A Trade-off Between Economic Growth and Environment Sustainability

Climate change has been a troubling environmental issue for years. Environmental, which includes climate change, has been ranked top five global risk of 2017 in a recent report by World Economic Forum (WEF 2017). The incentive to resolve or reduce the deterioration process has been set out by many countries across the world. Environmentally speaking, reducing emissions plays a crucial role in slowing the deterioration process which in turn, improves the environment condition. However, by reducing emission and other means can negatively impact the economy in terms of production and output. Thus, this can limit countries’ economic growth especially for emerging markets. To further understand the impacts, this paper seeks to answer the research question: how does fulfilling the Paris Agreement inversely impact emerging market’s economic growth especially for top emission emitters in Asia? To answer the question, this paper would examine relation between emissions and economic growth in quantitative term. In addition to quantitative analysis, case studies of specific emerging market countries would be included as well.

Analysis of the presence of sustainability in Higher Education Degrees of the Spanish university system

This paper analyzes the extent to which sustainability is present in the curricula of the 16 Education Degree programs belonging to the EDINSOST project: 6 Early Childhood Education Degrees, 7 Primary Education Degrees, 2 Pedagogy Degrees and 1 Social Education Degree. The results obtained suggest that sustainability is present in all Degrees, but not uniformly so. A great disparity is observed in the number of subjects that develop sustainability, with an average of 22.63 subjects per Degree. The competency most present is the ‘ Application of ethical principles related to the values of sustainability in personal and professional behaviors, ’ while the least present is ‘ Sustainable use of resources and prevention of negative impacts on the natural and social environment. ’Sustainability is not developed uniformly in the different universities either. Three universities (UAM, UCA and UIC) develop sustainability competencies at 100%, while others such as the USAL do so at only 50

Environmentally Sustainable Issues in Philippine Agriculture

Farming and fishing are major sources of livelihood in rural households in the Philippines. Farming systems in the country are complex, multi-faceted, and geared to promote efficient production and a steady source of income. However, these have also wrought unwanted consequences on the environment, notably soil erosion, water pollution, groundwater depletion, loss of natural habitats, and loss of biological diversity. Farming systems are affected by exogenous environmental factors; in turn, the farming systems also affect agricultural production resource bases. Initiatives from various sectors to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts of farming systems and to protect the agricultural production bases are in place in terms of policies, programs, and action projects.Philippines, agriculture, environment, sustainability
