Economics of Energy Security Perspectives of Natural Gas Exporters

Economics of Energy Security Perspectives of Natural Gas Exporters

There has been a burgeoning interest in energy security in recent years due to the transformation of the energy landscape through deepening market deregulation rising environmental challenges growing energy hunger and significant political changes. Depicting energy security as an evolving concept that absorbs economic and political conditions this book adopts an economic approach to energy security in the international gas market. Uniquely the book explores the theoretical assumptions and practical consequences attached to both demand and supply-side security in global energy markets. It investigates why energy exporters are so protective of independence in energy exports. The book also looks at the critically important issue of environmental aspects of energy security particularly around climate change. It also analyses the potential for a cartel in the international gas market similarly to the oil industry. This book will be of much interest to readers in energy economics energy security energy policy IR/security studies and relevant policy-makers. | Economics of Energy Security Perspectives of Natural Gas Exporters

The Bhopal Syndrome Pesticides Environment and Health

The Bhopal Syndrome Pesticides Environment and Health

First published in 1988 The Bhopal Syndrome documents one of world’s worst industrial disaster: The Bhopal gas tragedy of 1984. The tragedy exposed a variety of issues plaguing rapid development such as the negligence of corporations and government prioritizing of commercial benefits over human lives inadequate post-disaster rehabilitation and compensation and frightening levels of environmental pollution. The author argues that the Bhopal gas tragedy is being replicated across the globe at various intensities facilitating a dangerous normalisation. He asserts that workers and consumers should fight for their ‘right to know’ about working conditions chemicals used in pesticides the harm caused by producing such chemicals how these chemicals end up on our food as well as the manner in which the chemicals interact in our body. Climate crisis and undeterred industrial development still haunt our reality making this book an essential read for any concerned citizen and for students of disaster management industrial disasters climate change environment toxicology and workers’ rights. | The Bhopal Syndrome Pesticides Environment and Health

The Corporatization and Environmental Sustainability of Australian Universities A Critical Perspective

The Corporatization and Environmental Sustainability of Australian Universities A Critical Perspective

Analysing the juxtaposition of two trends in universities – corporatisation and environmental sustainability – this book explores how they are more contradictory than compatible. Hans A Baer argues that this contradiction is unavoidable because of the capitalist parameters in which they operate including a commitment to on-going economic growth which contributes to social inequality environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. Drawing on archival sources and Baer’s experiences in university sustainability forums the book exposes how what universities claim to do in relation to environmental sustainability compares with their research educational operational and institutional activities. Presenting a critique of and a radical alternative to the status quo this book is suitable for academics and students of anthropology environmental studies and higher education. | The Corporatization and Environmental Sustainability of Australian Universities A Critical Perspective

The Climate–Energy–Land Nexus in Indonesia Biofuel REDD+ and biochar

The Climate–Energy–Land Nexus in Indonesia Biofuel REDD+ and biochar

This book extends the framework of the climate-energy-land nexus to elucidate political economic social and institutional factors and causal mechanisms that stringent climate targets bring about rather than mitigate a disproportional heavy burden on the forest sector in Indonesia. Assessing climate energy agricultural forest and transmigration policies and REDD+ and biochar solutions through a multidisciplinary approach ranging from biological agricultural technological economic and institutional lenses the book identifies the political-economic and socio-technical regimes that cause the crosssectoral transfer of responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions to palm-oil-based biofuel imposing an excess burden on the forest sector and accelerating indirect land-use change. It also proposes possible countermeasures for agricultural and forest sectors reconfirming that technical applications and integrated policymaking should trigger the socioeconomic changes that will make transformative change happen in Indonesia. As an analysis of the success or otherwise of stringent climate targets policies and technological and non-technological measures on the reduction of greenhouse gases this book will be of great interest to students and scholars in the fields of environment & sustainability Asian studies energy environment and agriculture forestry and agriculture & environmental sciences. It will also appeal to practitioners and policymakers tackling net-zero emissions and land and forest governance. | The Climate–Energy–Land Nexus in Indonesia Biofuel REDD+ and biochar

Controlling International Shipping and Aviation Emissions Governing the Global Climate Crisis

Controlling International Shipping and Aviation Emissions Governing the Global Climate Crisis

This book assesses the extent to which two specialized UN agencies – the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in London and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal – have been able to regulate environmental pollution in the global commons. Since the Kyoto Protocol and its tasking of these two public International Organizations (IOs) in 1997 to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from the fast-growing international shipping and aviation sectors they have struggled with the assignment even as the external pressure has mounted for them to act. David Deese examines why these two UN agencies have largely failed to execute their critical missions to date and explores the most promising emerging and feasible routes to control and reduce these emissions by other means. Drawing on a range of sources including interviews with key actors in the IMO and ICAO as well as from industry and national governments Deese looks at the multifaceted politics that drive these IOs and considers how this has delayed and frustrated the execution of their assigned climate mitigation missions. He also explains how the limitations of the IMO and ICAO are likely to be found to a degree in other UN specialized agencies and examines how lessons learned here will be helpful in understanding the operations of other IOs. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of global governance and IOs transport and environment and climate change. It will also be a useful resource for industry and non-profit experts and public officials working in shipping and aviation regulation. | Controlling International Shipping and Aviation Emissions Governing the Global Climate Crisis
