Corporate Social Responsibility (hereinafter “CSR”) had emerged as a means to hold companies and organisations accountable for the impact of their actions and operations on society. The idea behind CSR is that Business Organisations generate profits by utilising the community and environmental resources by way of labour and raw material, and so must return at least some part to society by way of quality products, employment generation, and so on. CSR has come a long way from being merely a concept of philanthropy to a mandatory law in India. The paper is an analysis of whether the CSR law has been able to serve the purpose for which it was enacted. It seeks to look into whether or not CSR should have been made mandatory at all. This paper questions the need for a CSR law in India or if it instead works as a mechanism agenda for the government to shift its responsibilities (towards the community) to the corporate sector.

Protecting the green - clean - beautiful living environment is a matter of concern for the whole world. There are many global or regional conferences that have been held to discuss and find a way to solve that problem. In which, climate change, energy depletion and greenhouse effect are hot issues, this is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century because they are directly affecting to ecosystems, environmental resources and human life.

The public interest in justness, equity and fairness in the use of environmental resources between the present and future generations have raised concern about the current depletion rate of environmental resources in Nigeria. Several socioeconomic factors are involved. Worrisome however is the inflow of foreign direct investment and external debt escalation in recent years in the economy. Importantly, we asked, do they contribute to the depletion of environmental resources in Nigeria? In that, we modelled the implications of growth in FDI and external debt on four cases of environmental resources depletion (forestry, solid minerals, fisheries, and crude oil resources productions). The estimated results suggested that though the depletion rate of environmental resources like crude oil depends largely, over the long run and short run, on the movement in FDI inflow, critical to the level of depletion of the forest is the short run effect of external debt. Furthermore, the depletion level of fisheries responds positively only to a change in FDI with a lag in the short run. In terms of solid minerals, we found a long run impact of external debt. Therefore, provided the impact of a rise in FDI and external debt on the depletion of environmental resources is subject to the particular resource and time in Nigeria, selective policies based on the FDI and external debt management is appropriately adequate to control the level of depletion of environmental resources in Nigeria for the benefit of the future generation.

The resources and services being public open the discussion about their redistributive justice. That is the differences between governors and governed orient community self-management or state management, discarding socio-state co-management as a balance between the parties. In this way, the objective of the study was to model the dimensions of justice for sustainability, considering a review from 2019 to 2021. A structure of five dimensions was found that explained the research discussion, suggesting the approach of tariff policies as regulators of environmental resources and sectoral demands. Thus, justice for sustainability is a central category in the conflict between public administration and users.

Zero waste is an idea demanding a change in the way we think about and function in the environment. It points out that human activity should be connected with the responsibility for how we live and what consequences our actions have on the planet. The idea behind zero waste is to minimize the amount of waste and reuse it, as well as not to waste purchased products. Due to the fact that we use environmental resources, it is worth remembering that everything we buy and then use becomes waste. Therefore, the emphasis on changing our habits and lifestyles is so important, but what matters the most is to reduce excessive consumerism.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic had unprecedented impacts on tourism worldwide, causing a major downturn in sectoral economic development and employment. Even though affected regions, businesses and customers are united in their hope of a rapid recovery, a return to business-as-usual is not desirable from an environmental perspective. The COVID-19 pandemic could, however, also be an opportunity for sustainability-oriented transformations in various segments of the tourist industry. A concept that has received growing attention in sustainability science and policy but that has not yet been applied to tourism may have a significant future potential here: the Resource Nexus. As a consistent and application-oriented framework for the integrated management of environmental resources, the Resource Nexus can be a model for advancing sustainability in tourism. Instead of looking at a single dimension only, the Resource Nexus considers environmental resources in a holistic way, including potential synergies and trade-offs between different development goals. This can ultimately support a transition not only to more sustainability, but also to greater resilience of the tourism sector against environmental changes.

Les savanes soudaniennes sont caractérisées par les groupements d’arbres utiles protégés, organisés en vergers ou en parcs. Ces ligneux conduisent à un retour remarquable à la physionomie originelle des divers faciès de végétation profondément modifiés à travers l’apparition et la chute de leurs feuilles, fleurs et fruits. On peut alors s’interroger sur le rôle de ces phases phénologiques dans la restauration des milieux transformés par l’activité anthropique. Cette étude vise à montrer le processus de régénération des milieux transformés par l’homme à partir des cycles phénologiques des ligneux épargnés par les défrichements. Elle contribue à améliorer la capacité des communautés rurales à planifier et à gérer durablement les ressources environnementales en savanes soudaniennes. Elle repose sur le postulat d’une restauration des faciès des milieux végétaux modifiés à partir de la dissémination du stock au sol des organes des diverses espèces protégées. L’analyse des stades phénologiques de ces espèces ligneuses est effectuée à partir de relevés réalisés tous les 15 jours du début de la saison sèche à la fin de l’hivernage. Les résultats indiquent que leurs recrûs verts, à partir des fruits disséminés ou des racines, permettent la reconquête ligneuse des milieux abandonnés à la jachère. The sudanese savannahs are characterized by useful protected species of trees, organized in orchards or parks. This woody stand involves remarkable modifications of the physiognomy of the different facies of the vegetation by appearance and fall of their leaves, flowers and fruits. We can therefore wonder about the role of these phenological modifications in restoring the environments modified by humans. This study aims to show the process of regeneration of environments transformed by humans from the phenological cycles of the ligneous species spared by clearing. It contributes to improving the capacity of rural communities to plan and sustainably manage environmental resources in the sudanese savannahs. It is based on postulate of a restoration of facies of transmormed plant environments from dissemination of the stock on soil of the organs of the various protected species. The phenological stages of these woody species are analyzed on the basis of surveys carried out every two weeks from the start of the dry season to the end of the rainy season. The results show that their green regrowth, from scattered fruits or roots, allow the woody reconquest of environments abandoned to fallow.
