West Bandung Regency is a developing district in West Java, Indonesia.  As a developing city, the industrial sector is one sector that has a large share of Regional GDP in this district, which is 39%. On the other hand, based on the concept of sustainable development, the calculation of Regional GDP or Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) has not paid attention to aspects of resources depletion and environmental degradation. Therefore, Regional GDP is difficult to measure the business benefits of the industrial sector in the concept of sustainable development. This paper introduces concept of green Regional GDP and its contribution to regional income. This paper analyzes the value of depleted resources and degraded environments in the region, from 2015 to 2017. Resource depletion is focused on depletion of water resources. Whereas the degradation that occurs is focused on congestion and damage to water resources due to industrial waste. The industrial sector Green Regional GDP has resulted in a reduction in Regional GDP of 1.17% in 2015, 1.12% in 2016 and 1.06% in 2017. Therefore, an appropriate policy is needed in overcoming this problem, especially reducing environmental damage, namely reducing congestion and reducing environmental pollution in order to achieve sustainable development. Keywords: Sustainable development, Depletion, Degradation, Water, Congestion, Damage

Steep Decline

One major concern that has emerged in the post-globalization period is climate change. Given that pollution and environmental degradation is a public bad, the adverse change in the climate of one region will have ubiquitous effect and therefore will hamper the process of sustainable development across the globe. There are substantial links between international trade and environmental issues – one being that of the perverted comparative advantage which evolves mainly out of the neglect of environmental damage caused by productive activities. In this chapter, an attempt has been made to build a theoretical framework related to intra-industry trade with production differentiation based on the environmental quality of the goods and price to address how liberalization of trade happens to affect the environment of the trading nations. The study shows a steep decline in the environmental quality of the good that was relatively cleaner under autarky while a meagre improvement in the environmental quality of the relatively dirtier good. Hence, it is revealed hereby how trade alters the nature of international inequality in the environmental quality of the productive activities.

AbstractPoverty and environmental degradation are two of the gravest issues facing the planet today. The most obvious means of addressing each issue, however, appears ostensibly to undermine the other. While environmental and development strategies are largely associated with the concept of sustainable development that emerged in the 1990s, the debate between these two interests dates back to the 1940s. This article seeks to fill an apparent gap in environmental scholarship by presenting a history of the environmental protection/development relationship. It will argue that, rather than being the product of an organic development process, the concept of sustainable development and the principles underlying it were consciously shaped by a number of international actors with vested interests in their trajectory. Understanding why and how this was permitted is important not only for its capacity to throw light on the past, but also for its ability to assist in understanding and predicting the future.

The objective is to calculate the value of the green industrial PIB of a foundry in the territory of Santa Catarina and to contextualize its importance as a new methodological tool. To legitimize the objective of this study, the green GDP equation is equal to the Gross Sales Revenue (Industrial GDP) - (Depletion of Water Resources + Cost of Environmental Degradation). In this context, the depletion of natural resources corresponds to the total value of the extraction of water resources, and the cost of sectoral environmental degradation is given through the proxies of the methodology of the Industrial Pollution Projection System (IPPS) applied directly to the industrial product sector. estimate of the cost of the industrial sector studied here. Methodologically, it is an exploratory, descriptive, explanatory, bibliographic, documentary and ex post facto study. As a result, the green GDP of the foundry was lower than the industrial GDP in all the surveyed years. It is noticed that the industrial economic activity of the foundry, within these parameters of analysis, signals a loss of future sustainability, taking into account the years investigated. Therefore, in order for this particular industry to reverse this scenario, investments in technologies are necessary, in order to minimize the consumption of natural resources and consequently maximize its green GDP.

The rivers and their watersheds are fundamental elements of socioeconomic activities. In this article, we analyze the hydrographic basin of the Acaraú River, situated in the northeast of Brazil, from its geoenvironmental aspects, based on the perspective of the geosystem. In this perspective, a geoenvironmental picture of the hydrographic basin in question is presented, as well as the environmental problems that characterize it, postulating the need to carry out this type of survey to define the basin as a fundamental planning unit. The Acaraú River basin has particular characteristics, since it is located in a poor and extremely populous semi-arid region, which results in socio-environmental stress, whose main consequence is the environmental degradation of the fluvial course. The regional authorities need to be aware of the geoenvironmental elements raised in order to reverse this framework of socio-environmental degradation of water resources and to allow territorial growth based on sustainable development.

Green Banking adoption has gained momentum in the past few decades in both the developed and developing economies. The green movement in the banking sector has been triggered due to its potentially adverse role in global natural environmental degradation and natural resource depletion. A number of banking operations have the potential to harm the natural environment, both directly and indirectly. Due to this, many countries have started working on greening their banking sectors. Pakistan is among the top countries threatened by climate change, environmental degradation and resource depletion. The country is currently at the initial stages of Green Banking adoption. This case study follows the Green Banking adoption journey of Pakistan’s banking industry in light of the obstacles faced, milestones achieved and the learning outcomes for the other developing countries struggling from environmental degradation. This case study can serve as a learning tool for the regulatory authorities and other concerned stakeholders of developing economies in need of Green Banking adoption.

ABSTRACTThis paper studies the interactions between harvesters, whose income depends on a renewable natural resource as a key factor of production (e.g., fisheries) and industries that can have important impacts on the renewable resource, but whose production does not depend on it (e.g., off-shore oil extraction) in the context of a growing economy. We examine these issues for a closed economy focusing on how the co-existence between these two sectors affects sustainable development and the well-being of the poor, i.e., the harvesters. We show that under certain conditions the existence and expansion of a resource-impacting industrial sector may be consistent with sustainable development. However, if these conditions are not met, growth of the resource-impacting sector leads to further resource depletion and may even threaten the feasibility of sustainable development.

And Function

The history of development of the concept of ecological design (or eco-design) is described, and key influences and antecedents are introduced. Seven principles of ecological design are advanced: (1) the need to meet the inherent needs of humans and their economy; (2) the requirement to sustain the integrity of the structure and function of both natural and managed ecosystems; (3) the appropriateness of emulating the inherent designs of nature in anthropogenic management systems; (4) the need to make progress to a sustainable economy through greater reliance on renewable resources and more focus on recycling, reusing, and efficient use of materials and energy; (5) the use of ecological economics (or full-cost accounting) to comprehensively take resource depletion and environmental damage into consideration and thereby address issues of natural debt; (6) the need to conserve natural ecosystems and indigenous biodiversity at viable levels; and (7) the desirability of increasing environmental literacy to build social support for sustainable development, resource conservation, and protection of the natural world. Examples are presented of the recent application of the principles of eco-design to the planning and management of human communities, industrial parks and networks, architectural practice, and products. The principles and practices of eco-design have much to contribute to the urgent need to make rapid and tangible progress towards a sustainable human economy. Key words: ecological design, eco-design, sustainable development, community planning, architecture, industrial park, green products, biological conservation.
