Resumo O livro didático tem sido um instrumento empregado de maneira quase unânime, mas nem sempre é aproveitado de forma criteriosa no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar as questões ambientais sobre a Educação Ambiental (EA), as mudanças climáticas, o desmatamento, a poluição do ar e da água nos livros didáticos do 6º ano das escolas municipais e estaduais de Jataí (GO). A metodologia consistiu em Silva (2004) para analisar os conteúdos ambientais nos livros didáticos, considerando os conteúdos abordados, a concepção de natureza, a consistência e as lacunas. Como resultado, o tema EA não é tratado em nenhum dos livros. O livro do município expressa uma visão ambiental nos alunos ao contemplar os temas propostos para a pesquisa. Já no livro do estado, percebe-se que as questões ambientais são discutidas com quantidade insuficiente de atividades, figuras, gráficos e textos contextualizados sobre os impactos ambientais e que estimulem a conscientização dos alunos. Dessa forma, os livros dão apoio para que o professor possa trabalhar suas aulas de forma interativa com os alunos, visando o aprendizado deles, levando-os a uma visão crítica das questões ambientais, considerando as sugestões dadas para abordá-las com maior aprofundamento. Palavras-chave: livro didático, ensino de geografia, Jataí (GO).   Abstract The textbook has been an instrument used almost unanimously, but it is not always used in a judicious way in the teaching-learning process. The objective of the research was to analyze the environmental issues on Environmental Education (EA), climate change, deforestation, air and water pollution in the textbooks of the 6th grade of the municipal and state schools of Jataí (GO). The methodology consisted of Silva (2004) to analyze the environmental contents in the textbooks, considering the contents covered, the conception of nature, the consistency and the gaps. As a result, the EA theme is not covered in any of the books. The book of the municipality expresses an environmental vision in the students when contemplating the themes proposed for the research. In the state textbook, we can see that environmental issues are discussed with insufficient amounts of activities, figures, graphs and texts contextualized on environmental impacts and that stimulate students' awareness. In this way, the books provide support so that the teacher can work his classes in an interactive way with the students, aiming at their learning, taking them to a critical view of environmental issues, considering the suggestions given to approach them with more depth. Keywords: textbook, geography education, Jataí (GO).   Résumée Le manuel a été un instrument utilisé presque à l'unanimité, mais il n'est pas toujours utilisé de manière judicieuse dans le processus d'enseignement-apprentissage. L'objectif de la recherche était d'analyser les questions environnementales sur l'éducation environnementale (EE), les changements climatiques, la déforestation, la pollution de l'air et de l'eau dans les manuels scolaires de la 6e année des écoles publiques et municipales de Jataí (GO). La méthodologie a consisté à Silva (2004) pour analyser le contenu de l'environnement dans les manuels scolaires, compte tenu du contenu couvert, le concept de la nature, la cohérence et les lacunes. Par conséquent, le thème EA n'est couvert dans aucun livre. Le livre de la municipalité exprime une vision environnementale chez les étudiants lors de la réflexion sur les thèmes proposés pour la recherche. Déjà dans l'état du livre, il est clair que les questions environnementales sont discutées avec des activités insuffisantes, des chiffres, des graphiques et des textes contextualisées sur les impacts environnementaux et à améliorer leur prise de conscience des élèves. Ainsi, les livres apportent un soutien afin que l'enseignant puisse travailler de manière interactive vos classes avec les élèves, dans le but de leur apprentissage, les menant à une vision critique des questions environnementales, en tenant compte des suggestions données pour les traiter avec une plus grande profondeur. Mots-clés: manuel scolaire, enseignement de la géographie, Jataí (GO).

Incessant floods and deluge, sudden droughts, tsunami, continuously warming up of the weather, asthma, allergy, breathlessness, time and again, remind of severe problems taking place in our environment. Air pollution and water pollution have kept on baffling us over a period of time since long ages. Initially the advanced countries went for uncontrolled industrialisation ignoring their aftermath on the environment. Dangerous gases mounted up in the environment increasing the pollution in air as well as in water. Not only was it in CO2 and CO mounting up to the above dangerous level but slowly and steadily, damaging the ozone layer too thereby, permitting the ultraviolet rays to reach to the human civilization. Afterwards, the underdeveloped nations have also been following the same path of industrialisation, thereby, adding up to the already preserved prolonged diseases of environment. The developed countries blame developing nations for the pollution issues and greenhouse effect. And the underdeveloped countries cross blame the developed ones for the same. Overall, the environmental issues have come up as the most important issues for the survival of the mankind if the suitable step is not taken to preserve the climate and the environment. Government and the industries have to join hands to combat this menace. This paper proposes to discuss the reasons for the environmental problems and the possible solutions to combat them specially global warming and the climate change.

Sustainable Economic Growth

The 2018 Nobel Economics Prize was awarded to two American economists - William D. Nordhaus and Paul M. Romer - who designed methods for better assessing environmental issues and technological advances on growth. This year’s Laureates, Nordhaus was the first person to create an intergrated model to assess interactions between society and nature and Romer laid the foundation for what is now called endogenous growth theory. According to the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences, these two macroeconomists’ research have helped “significantly broaden the scope of economic analysis by constructing models that explain how the market economy interacts with nature and knowledge” which integrates climate change measures into long-term sustainable economic growth.

Cumulative Risks

In 2019, the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Everest expedition successfully retrieved the greatest diversity of scientific data ever from the mountain. The confluence of geologic, hydrologic, chemical and microbial hazards emergent as climate change increases glacier melt is significant. We review the findings of increased opportunity for landslides, water pollution, human waste contamination and earthquake events. Further monitoring and policy are needed to ensure the safety of residents, future climbers, and trekkers in the Mt. Everest watershed.

The implementation of nature-based solutions (NBSs) can be a suitable and sustainable approach to coping with environmental issues related to diffuse water pollution from agriculture. NBSs exploit natural mitigation processes that can promote the removal of different contaminants from agricultural wastewater, and they can also enable the recovery of otherwise lost resources (i.e., nutrients). Among these, nitrogen impacts different ecosystems, resulting in serious environmental and human health issues. Recent research activities have investigated the capability of NBS to remove nitrogen from polluted water. However, the regulating mechanisms for nitrogen removal can be complex, since a wide range of decontamination pathways, such as plant uptake, microbial degradation, substrate adsorption and filtration, precipitation, sedimentation, and volatilization, can be involved. Investigating these processes is beneficial for the enhancement of the performance of NBSs. The present study provides a comprehensive review of factors that can influence nitrogen removal in different types of NBSs, and the possible strategies for nitrogen recovery that have been reported in the literature.

Environmental Objectives

The challenge of global climate change requires a radical change in our understanding of environmental issues, for its causes are linked to our dominant development model and its impact is significant at the grassroots level. Addressing energy production and consumption remains at the heart of any feasible solution. In this article, I define energy management (EM) as a systemic and systematic endeavor to optimize energy use through engineering and management tools in order to achieve political, economic, and environmental objectives. I also discuss what underpins EM’s ethical dimension, focusing on sustainability, and critically analyze the Islamic perspective to elaborate a value-based, universally acceptable, realistically applicable, and objective environmental ethic. By using EM as a vehicle toward sustainability, hence addressing climate change, I evaluate the outcomes of such a radical change in our understanding of environmental issues. I conclude by investigating whether a difference in vision with regard to faith and the hereafter can hinder a common engagement. Evidence is also sought from relevant specialist studies by non-Muslims, in which such Islamic principles as ordering the good and prohibiting the evil, ijmā‘, istiḥsān, istiṣḥāb, or istiṣlāḥhave been implemented to a given extent in all but name.

Experiences Of Women

This booklet narrates the stories of five female journalists from Pakistan who are working on environment- and climate-change-related issues. Women are being disproportionately and adversely impacted by climate change and female journalists are uniquely placed to understand and share their stories. However, these journalists are ‘missing in action’ from the media in sharing their experiences of environmental activism and climate action. The publication covers a range of challenges journalists face, from limitations on mobility and harassment, to gender-based discrimination in media houses. It highlights why environmental issues sometimes make headlines while remaining dormant at others.

In the last fifty years, empirical evidence has shown that climate change and environmental degradation are largely the results of increased world population, economic development, and changes in cultural and social norms. Thus far we have been unable to slow or reverse the practices that continue to produce more air and water pollution, soil and ocean degradation, and ecosystem decline. This paper analyzes the negative anthropogenic impact on the ecosystem and proposes a new design solution: ecomimesis, which uses the natural ecosystem as its template to conserve, restore, and improve existing ecosystems. Through its nonintrusive strategies and designs, and its goal of preserving natural ecosystems and the earth, ecomimesis can become an integral part of stabilizing and rehabilitating our natural world at the same time that it addresses the needs of growing economies and populations around the world.
