a big coal supply, nearly 80% of its power generation originate from coal (ChinaFAQs). This has a lot different factors. This essay is analyzing different factors of why Solar Energy is the best source of energy production in China. […]
According to Encyclopedia, We use solar energy to save money even though it is expensive to use the sun’s energy. Solar energy is the most abundant renewable energy source that is still useful in the United States today. The reason to why it’s abundant is because the sun comes up every day and it generates from the light. Although it is expensive to have heating through thermal energy, it’s useful for long periods of time until the sun runs out […]
Sustainability is founded on the principle that both our well-being and survival is dependent, directly or indirectly to natural environment. For instance, human beings require air, water, and food for their survival. However, they massively exploit natural wealth, for example, fossil fuels to meet their needs and improve their living standards. The sustainability is spearheaded by critical concerns regarding the impacts of an increase in human population, economic growth and development and utilization of the natural resources. Natural resources were […]
In Turkey, the installed power generation and energy consumptions countrywide have reached to about 44 GWe and 106 million TOE correspondingly. Even though the geothermal energy constitutes a small contribution, also in the same situation it was to be included in the energy portfolio as one of the local supply (Ozgur, 2008). Therefore, the discussion below explains why the Aydin-germencik has a very high hydrothermal potential. The high hydrothermal potential is as a result of the country having more than […]
In 2018, a greater demand for renewable energy is encountered. Renewable energy sources are desirable as they do not have a finite limit or can be recycled, unlike fossil fuels. The main source of energy that has been used since the Industrial Revolution has been the burning of fossil fuels, which produces greenhouse gases. The emission of greenhouse gases has played a major part in human-caused climate change. As our energy demand grows and our climate continues to change rapidly, […]
Using wind as the primary source of energy you have to supply yourself with electricity is interesting to think about. After some research though, I have found that wind energy can be used in very effective ways. There are many ways that wind energy has been proven to be better than other forms of obtaining and using energy. Wind energy is a great source of energy that should be used more in the future. Here are some ways that using […]
Online petitions, forums for debating issues and the usage of social media for recruiting peo-ple for protests are some examples how political organisations, non-governmental organisa-tions or social movements are using new digital technology to engage citizens and influence political processes (Rohlinger, Bunnage & Klein, 2012). Traditionally, civil society activism has been framed on the idea and ideal of ‘collective action’, lead and coordinated by these professional organizations by pressuring politics or companies to make structural change (Bennett and Segerberg, 2012).

Uganda has registered recent successes in rice production making it a potential rice basket for Eastern Africa (Africa Rice Center, 2013). The remarkable rice boom in Uganda is attributed to good farming practices, premium market prices, and favorable policies that have stimulated large private investment in the rice sector over the last few years. As a result, paddy production jumped from about 120,000 t in 2002 to more than 220,000 t in 2011 (Africa Rice Center, 2013). Rice husk (RH) […]
Recycling is a common talking point in modern times as environmental factors become more and more pertinent in the political and social conversations. Many times, we do not consider the consequences, negative or positive, that come from our actions, even if we think we do. This is the same with recycling. Since recycling is never questioned, it only gains a positive reputation. Though recycling can certainly gain some negative looks, it is important to recognize that each is possible. With […]
The EPA said that 75% of the American peoples waste are recyclables, but we only recycle about 30% of it. Some might say that the recycling economy is dying and that it will cost United States citizens more money; however, the recycling industry will keep streets and oceans clean which keeps plastic out of both. Mandatory recycling programs would be too expensive and cause financial hardship for some municipalities. The recycling industry is slowly going to not exist there for […]
Environment Protection Environmental modification is as old as the history of human development. In the last century, development and modification have come much faster then ever before. While it took a few thousand years for man to pass from Paleolithic to Neolithic tools, it has taken less than a century to modify conventional weaponry to nuclear devices. Development has been so rapid that nature has not had time to adapt to these changes and to human requirement and greed. The […]

Problem Specification If everyone on the planet were to consume natural resources and generate carbon dioxide at the rate we do in the UK, we would need three planets to support us. Sustainability is becoming a central concern for all of us. It is a concern that has grown out of wider recognition that rising populations and economic development are threatening a progressive degradation of the earth’s resources. The construction, maintenance and use of housing impacts substantially on our environment […]
