Economic development and environmental sustainability are important to mankind. Explores the nature of economics as relevant to sustainable development. Chapter 3. This involves learning from the trappings of historical economic paradigms and engaging with economic instruments/methods as a way of managing and preventing environmental degradation. It's not trying to be a subdiscipline of economics or a subdiscipline of ecology, but really it's a bridge across not only ecology and economics but also psychology, anthropology, archaeology, and history. Ecological economics interprets the environment-economyrelationship in terms of the second law of thermodynamics. Using a hybrid model to evaluate development strategies for digital content. The second law sees economic activity as a dissipative process. It is simple: economic growth is not compatible with environmental sustainability. It covers a range of issues relating to conflicting paradigms of ecology and economics, components of the ecosystem, biogeochemical cycles, population, environment, and sustainability of economic development. This book presents a comprehensive coverage of the role of ecological constraints in limiting the availability of natural resources for economic development. These high growth rates lead to the so-called “youth bulge,” which some experts believe is a cause of social unrest and economic problems such as high unemployment. Technological and Economic Development of Economy, Volume 23, Issue 6 (2017) Original Articles . Ecological sustainability means that, based on a long-term perspective, we conserve the productivity of the waters, the soil and the ecosystem, and reduce our impact on the natural environment and people’s health to a level that the natural environment and humanity can handle. Economic-Environment Analysis: This scope of Ecological Economics is mainly related to the actual economic activities and their impact on the quality of the environment. If we want to maintain economic growth, reduce poverty and save our environment, we must think hard about the choices we make. Pages: 795-809. The eleventh biennial conference of The Indian Society for Ecological Economics (INSEE) will be co-organized with Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIITD). Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): Global percent growth rate of population : The percent growth rate of population in different countries shows that the highest growth rates are in underdeveloped regions of Africa and Asia. What Is Sustainable Development? It follows that social-ecological systems that include a diversity of ways in which people can interact with their environment for their social and economic benefit have a greater range of options in the event of shocks compared to those systems that lack variety, whether they be environmental or economic. Challenges of a Global World Exploring the relationship between tourism economic development and ecological-environmental(eco-environmental) stress is of great significance to promote the high-quality growth of tourism and the sustainable and coordinated development of ecological environment. Economic Growth is often contrasted with Economic Development, which is defined as the increase in the economic wealth of a country or a particular area, for the welfare of its residents.Here, you should know that economic growth is an essential but not the only condition for economic development. The volume presents the basic concepts of ecological study and focuses on the interlinkages between environment and economics. Environment, Economics and Ecology is a unique interdisciplinary degree that advances your critical abilities to tackle real-world environmental challenges, manage economic and social pressures in a sustainable manner, and integrate the benefits that people derive from the environment into policy decisions and practice. Ecologically sustainable development is the environmental component of sustainable development.It can be achieved partially through the use of the precautionary principle; if there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures to prevent environmental degradation. This paper discussed the ecological and economic profile of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China from a past, present and future perspective and analyzed the condition of the natural resources and economic development pattern.
