In this Universe the Earth is the only planet where life is possible. Modernization and industrialization affect nature in 2 ways. Firstly it is extremely destructive of environment in its search for inexpensive biomass-based raw materials and for the opportunities for waste disposal. Secondly modernization is transforming the very character of nature. The tendency is to reduce the diversity in nature and transform it in to high yielding monocultures. India is country with a high level of population density. In the name of economic development often any human activity, which results in the destruction of an ecological space or in its transformation, is justified. Environmental issues were completely overlooked during the first 2 decades of economic development. Government realized the need for environmental protection in early 1970s. Environmental protection was adopted as directive principles of state policy in our Constitution. The protection of environment is also a fundamental duty of every citizen of India. Presently there are about 30 major enactments related to protection of environment being administered by the Central and State Governments. The problems concerning the policies of Government related to environmental protection and the implementation of various laws are discussed in this paper. India’s biggest challenge today is to identify and implement development process that will lead to greater equity, growth and sustainability. To achieve these goals Government policies should be reformed and it is our duty to come forward and make these policies successful.

Development society brings many benefits to people and also brings many challenges. Those challenges seriously affect sustainable economic development, the life and health of all people in society. At present, issues that the whole society has been facing are: hygiene, food safety, environmental pollution, new epidemics, and exhaust of natural resources as well as warming up of the earth... To limit and solve the aforementioned issues, it needs close cooperation and support from all people and enterprises. Every individual, every organization is a part of society. The development of each individual and each enterprise is also the development of society and vice versa. The rise of society will also have a positive impact on each member of it. Therefore, enterprises need to raise awareness about sustainable development and act responsibly with the community and society. It is necessary and useful not only for enterprises themselves but also for the whole society. In this thesis, the author focuses on addressing the following issues: Carrying out social responsibilities associated with environmental protection in order to sustainably develop of Vietnamese enterprises, thereby finding the causes and proposing solutions to help enterprises fulfill their social responsibilities and protect the green, clean and beautiful environment in accordance with the standards prescribed by the Law on Environment of Vietnam in 2014.

Abstract Environmental protection regulations influence the use of real property. Land located within the borders of a national park or nature reserve is subject to partial or total restriction on development by construction, as well as, amongst others, business, trade, manufacturing or agricultural activities. Such areas are also subject to landscape protection, whereby real development by construction is possible, but only under the condition that it does not clash with the landscape values of the area. Therefore, real property management in such areas requires careful coordination with the relevant legislation concerning environmental protection. While it is currently possible to obtain such information from existing environmental protection databases and systems, this has practical problems owing to the large amount of them and their scattered locations. Additionally, as each institution involved in environmental issues has collected material independently, there is a high level of data repetition as well as incomplete data. Such problems make it difficult to make full use of the database systems. A lack of communication and reference between these databases and systems can create confusion. Comparative data on the same subject often differs depending on the source (as concerns graphic presentation and, much less frequently, data attributes). For example, the course of the same river differs depending on which data resources are used (NAŁĘCZ 2007). There are several hundreds of databases and registers maintained in Poland, with almost 300 databases and registers controlled by the Ministry of Environment. Almost 60 such databases can be found in public administrative bodies alone. A portion of the data regarding this topic is openly available on the Internet. The aim of the paper is to present the existing information systems concerning environmental protection. The paper will also examine data obtained from these resources, as well as their availability and connections with real property management activities.

Neither the development of the world economy nor the availability of raw materials can guarantee the stability of economic development and a high level of social welfare. Now Kazakhstan faces the task of accelerated development of national economy sectors that give a multiplicative effect (the share of agricultural products in the country's GDP should grow 5 times by 2050), including the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan has a great potential to become a new driver of economic development. Therefore, the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan needs sustainable development of export-oriented agricultural production that is competitive on the world market. Despite the solution of many theoretical and applied problems reflected in the works of these authors, a General approach to the classification of organizational reserves for improving the efficiency of production of scientific-intensive products is not currently formed, and the issues of forming a mezzanine for identifying and using, and evaluating the level of production efficiency require further improvement. The purpose of the research is to develop theoretical, scientific, methodological and practical provisions for the formation of a production management system of innovative potential based on improving the competitiveness of the agricultural industry, aimed at ensuring food security in Kazakhstan. The article shows that the innovative type of economic development requires the development of a competitive innovative potential product, the implementation of the principles of continuous improvement, the search and use of the organization of production for its effective production. The necessity of forming mechanisms for identifying and using organizational reserves to increase the efficiency of production of innovative potential products is also determined. This opened up the possibility of creating and developing conditions conducive to the mobilization of domestic reserves.

Education is undoubtedly playing an important role in economic development. The overall illiteracy rate in China has been decreasing since 1980 but there are still some areas such as the western region and rural areas that continue to suffer from a high level of illiteracy due to the lack of capital inflow and government funding. This has indirectly affected economic growth and development in those particular areas. The government has launched various plans and policies to overcome or ameliorate the problems of educational and economic inequality, especially in the western region, and with all these efforts the government has been able to successfully reduce illiteracy and to a certain extent reduce inequality at the regional level. However, due to funding inequalities and shortcomings of government policies, education still faces daunting challenges in contemporary China.

By comparing the production indexes of large blast furnaces (BF) in China between the first half of 2019 and 2015–2016, the production status, reductant consumption, raw materials and operation conditions have been reviewed. In the first half of 2019, Chinese large BFs still had made a lot of achievements, but it is also discovered by comparison that not only the raw materials quality but also the large BFs stability have the trend of getting worse, so some work should be done to stop and recover the unfavorable situation. Based on that, the expectations of enhancing the raw materials quality and improving the operation conditions are suggested. Large BFs make great contributions to energy saving, low-carbon, high automatic, environmental protection and economic development, so there will be more large BFs constructed and put into production in China in the future.

This paper is a first step towards articulating a Chinese version of ecological civilization construction (short for ECC). Three major intellectual sources of ecological civilization are identified and the constraints from resources and environment on economic development are emphasized. The concept framework of ECC contains four aspects: the subjects, the objects, the means and the scope. The subjects have five main types: the governments, the entrepreneurs, the families, the NGOs and other mixed ones. The objects involve in various type of ecosystems.The means can be used by education, plan, institution, technology and fund. The scope is stratified five spatial levels: the earth, the nations, the regions, the prefectures, and the communities. Moreover, four paths of ECC are highlighted: resources conservation and saving, environmental protection and improvement, ecological protection and restoration and territorial development and protection.

BRICS e o Meio Ambiente Resumo: Este trabalho situa-se na encruzilhada em que temas pertencentes a áreas aparentemente distintas e incomunicáveis que passaram a se amalgamar de tal sorte que não se pode mais pensar de forma isolada em cada uma delas sem se considerar as repercussões nas demais: meio ambiente e desenvolvimento econômico. Neste estudo, objetiva-se abordar o comportamento de um grupo específico de países, o BRICS (Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China e África do Sul), frente às questões ambientais, sobretudo a difícil conciliação entre seu desejo de alcançar um novo patamar na economia internacional e o respeito às limitações materiais para realizar esse propósito. A fim de analisar a inserção da temática ambiental no âmbito desses países, parte-se da identificação dos principais elementos que envolvem a questão ambiental nos dias atuais para então analisar o comportamento do BRICS frente ao tema, destacando, afinal, a peculiar posição do Brasil. Palavras-chave: BRICS. Desenvolvimento. Meio ambiente. Proteção ambiental. ______ BRICS and the Environment Abstract: This work is situated exactly in the crossroad where subjects apparently belonging to different and incommunicable areas start to blend in such a way that one can no longer think in isolation about each of them without considering the repercussions in the other: environment and economic development. This article has as objective to address the behavior of a specific group of countries, BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa0, when confronted to environmental issues, especially the difficult conciliation between their desire to reach a new level in the international economy and the respect of the material limitations to accomplish it. To analyze the insertion of the environmental issue in these countries, we start with the identification of the main elements surrounding the environmental issue today and then analyze the behavior of BRICS regarding the subject, highlighting, after all, the peculiar position of Brazil. Keywords: BRICS. Development. Environment. Environmental protection.

IntroductionThe employment of resources is important for any aspect of the spectrumof overall development, be it economic or non-economic, spiritual or material.Although spiritual matters seem to be noneconomic in nature, their inculcationand development involve the use of resources. Hence, Allah (SWT) instructsmankind to invest in the development of spiritual values. The spread andestablishment of Islam require travelling, dissemination of knowledge,education, publication of literatw~u, se of media, protecton of Islamic societiesfrom non-Islamic forces (i.e. internal and external defense), administrationof institutions intended for the implementation of Islamic obligations andnorms, and the like. Each of these functions requires tremendous amountsof material and human resources.Economic development comprises two essential components: economicgrowth and equity in the distribution of income and wealth. Economic growthrequires investable resources for producing capital goods, hiring workers andmanagers, acquiring raw materials, improving technology, and organizingthe production process. In particular, capital formation and technologicalchange have been considered as key factors in economic development; theavailability of adequate investable resources is a prerequisite for the smoothsupply and use of these factors.The Islamic code of life provides enormous incentives for mobilizingresources, both material and human, and an institutional framework conduciveto efficient use of resources for development. This paper, which concentrateson mobilizing resources for development, discusses natural, human andfinancial resources, as well as the role of government and internal and externalinstitutions in the development process ...

It is with great pleasure that I inaugurate the Eleventh Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists. I have noted with satisfaction the contribution this Society has made over the years to add to our knowledge about the importance of development economics, and particularly in comprehending adequately the multi-dimensional character of the development process and for framing fruitful policies to accelerate the rate of economic development. Above all, it has given an institutional shape to the meaningful dialogue between professional economists and policy-makers. I am delighted to see such a large number of distinguished economists from all over the world participating in the Society’s deliberations. Only the best results can be expected to come out of such objective discussions about some of the highly topical economic issues of our time. I wish to extend my appreciation to the Society for providing such an effective platform to economists, demographers, and anthropologists.
