Book Description

In the global pursuit of equitable progress, the empowerment of women emerges as not merely an ethical imperative but a pragmatic necessity. The imperative of women's economic empowerment finds resonance throughout history, woven into the fabric of social movements, policy reforms, and economic progress. From the suffragette movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries to the landmark conventions on women's rights and development in the latter half of the 20th century, the trajectory of gender equality has been marked by both triumphs and trials. The 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing stands as a watershed moment, galvanizing global commitments to women's empowerment and setting forth an ambitious agenda for action. Subsequent milestones, including the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, further underscore the intertwined nature of gender equality and sustainable development. Over the years though the researchers, academicians and government have tried to find ways and means for economic empowerment of women many aspects of women economic empowerment-entrepreneurship and innovation, work place equality, global partnership etc are yet to be completely resolved. Little attention has been paid to the above aspects by the researchers, policy makers and development planners. The present volume titled “"Economic Empowerment of Women for Sustainable Development" containing 32 papers covers different aspects and issues related to economic empowerment of women and sustainable development. It is an initiative for shedding light on the pivotal role women play in fostering sustainable economic development. The main themes with the volume covers are: financial inclusion, education skill development, technology and digital inclusion, leadership, decision making, policy and advocacy. The volume will provide women’s input and health for the academicians, researchers, policy makers and government officials.

Book Description

In today's rapidly evolving world, the digital learning gap presents a significant challenge, impacting the effectiveness of education and the development of essential skills for future generations. Traditional teaching methods often fail to meet students' diverse needs, leading to a skills gap between current and future workers. Additionally, the ambiguity in defining concepts such as the "heap paradox" and the inadequacies of traditional economic measures like GDP highlights the need for more nuanced and comprehensive approaches to education, environmental psychology, and sustainable development. Inclusive Educational Practices and Technologies for Promoting Sustainability offers a multifaceted solution to these pressing issues by exploring the transformative potential of Educational Technology (EdTech), the insights of environmental psychology, and the importance of holistic measures of human welfare. By showcasing how EdTech can bridge the digital learning gap, enabling teachers to employ diverse strategies and better meet students' needs, we demonstrate its potential to revolutionize education and support the growth of the next generation. The book also delves into the paradox of the heap, where logic, vagueness, and philosophy complicate our methods of thinking. It illustrates the complexities of everyday concepts and their relevance to environmental psychology while advocating for a deeper understanding of the human-nature relationship.

Book Description

Amidst growing awareness over the past half century that human activity threatens our natural environment, many of the world’s largest cities have played a role in the sustainability movement, as seen by such initiatives as Day of Cities sponsored by the United Nations. And now local governments in towns and smaller cities are beginning to play a more prominent role in the green movement. This book, inspired by the author’s own experience as a citizen activist and local candidate, is a guide for local governments and citizens wishing to launch sustainability campaigns and programs that make a lasting difference in our world. Alexandra Reed Lajoux addresses the popular "green city" topic but focuses on smaller municipalities, which are more numerous than big cities, and in greater need of guidance. With a visionary foreword by Ben G. Price, National Organizer, Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund and author of How Wealth Rules the World, the book discusses the most critical environmental, economic, and engineering realities of municipal life and leadership in our times, ranging from rights of nature, to rollback tax rates, to green infrastructure, to gentrification. It will appeal to a broad range of town or city government employees and elected officials, as well as local activists, contemplating the issues of managing and funding sustainability that all localities worldwide face at some level.
