Ecology and Human Well-Being presents some of the latest developments in research in interdisciplinary traditions of ecological economics in India. This volume outlines strategies and policies that can be adopted to ensure ecological sustainability.
Containing both methodological and empirical essays, the book covers a number of critical issues including ecological and social resilience; ecosystem services and quality of life; policy reform for sustainable development; governance and ecosystems; valuing changes in the ecosystem; and communities and collective action. Overall, the contributors maintain that it is essential to rethink the criteria used in the design of development processes in order to avoid committing ecological blunders. The book focuses on the need for bridging the knowledge systems of ecology and economics and, as such, will be of interest to researchers, environmentalists, economists, and development practitioners. |
