Life on Land de Walter Leal Filho

Life on Land: Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Editat de Walter Leal Filho, Anabela Marisa Azul, Luciana Brandli, Amanda Lange Salvia, Tony Wall
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 oct 2020

Apreciem Life on Land ca fiind o resursă enciclopedică de o anvergură rar întâlnită, structurată riguros pentru a aborda integrat complexitatea Obiectivului de Dezvoltare Durabilă 15 al ONU. Metodologia editorială se bazează pe o definire exhaustivă a termenilor și pe analiza țintelor concrete stabilite prin Agenda 2030, de la conservarea ecosistemelor montane până la partajarea echitabilă a resurselor genetice. Organizarea materialului urmează o progresie logică, începând cu bazele evolutive și influențele abiotice, continuând cu practici agricole sustenabile și politici de management forestier, oferind astfel o viziune de ansamblu asupra sănătății planetei. Considerăm că acest volum, publicat sub egida Springer, se distinge prin profunzimea academică a celor 1000 de pagini. Acoperă aceeași arie tematică precum SDG15 – Life on Land – Towards Effective Biodiversity Management, dar cu o abordare mult mai vastă, enciclopedică, ce depășește sfera managementului strategic pentru a include perspective din etica antropocentristă și științele comportamentale. În contextul operei editorului Walter Leal Filho, lucrarea continuă direcția stabilită în Handbook of Sustainability Science in the Future, trecând de la fundamentele teoretice ale sustenabilității la soluții aplicate pentru protejarea habitatelor naturale și stoparea extincției speciilor amenințate. Structura cuprinsului indică o acoperire interdisciplinară vastă, tratând subiecte diverse precum impactul schimbărilor climatice asupra împăduririlor, rolul microorganismelor benefice în agricultură și importanța educației copiilor pentru îngrijirea pământului. Este o lucrare de referință care transformă obiectivele politice globale în concepte științifice și acțiuni practice măsurabile.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această enciclopedie cercetătorilor, decidenților politici și studenților la științele mediului care au nevoie de o bază factuală solidă pentru implementarea SDG 15. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a mecanismelor prin care degradarea terenurilor și pierderea biodiversității pot fi inversate, beneficiind de expertiza unui consiliu editorial internațional de prestigiu într-un singur volum cuprinzător.

Despre autor

Walter Leal Filho este profesor la Universitatea Tehnică din Hamburg, unde coordonează numeroase proiecte internaționale de educație ecologică. Este o figură centrală în literatura sustenabilității, fiind editorul „European Environmental Education Newsletter” și coordonatorul seriei Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Expertiza sa vastă este reflectată în lucrări precum Clean Water and Sanitation și Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security, unde promovează soluții integrate pentru provocările climatice și sociale ale secolului XXI.

Descriere scurtă

The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions, especially but not only in developing countries, intensify. Therefore, there is an increasing need to search for integrated solutions to make development more sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and approved the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. On 1st January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda officially came into force. These goals cover the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.  
The Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals comprehensively addresses the SDGs in an integrated way. It encompasses 17 volumes, each one devoted to one of the 17 SDGs. This volume addresses SDG 15, namely "Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss" and contains the description of a range of terms, which allow a better understanding and foster knowledge.
Concretely, the defined targets are:
  • Ensure the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services, in particular forests, wetlands, mountains and drylands, in line with obligations under international agreements
  • Promote the implementation of sustainable management of all types of forests, halt deforestation, restore degraded forests and substantially increase afforestation and reforestation globally 
  • Combat desertification, restore degraded land and soil, including land affected by desertification, drought and floods, and strive to achieve a land degradation-neutral world
  • Ensure the conservation of mountain ecosystems, including their biodiversity, in order to enhance their capacity to provide benefits that are essential for sustainable development
  • Take urgent and significant action to reduce the degradation of natural habitats, halt the loss of biodiversity and protect and prevent the extinction of threatened species
  • Promote fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and promote appropriate access to such resources, as internationally agreed
  • Take urgent action to end poaching and trafficking of protected species of flora and fauna and address both demand and supply of illegal wildlife products
  • Introduce measures to prevent the introduction and significantly
  • Reduce the impact of invasive alien species on land and water ecosystems and control or eradicate the priority species
  • Integrate ecosystem and biodiversity values into national and local planning, development processes, poverty reduction strategies andaccounts
  • Mobilize and significantly increase financial resources from all sources to conserve and sustainably use biodiversity and ecosystems
  • Mobilize significant resources from all sources and at all levels to finance sustainable forest management and provide adequate incentives to developing countries to advance such management, including for conservation and reforestation
  • Enhance global support for efforts to combat poaching and trafficking of protected species, including by increasing the capacity of local communities to pursue sustainable livelihood opportunities
