Este artigo teve por objetivo analisar o planejamento e gestão das áreas verdes como parâmetro qualitativo da boa governança. Para realização da pesquisa, foi considerada a melhoria da qualidade ambiental do espaço urbano, decorrente do processo da implantação da Agenda 21 Local. A pesquisa adotou o método qualitativo, tem como procedimento a construção empírica (na forma de Estudo de Caso), tendo recorte analítico, um estudo de caso na Estância Turística de Tupã – SP e o recorte temporal, a análise da gestão administrativa no período de 2001 a 2016. Como resultado, verificou-se que durante a gestão de 2005/2008 foram identificados os requisitos necessários (participação popular + tomada de decisão) para caracterizar a governança, em decorrência de um processo de implantação da Agenda 21 Local. Fato este que se refletiu no desenvolvimento de 30 projetos de áreas verdes públicas, que resultaram na implantação de 8 espaços (praças, jardins e parques), reurbanização de 1 uma praça e a revitalização de 15 praças e jardins.

Zrównoważony rozwój jako droga harmonijnego rozwoju, bez ograniczania szans na zaspokojenie potrzeb rozwojowych przyszłym pokoleniom, został wskazany po raz pierwszy w 1987 r. przez Światową Komisję do Spraw Środowiska i Rozwoju. Przesłanką zrównoważonego rozwoju było powiązanie rozwoju gospodarczego i społecznego z ekologicznym przy zachowaniu jakości życia w czystym środowisku. Założenia zrównoważonego rozwoju zostały określone na forum ONZ (Agenda 21), które w okresie 30 lat są weryfikowane i aktualizowane (Agenda 2030). Koncepcja zrównoważonego rozwoju od początku była adresowana do przedsiębiorstw, chociaż ze względu na duży poziom ogólności proces implementacji przebiegał powoli. Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju jako paradygmatu we współczesnym zarządzaniu przedsiębiorstwem. Dyskusja założeń i interpretacji koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju na poziomie makro- i mikroekonomicznym umożliwiła identyfikację celów i kryteriów oceny zrównoważonego rozwoju przedsiębiorstw. Ewaluacja celów i dokonań zrównoważonego rozwoju przedsiębiorstw pozwala uznać go, za paradygmat współczesnego zarządzania.

Agenda 21

En el Taller Internacional en Educación Ambiental de Belgrado en 1975, se hace  énfasis en el aspecto de educación ambiental y en 1992 en la Agenda 21 de la ONU, se reorienta el sentido de educación ambiental hacia el aspecto de desarrollo sostenible, sin atentar contra la salud y bienestar de las especies vivientes.  Se hace urgente que los profesionales de la salud se eduquen en aspectos ambientales para hacer más eficiente sus actividades de promoción y prevención; es indispensable la orientación por parte del médico en lo referente a la prevención de enfermedades respiratorias, como las IRA (infección respiratoria aguda) la cual es responsable de alrededor de 3,5 millones de muertes anuales y  tiene relación con la contaminación del aire en espacios abiertos y en viviendas, como también con la exposición a olores irritantes y alto contenido de materiales suspendidos en el aire.  La conexión entre educación ambiental y salud, como se propone en este trabajo, debe orientarse a reforzar programas de información y educación que vayan encaminados a mejorar las prácticas y actividades de las personas, con el fin de evitar incrementos en la incidencia de muertes a causa de IRA.

Despite substantial improvements over the past 23 years in many key areas of sustainable development, the world is not on track to achieve the goals as aspired to in Agenda 21, adopted in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, and reiterated in subsequent world conferences, such as the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in Johannesburg in 2002. While there have been some achievements in implementing Agenda 21, including the implementation of the chapters on “Science for Sustainable Development” and on “Promoting Education, Public Awareness and Training”, for which UNESCO was designated as the lead agency, much still remains to be done. This decade had seen the idea of a “green economy” float out of its specialist moorings in environmental economics and into the mainstream of policy discourse. It is found increasingly in the words of heads of state and finance ministers, in the text of G20 communiqués, and discussed in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication. The research paper focused to establish a relationship between sustainable development and green economics. The research paper is descriptive and analytical in nature. The data collected from secondary sources such as report from niti aayog, IMF indicators, RBI reports, newspapers, journals. The research design was adopted to have greater accuracy and in depth analysis of the research study. The statistical tools for the analysis are also being used.

According to the IPCC WGII Fourth Assessment Report, more than 89% of observational data series and studies are consistent with the greenhouse gas change, which is produced from human activities, as a response to global warming. In the previous point, the tourism and leisure industry is regarding as the non-smokestack industry. However, with an increase of leisure and tourism activities, the carbon dioxide emission and energy use have been growing. Recognizing these risks, the Agenda 21 for the Tourism and Travel Industry promulgated by the World Travel and Tourism Council, the WTO and the Earth Council addressed energy consumption as a key issue of concern. The buildings are a major part of the leisure industry. Therefore, this work aims to investigate the energy use and carbon emission of a hotel building, located in the middle of Taiwan, for four seasons. The consumption generated from each visitor activating in the building also were conducted. The results will be used as a reference for further investigations into the reduction of energy use and carbon emission in the leisure buildings. By investigation of proposed carbon neutral model, the willing price to pay is highly larger than both of the shifted and non-shifted prices. Most people has always inclined to pay for self-related GHG emission. Green development and sustainable operations in the leisure industry should be attended because the real costs of a green building are less than you think.

This paper presents the outcome of an inventory of planted wetland systems in the UK which are classified according to land use type and are all examples of sustainable drainage systems. The introduction of constructed wetlands to treat surface runoff essentially followed a 1997 Environment Agency for England and Wales report advocating the use of “soft engineered” facilities including wetlands in the context of sustainable development and Agenda 21. Subsequently published reports by the UK Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA) have promoted the potential benefits to both developer and the community of adopting constructed wetlands and other vegetated systems as a sustainable drainage approach. In addition, the UK Environment Agency and Highways Agency (HA) have recently published their own design criteria and requirements for vegetative control and treatment of road runoff. A case study of the design and performance of a constructed wetland system for the treatment of road runoff is discussed. The performance of these systems will be assessed in terms of their design criteria, runoff loadings as well as vegetation and structure maintenance procedures. The differing design approaches in guidance documents published in the UK by the Environment Agency, CIRIA and HA will also be evaluated.

Agenda 21

Este artigo discute os conceitos de participação e empowerment em Promoção da Saúde e Desenvolvimento Sustentável, considerando as agendas de implementação local, Municípios/Cidades Saudáveis e Agenda 21, e a importância dos processos de avaliação nesse contexto, por meio da análise de uma intervenção em área de mananciais - o Programa Bairro Ecológico (PBE), desenvolvido em 51 bairros do município de São Bernardo do Campo, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. O estudo teve por objetivo avaliar os processos de participação e empowerment da comunidade, a partir das ações desencadeadas pelo PBE. Foram aplicados questionários e realizados grupos focais com moradores de bairros que sofreram a intervenção. Também foram realizadas entrevistas individuais com gestores do programa e do poder judiciário. Os resultados indicaram que a participação na implementação do PBE favoreceu o empowerment individual e grupal, presente nas duas comunidades estudadas. As comunidades tornaram-se mais organizadas. Há indícios de que os processos de tomada de decisões são centralizados. Apesar disso, as comunidades entendem que sua participação no programa lhes traz muitas coisas boas. Houve um processo participativo no desenvolvimento do programa, ainda que alguns relatos apontem para o caráter obrigatório da participação. Deve-se destacar o impacto do envolvimento e fortalecimento das lideranças na implementação e sustentabilidade do programa. No que diz respeito a esta última, verificou-se que a sensibilização ambiental tem sido fator determinante para a execução e manutenção das ações ao longo do tempo.

Limited Opportunity

AbstractFor many children across the globe, whether in low or high income nations, growing up in the 21st century will mean living in overcrowded, unsafe and polluted environments which provide limited opportunity for natural play and environmental learning. Yet Agenda 21, the Habitat Agenda and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child all clearly articulate the importance of urban environments as the context for supporting children's sense of place, community identity and empathy with the natural world. I will argue in this paper that these attributes are all key drivers for supporting children in their role as future decision makers and environmental stewards. Extending Winnicotts' concept of “holding environments” beyond the social and cultural aspects of communities as sites for placemaking I draw a link to the value of botanical gardens and other green spaces in cities as the “holding environments” for children's environmental learning. I will construct an argument around the premise that to participate in, and contribute to, global sustainability - our children need places and the opportunity to engage, connect and respond to nature.
