The Impact

Water accounting is a new topic that discusses the impact of environmental changes where the existence of water as one of the most vital natural resources is becoming increasingly scarce. The conceptual framework of water accounting should include the element or value of Ihsan. That is, it is expected that users will be able to implement the Ihsan value in water accounting. The environment is an ecosystem created entirely by God for human life. The value of Ihsan in the conceptual framework of water accounting, especially peatland, requires knowledge of the characteristics, types and distribution of peatland. It is intended that peatland can be utilized and managed sustainably. Implementation of the Ihsan value of utilizing peatland for life without damage. As khalifatullahfilard, humans must be able to maintain a balanced environment and life so that nature remains sustainable.

The Impact

Indonesia is a country rich in resources, especially natural resources, but population growth is not proportional to the availability of natural resources. Malthus predicts that population progress to increase in quantity is greater than the ability of natural resources to provide human food needs. The environment cannot support an infinite amount of life if the earth is no longer able to support the explosion in the number of humans and their activities. Indonesia is a country known as a maritime country, which means it is mostly water and consists of islands. Sea transportation is very important to connect the islands scattered throughout Indonesia. The development of environmental law is urgently needed which cannot be separated from the world movement to give greater attention to the environment. In marine pursuits, such as fishing, excessive fish species using trawlers can lead to extinction. Pollution of the marine environment is a threat to human life, animals, and plants. Increased use of the sea can have a direct impact on the marine environment and the biota in it. The Environment Agency is one of the institutions that play a role in handling the impact of marine environmental pollution in the region. The purpose of this research is to find out the Legal Regulation of Marine Pollution by Tanker Ships in the Riau Archipelago Waters. The aim is to find out what factors are being carried out in handling marine pollution by tankers in the waters, especially in the Riau Islands Environmental Service. It is hoped that this will lead to a better understanding of the environmental impact of marine pollution in the region. The Riau Islands Environment Agency is responsible for compensation for losses caused by pollution of the marine environment by persons or legal entities within its jurisdiction. Each country must cooperate in implementing international law which regulates the responsibility and obligation to compensate for losses due to pollution. The International Maritime Organization is a leading organization in producing various regulations on marine pollution, especially those caused by oil. Keywords: Marine Pollution, Tanker Ships, Riau Islands.

The Arctic region has long been at the center of world politics and economy. One of the reasons for the transformation of the global fringe into a center of attraction for the economic, geo-ecological and geopolitical interests of foreign countries is the Arctic is undergoing dynamic transformations. In the socio-political and scientific research agenda of the Arctic States, there are acute issues of accumulation and exchange of knowledge about changes taking place in the natural and socio-economic environment of a non-standard region from the point of view of management. The Arctic strategies of the Northern European States seek to fill the vacuum about the trends of environmental changes in the Arctic, the impact of natural transformations on the environment, socio-economic development, population security, and the use of natural resources by indigenous peoples. This task is planned to be solved through the development of research activities of universities located in the Far North and in the Arctic zone of Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden, as well as Iceland. The article describes the scientific interests of the Northern European States in the Arctic. Using analytical and comparative methods, the goal is achieved — to characterize universities as one of the parts of their scientific and educational space in the Nordic countries. An attempt is made to answer the question: how does educational and research activities contribute to the implementation of state program documents for the development of natural resources in the Arctic and the use of its spaces? The further direction of scientific research may be to compare the educational and research activities of universities in Northern Europe and universities in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.

Indonesia is a country with abundant natural resources, including those with enough potential, namely the mining sand industry. Mining on a large scale is good for economic growth, but vice versa on the environmental impacts caused. Environmental damage due to exploitation also occurred in Brumbung village, Kediri district. Environmental damage caused by existing sand mining creates problems that must be claimed by all parties. This paper examines how the impact caused by sand mining activities on the surrounding environment. This type of research is descriptive-qualitative, where the research process and understanding are based on the methodology that investigates a phenomenon. To study this problem, observations and questions and answers were made to the miners, the surrounding community and also the relevant offices. The observed location is around the Brantas River where there are sand mining activities in Brumbung Village, Kepung Subdistrict, Kediri District. research in the area is motivated by the phenomenon of the large number of illegal sand mining in the Brantas river, especially in the self-inflated village, which has many pros and cons in the surrounding community. The environment itself is all things, conditions, conditions and influences that are in the space we occupy and affect the things that live, including human life. Population growth has increased the need for clothing, food, shelter, clean water and energy. This results in higher exploitation of natural resources and tends to neglect environmental aspects. Therefore there is a need for research on the study of environmental impacts, both physical and socio-economic activities of sand mining in the berumbung village, in order to obtain an overview of the environmental impacts that occur or will occur. Later this research is to be taken into consideration in making policies related to the problem of sand mining.

The environment is a global problem, in fact it is a humanitarian problem that is so complex that it is handled collectively. Population pollution is getting denser and more crowded coupled with limited natural resources and even the influence of digital media, modern technology which is often used for profit and even exploiting natural resources for personal or group gain, thus reducing the quality of nature. Islam has strong teachings about ethics towards the environment, very devastating events have often been experienced lately, namely floods, illegal logging, forest burning and the most existing ones until now are the Covid-19 epidemic, of course we realize that the impact of These incidents are very disturbing to the sustainability of the human environment. "Besides that, a number of other forms of environmental damage must be a very valuable lesson." Humans have an important influence in the sustainability of the ecosystem and human habitat itself, the actions taken or policies. about the relationship with the environment is clearly very influential for a good environment and human life itself. ”Normatively, religion calls on all humans to preserve and have ethics towards the environment, the relationship between the two is harmonious.

The environment is often regarded as affected by the economic activity. Many studies have attempted to prove the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) phenomenon, but few aimed to look beyond the impact of environmental quality and its contribution to the economic growth. This research aims to fill the gap of the literature. ASEAN is a region which is currently trying to maximize the potential of its natural resources to increase the economy of the region. With the abundance of existing natural resources, it is expected to make the region as a new economic source in the world. Panel data from 10 countries from 1994-2015 was employed to look at the environmental impacts of the ASEAN region on economic growth. Empirical results indicated that population, forest area, and CO2 emissions significantly affect economic growth. Nevertheless, it is suggested to be more prudent in using existing resources to maintain the stability of the economic growth without sacrificing the environment that has the very essential importance in the human life.

Point Of Departure

Abstract The term Anthropocene is often tied to an anxious awareness of the incalculable complexity of anthropogenic environmental changes. As a concept transferred from geology, the term Anthropocene, for humanities scholars such as Timothy Morton (Morton 2013) and Timothy Clark (Clark 2015), installs a crisis in thinking that is bound to scales of mundane and embodied experiences. Instead, they demand thinking about the impact of human life on the whole planet in much broader scales of space and time than is customary. This article examines how contemporary Nordic ecopoetry responds to these environmental changes and challenges in the epoch of the Anthropocene. The point of departure for this work is Silja E. K. Henderson’s 1,7 tipping point (Henderson, Silja E. K. 2018. 1,7 tipping point. København) and Jonas Gren’s Antropocen: dikt för en ny epok (Gren, Jonas 2016: Antropocen: dikt för en ny epok. Stockholm). The article argues that Henderson’s and Gren’s ecopoetry zooms in on micro-levels and out on larger global macro-levels to represent the scale-dynamics of the Anthropocene. Overall, the article argues that this kind of ecopoetry can affect and transform the reader’s ecological imagination.

The Impact

Tremendous technological developments in contemporary world have transformed all aspects of human life. Through interaction with these developments, living spaces should correspond to science and technology and serve to satisfy basic human needs especially safety and security. Due to their geographical and political situation, many countries have been exposed to a variety of natural or man-made threats, and have suffered heavy human and financial losses. For that reason, urban developments should make use of digital architecture products and create fluidity in order to modify human living spaces in correspondence with prerequisites of passive defense, for vulnerability reduction, and expansion of defensive measures in order to create an environment which holds the potential to overcome crises. The present research investigates the benefits of digital technology in formation of living spaces and the impact of approach to flexible urban spaces on mutual interaction between man and environment, as well as the extent to which these transformations create a sense of security and reduce vulnerabilities in urban crises. Fluidity of environment is in paradigm with active human responses to environment. The need for creating an environment safe from risks and threats is the motive behind the approach to flexibility with the use of technological advent. As a part of environment and by relying on computers and geometrical language, technology generates forms which are manifested in all parts and elements of living spaces, thus creating potential and elastic environments. It seems that by creating flexible spaces with the use of digital products, these environmental changes lead to organization of development plans, reduce vulnerability against natural risks and man-made threats, increase efficiency after said threat is realized, and significantly contain the extent and intensity of damages and losses.

The Impact

Humanity’s day to day activities are currently impacting on the natural environment in a way unknown before. Although the destruction of natural resources in times of war is prohibited by the Geneva Conventions, it is currently also happening during periods of peace. The reason for this is the undisputed right to life that humans appropriate themselves regardless of the impact of their acts on the environment. According to Deuteronomy 20 all human life is not of equal value and not necessarily superior to life in nature. Deuteronomy 20 challenges conventional thinking on the subject of human-nature relationships. It is also challenged in Jewish Halachic thinking, the practicality of primitive Eskimo’s attitude towards life and nature, as well as Assyrian acts during war. In these societies the dependence of humans on nature in order to ensure survival, was acknowledged. Currently a paradigm shift away from the anthropocentric attitude towards nature is needed to accommodate the conviction that functionality and potentiality should form part of our philosophy concerning the right to life. A new set of moral rules should be established, taking into account the fact that an endeavour to prolong human life indefinitely should not be desirable because it is to the detriment of nature and thus to humanity itself.

The process of economic development of countries and the set of economic policies in recent decades has been such that environmental challenges have become one of the most important concerns of policymakers. Therefore, it can be important to study the role and impact of government economic policies on environmental quality. The pervasiveness of environmental consequences is one of the factors that make it necessary to examine its various dimensions in a wide range of political actions of governments. Therefore, many country leaders and environmental activists are trying to make policies to improve the environmental situation of their country. Environmental policy refers to commitments on environmental issues by organizing laws, regulations, policies and other political mechanisms. These issues generally include air, water, waste management, ecosystem management, biodiversity conservation, natural resource conservation, wildlife and endangered species. By monitoring human activities, these policies can prevent harmful effects on the biophysical environment and natural resources, as well as environmental changes and their harmful effects on human life. This study examines the environmental policies of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation.
