商品描述

This book is a machine-generated literature overview that explores the interlinkages between communities, both rural and urban, and how they are dependent on natural resources and ecosystem services for livelihoods. With increasing urbanization and changing land use, sourcing food, fuel, and other basic needs from forests and grasslands is turning into a significant challenge, especially in the developing world where they have to balance regional aspirations against the environmental impact and legacy for forthcoming generations. As sources of sustainable livelihoods decline, it affects their ability to overcome poverty. Furthermore, economic impacts on the natural capital can undermine the long-term sustainability of communities, and negatively affect their health and well-being.

To ensure economic growth and sustainable livelihoods, it is imperative to rethink how economic growth and agriculture can reduce their impacts on the natural environment. How dowe integrate economic, social, and environmental aspects into our economy? The book will discuss aspects of sustainable consumption, conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity, and making rural communities resilient to the impacts of climate change. By recognizing the economic value of ecosystem services, decision-makers can better understand the benefits and costs of different land uses and resource management practices and make more informed choices that promote sustainable livelihoods and natural capital conservation. The book will be a great resource for policy-makers, students of economics and sustainable development, non-governmental organizations working in this field, and corporate managers who are responsible for allotting budgets towards corporate social responsibility programs.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是一部機器生成的文獻綜述，探討了農村和城市社區之間的相互聯繫，以及它們如何依賴自然資源和生態系統服務來維持生計。隨著城市化的加速和土地使用的變化，從森林和草原獲取食物、燃料及其他基本需求正變成一項重大挑戰，特別是在發展中國家，這些國家必須在地區發展願望與對未來世代的環境影響和遺產之間取得平衡。隨著可持續生計的來源減少，這影響了他們克服貧困的能力。此外，自然資本的經濟影響可能會削弱社區的長期可持續性，並對他們的健康和福祉產生負面影響。

為了確保經濟增長和可持續生計，重新思考經濟增長和農業如何減少對自然環境的影響是至關重要的。我們如何將經濟、社會和環境方面整合進入我們的經濟中？本書將討論可持續消費、生態系統和生物多樣性的保護，以及使農村社區能夠抵禦氣候變化影響的各個方面。通過認識生態系統服務的經濟價值，決策者可以更好地理解不同土地使用和資源管理實踐的利弊，並做出更明智的選擇，以促進可持續生計和自然資本的保護。本書將成為政策制定者、經濟學和可持續發展的學生、在該領域工作的非政府組織以及負責撥款企業社會責任計劃的企業管理者的重要資源。
