Its objective is to examine recent trends in banking and sustainable development, as well as to assess the implementation and application of the sustainable development policies adopted by the banks in the banking sector in Republic of Macedonia. For that purpose it is made a comprehensive analysis on the trends of “sustainable finance”, as well as research on the practices in the Macedonian banking sector in supporting sustainable society. Namely, at the beginning of the 21st century, the banks in the industrial world have become complex financial organizations that offer a wide variety of services to international markets and control billions of dollars in cash and assets. Supported by the latest technology, banks are working to identify new business niches, to develop customized services, to implement innovative strategies and to capture new market opportunities. By means of their financing policy, banks can then take specific measures to contribute to sustainable entrepreneurship. As the analysis indicates, with few exceptions bank policies in the West Balkans are lagging significantly behind relevant international standards and best practices. Until recently, most Macedonian banks did not consider environmental and social concerns to be particularly relevant to their operations. Today, however, the integration of sustainability into the banking sector of Macedonia has taken two key directions: Support the environmental and social responsibility through financial contribution in environmental initiatives and socially responsible initiatives Integration of environmental and other sustainable development criteria into lending and investment strategy of the banks Therefore, the paper reviews the environmental and social policies of the selected big and medium sized banks in Macedonia, as well as policy and the practices if the specialized promotion bank-Macedonian Bank for Development Promotion.

Protection of ecological land significantly promotes the sustainable development of society, the economy, ecology, and regional ecological security. The present research used Yixing city as a case study area, which is located in the southern part of Jiangsu Province. Firstly, following previous research into the relationships between ecological land use classification and current land use classification, the vector data for ecological land were acquired from the current land use vector data for Yixing. Secondly, the landscape security pattern theory and the model of minimum cumulative resistance were used to construct a comprehensive landscape security pattern after systematic analysis of the soil and water conservation, biodiversity protection, vernacular culture protection, and natural landscape protection processes related to ecological land. The overall landscape was then classified into four grades. Finally, the comprehensive landscape security pattern and the current ecological land maps were overlaid. The current ecological land areas were classified into lower, low, middle, and high security pattern levels, and these areas covered 50528.29 hm2, 69942.53 hm2, 34777.44 hm2 and 2335.07 hm2, respectively, which accounted for 32.07%, 44.38%, 22.07%, and 1.48% of the total ecological land area, respectively. In the lower security pattern level ecological land, forest land and cultivated land, located in the southern hilly area, were the priority use types. In the low security pattern level ecological land, cultivated land, and water surrounding the city were the priority use types. In the middle security pattern level ecological land, water and cultivated land that was away from the city were the priority use types, and in the high security pattern level ecological land, water that was located far from the west bank of Taihu Lake was the only land use type. This study makes recommendations for improving ecological land based on the condition of the different land use types found in the ecological land areas. Identifying the landscape security pattern levels for ecological land and giving priority to protecting ecological land are the main approaches used to expand ecological land in urban construction areas in regions that are undergoing accelerated urbanization. This study provides scientific guidance that will aid urban sustainable development decision making, and land use planning and management in Yixing. It also provides scientific methods for ecological land planning that could be used in other areas with similar land conditions. 参考文献相似文献引证文献	[ { "display_name": "Acta Ecologica Sinica", "id": "https://openalex.org/S60589374", "type": "journal" } ]

One hundred and twenty (120) maize farmers randomly selected from eight (8) villages were interviewed using structured questionnaire. Data from the study were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution, percentages, and inferential statistics such as multiple linear regressions. The study found that most maize farmers in the study area were small scale farmers and are full time farmers, the major maize production constraints was poor access to credit facilities. it was also found any unit increase in the quantity of any of the resources used for maize production will increase maize output by the value of their estimated coefficients respectively , however to raise maize production, the study recommend that financial institutions such as agricultural and community banks should be established in the study area with the simple procedure of securing loans. The relevant government agencies and nongovernmental organization should mobilize the maize farmers to form themselves into formidable group so that they can derive maximum benefit of collective union.

This research uses Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method of analysis which results are expressed in the form of sustainability index. The result of the index of sustainability using approach Rapid Appraisal of Dairy Cattle Breeding System yielded the value of 55.09. Based on these values, the sustainability index of dairy cattle breeding system in Padang Panjang City is categorized as “quite sustainable”. An increase in the value of the sustainability index can be done by improving the 15 sensitive attributes of 45 attributes of the system’s sustainability assessment. Analysis of dependency between factors using prospective analysis resulted in 7 (seven) key factors influencing the development of dairy farming system. The key factors are: (1) milk price, (2) feeding capacity, (3) feed industry, (4) utilization of livestock waste, (5) job socialization, (6) development of cooperative, and (7) microfinance (bank/credit). In order to improve the sustainability status for the future (long term), the scenario that needs to be done is a progressive-optimistic scenario by making a thorough improvement on all the sensitive attributes in enhancing the status of the region.

Since this problem affects all of us everyone ought to participate in its solution. The speed with which tropical rainforests in West and Central Africa are disappearing is alarming - almost 2 million hectares of tropical forests are lost each year. If we do not begin to halt the destruction of these forests in the near future, it may become too late to preserve them. The cost of this loss will be enormous for mankind and for the environment. While the underlying causes of deforestation are usually attributed to factors external to forests-such as policies and institutions, this report takes an integrated approach, examining the subject matter within the context of the larger context of development. The report looks at the beneficial role of forests, the affect of deforestation on climate change in Africa, the role of women, deforestation and sustainable agriculture, forest use and exploitation, the participation of local communes and nongovernmental organizations, the role of public coordination among interested stakeholders, coordination between Africa and the rest of the world, research and statistics, and the role of the World Bank in supporting policies of sustainable forest development.

A mathematical simulation using Delft3D was created to represent the new development. Three interconnected grids with different grid sizes were created and then the domain decomposition technique was used to represent piles with small sizes inside the large grid. Model was calibrated using field data such as hydraulic measurements, water levels and discharges. It was concluded that there was no effect of the proposed development on water flow in the main channel of the Nile River except in the places close to the corniche on the west bank at the minimum discharge condition after the implementation of Bani-Suif corniche, which does not affect the sustainability of the project.

Initial, and still dominant, discussion of these flows and the destination hubs was a somewhat caricatured portrayal of the toxic transfer to “digital dumps” in the South of the refuse resulting from overconsumption in the North, giving rise to e-waste trade bans as accepted solutions to the problem. More recently, scholars have considered the tensions between the economic gains and environmental efficiencies of processing e-waste in the South and the health and environmental risks it poses, especially to the local communities. To date, however, little work has explored the development desires of e-waste dependent communities nor strategies to transform informal e-waste hubs into sustainable and clean industrial sectors formally integrated with e-waste management systems from exporting countries. This dissertation addresses this knowledge gap by conducting a Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology on one instance of North-to-South e-waste trade between Israel and the West Bank from June 2014 – December 2015. Based in the West Line informal e-waste hub in South-West Hebron, West Bank, this dissertation describes a PAR method that worked with the West Line community to articulate an improved e-waste industry and implement tangible initiatives to achieve it. The participatory process revealed that this long-term informal e-waste hub has grown economically dependent on imported e-waste, and in contrast to mainstream solutions that seek to ban North-to-South e-waste trade, the local community articulated a development trajectory to regulate and transition this industry in an equitable and environmentally-friendly manner. This dissertation is divided into five components: an introduction, three manuscripts, and a conclusion. The introduction begins with a broad overview of the e-waste literature with a focus on geographer’s contribution to this field, followed by the specific objectives and research questions that guided this dissertation. I then provide the geopolitical context of the Israel-West Bank e-waste economy along with a description of the PAR method that guided this research. The first manuscript describes the PAR approach carried out in the West Line community to upgrade the social and environmental conditions of the West Line e-waste hub. This approach contributed to the critique of “rapid participatory development” and the search for ways to recover its initial goals, detailing a unique adaptation of the Delphi-method that allowed the facilitation of a broadly endorsed development trajectory within a heterogeneous and conflicted community. The second manuscript details a multi-method study that triangulates information from over 300 qualitative interviews, field observations, and structured interviews from a systematic stratified randomized sample drawn from all operating e-waste businesses in the West Line. This study uncovered an e-waste processing industry that imported 16,958 – 25,168 tons of e-waste in 2015, creating 381 enterprises, 1,098 jobs, and USD $28.5 million gross value added to the national economy. This study not only reveals the magnitude of a largely hidden industry, but also details an adaptable method to analyze the quantities of e-waste flows and economic gains of analogous informal e-waste processing hubs. The third manuscript employs a dis/articulations perspective to analyze the inclusionary and exclusionary impacts of Israel’s new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy and subsequent creation of a regulated e-waste commodity chain. Through a detailed historical analysis of the West Line e-waste industry, I reveal the geopolitical and economic forces that delinked this region from an economy dependent on Israeli employment and subsequently linked it to the Israeli e-waste commodity chain. This manuscript challenges conceptions of “extended” and “responsibility” in EPR laws to integrate pre-existing e-waste economies into regulated e-waste commodity chains. The conclusion reflects on the PAR process to achieve the West Line communities articulated goal of regulating a local e-waste industry and the levels of friction encountered by various Israeli and Palestinian stakeholders that control or influence this industry. I extend findings from this study to challenge international e-waste policy to incorporate the voices of e-waste dependent communities in the South as a moral compass to determine how to best manage transboundary e-waste trade.

But the west of China locates in a very special zone, the ecological environment is very fragile. It becomes an urgent problem to pursue sustainable development for ecological environment and how to ensure economic development meanwhile in the west. Based on the analysis of ecological environment in the west, we extend the thought of “three circle pattern” for sustainable devclopment of ecological environment in semi-arid area, which proposed by professor Zhang Xinshi and has been demonstrated in Ordos plateau to whole the west of China in order to instruct the environment development in the west of China. We also give some suggestions in media development, enforcing the role of Bank, education organizations, agroforestry sciences and technological research, private consultants, establishing farmer organizations etc. in order to enforce the software and policies development for exploitation in the west in China.

Supported by several international organizations (World Bank, ICCROM), the Culture Bank initiative embodies the paradox of cultural heritage and development projects torn between the local and global scales, and between local communities and international organizations. Exported into Togo and Benin after 2007, these banks reveal the unexpected results of international programs (e.g., World Heritage listing) on local initiatives. They also highlight fundamental misunderstandings between the French actors engaged in cultural heritage protection and those involved in sustainable development in West Africa. Ultimately, their case raises questions about the disappearance of the ‘Southern State’ as an interlocutor for funding partners.

The sustainable development of the economic zone requires the improved our understanding of the current status of ecological landscapes and their changes in the past within the region. The target of this study covers 143440 km2 in area, including 9 cities in Fujian Province, 3 cities in Guangdong Provinces, and 1 city in Zhejiang Province within the economic zone on the western bank of Taiwan Straits. We quantified landscape pattern metrics with land use and cover (LUC) data derived from the Landsat TM imagery acquired in 2000 and 2005 and from HJ-1 imagery acquired in 2010. We computed changes in landscape pattern and performed statistical analysis with the SPSS program to determine driving forces for the landscape dynamics. Our results indicated that the area of agriculture land, wetland, and grassland was decreasing due to the expansion of urban land area between 2000 and 2010. The most noteworthy decrease in area was observed in agriculture land, whose area was reduced by 14.0%. At the same time, the area of urban land increased by 38.6%. The values of largest patch index (LPI) decreased for all the LUC types except for urban land, which underwent a steep increase from 0.1 to 0.4 in LPI. Urban land became the dominant landscape element in 2010. The values of landscape shape index (LSI) slightly increased for all the LUC types except for agriculture land, which experienced a sharp decrease from 325.1 to 315.9 in LSI. The values of mean patch area (Area_MN) varied slightly for all the LUC types except for forestland, which showed a noticeable increase from 560.6 to 787.6 in Area_MN. We choose the economic factors and policy factors to analyze what drove the landscape dynamics in the economic zone on the western bank of Taiwan Straits from 2000 to 2010. We found that the two factors jointly contributed to the landscape dynamics in the study area. The growth in human population and the reduction in agricultural land represented the major conflict for the economic zone. The future economic development on the western bank of Taiwan Straits will be more sustainable if the continuous shrinking of agriculture land is under control in the region. At the same time, ecological resources need to be improved, environmental-friendly development should be encouraged, and long-term strategic planning needs to be enhanced. 参考文献相似文献引证文献	[ { "display_name": "Acta Ecologica Sinica", "id": "https://openalex.org/S60589374", "type": "journal" } ]

Since the 1970s, South Pacific small island states have committed themselves to policies of tuna industry domestication, but serious doubts have emerged as to whether these can deliver improvements to the well-being of Pacific peoples. An alternative policy approach has been suggested by development economists that would see Pacific Island nations largely abandon direct involvement in the industry and return to collective efforts to secure reasonable access fees from distant water fishing nations that take the majority of the region's tuna catches. This article argues that one reason that this policy shift has not been taken is that tuna industry domestication policies remain bound up within the influential discourse of “resource nationalism.” It is contended that any movement toward a more environmentally and developmentally sustainable ocean fisheries policy will require close engagement and transformation of this sovereignty-focused narrative.

ESG`s core concept and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 help spread this west evolved concept to developing countries. Nepal, a developing country in need of foreign funding, seems to have succumbed to green finance practices as it has become one of the fundamental goals of key economic players such as the World Bank and the IMF. This qualitative research tried to explore the present positioning of Nepalese commercial banks regarding incorporation of the concepts of green finance in their financial planning, decision making and operation by collecting data through seven semi structured interviews with commercial bankers. Findings are analyzed under different themes i.e. understanding of green finance, common green finance practices and challenges faced while implementing it. This study concluded that green finance being a nascent concept is superficially understood, is practiced just to meet the minimum NRB guidelines, has economical and operational constraints, and needs rational amendments in guidelines for local acceptance yielding desired outcomes.

A survey of twenty-seven (27) of these institutions in six districts across the Upper West and East regions show that they have evolved fair and elaborate mechanisms for operation and management water points at the community level. The mechanisms instituted have ensured successful management of pumps-pump sites, routine management and pump site cleanliness-resulting in overall improvement in water supply and general community development in pump communities the two regions. Despite these achievements, the majority of PMCs keep no adequate records on their operations. They also operate no bank accounts. It is also worth noting that although elaborate levy systems have been instituted by PMCs and this may explain why many pump sites are in disrepair in the two regions. To sustain the achievement made so far by PMCs, it is recommended that the District Assemblies inculcate the culture of participatory decision-making, revenue mobilization and saving as well as records keeping in PMCs in the Upper West and East Regions.

In Ethiopia, bamboos are established on the waterway bank and territory region to safeguard the streams from various defilement and soil protection. Bam-boos reaping can remunerate the financial misfortunes of agrarian yield because of water shortage. Bamboos are great soil fastener because of presence of stringy root foundation and subsequently assume a significant part in soil and water protection. It has the potential for compelling carbon sequestration, subsequently assisting in countering the emanation of ozone harming substances, a worldwide temperature alteration and environment with changing. It additionally brings down the power of light and shields from destructive UV radiations. Planting of bamboo lines in east-west bearing diminishes conceal impact, in this way decline the dirt and air temperature and sun oriented radiation, which straightforwardly impact the dirt water vanishing and moistness. Leaves of bamboo were used as fod-der, for animals. So bamboo based agroforestry plantations can be grown extensively in river bank and terrain areas of Ethiopia to boost the socio-economic conditions of farmers and ecological sustainability. Here, we reviewed the potential socioeconomic and environmental benefits of bamboo agroforestry and accentuate implications on sustainable rural development in Ethiopia.

To identify trends and directions of development of ESG-agenda of the Russian banking sector in the new geopolitical environment. Objectives. To analyze the reaction of the Russian banking sector to the promotion of ESGagenda by the West in the pre-sanctions period and the change of priorities after the introduction of large-scale financial and technological sanctions for Russia; to determine the required transformation of business strategies and risk management systems; to propose additional measures of support from the state to increase the priority of sovereign technologies in the implementation of ESG-transformation and the development of a competitive national system of standards. Methods. The authors applied a mixed method of analysis, combining qualitative and quantitative data, to form the empirical base of the study. Content analysis and empirical methods were used to analyze qualitative data. In turn, quantitative data were processed using statistical and logical tools. Results. The conducted research allowed to confirm the effectiveness of ESG-tool in the realization of the concept of sustainable development. It was determined that the significant driving force of ESG-transformation today is mainly large banks. However, the potential of ESG-transformation on the part of banks may be exhausted, and the practical part of fulfillment of plans reflected in their ESG-policies requires additional incentives from the state. Conclusions. Based on the results of the conducted research, it becomes clear that it is necessary to form a competitive Russian sovereign ESG-model, which should include a national regulatory framework, technological standards, and domestic platform IT management systems. Strengthening the work in this direction’ financial market participants are most able to influence the introduction of innovations in the sphere of tools for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) and national projects, to take into account national interests in view of ESG-agenda realization, to ensure their development and financing.

Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is one of the important process for the management of the coast using an integrated approach to achieve sustainability, regarding all aspects of the coastal zone, including geographical and political boundaries. In 2010, the Government of India had launched Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project (ICZMP) to conserve, protect and manage the coastal and marine ecosystems, pollution abatement and livelihood security of the coastal communities with the assistance of the World Bank. The ICZM project in India was implemented in identified coastal stretches of the states of Gujarat, Odisha and West Bengal. Under this project, activities related to conservation of the coastal ecosystems such as mangrove plantation, shelterbelt plantation, coral transplantation, enhancement of livelihood security of the coastal communities, pollution abatement in coastal areas, capacity building, etc. was undertaken. After almost 10 years of the commencement of the project, the satisfactory implementation of various activities in all the three states is evident from the numerous achievements under ICZM.

Changes of economic profile and political environment have brought to these cities serious socio-demographic phenomena of shrinking and decline. Paradoxically, the natural values related to the presence of the Danube – the waterfront vegetation, oysters, lakes, islands, and beaches – together with the ruins of the former industries re-covered by the vegetation, are spatial elements that outline the premises of a green redefinition of the entire Danube’s corridor. In order to improve the spatial development discrepancies, existing along Danube between the recognizable civilized west segment and the wild south-east, it is necessary to drive attention to cities and villages on Lower Danube that can be harmonized in a coherent and diverse system, planned for a sustainable development. This chapter explores the ways in which the landscape values of the Lower Danube small and medium-sized cities can be used for improving the river green and blue infrastructure and its ecosystem services.

Research Design and Methods: To achieve our purpose, we used the hypothetico-deductive methodology. Faced with panel data, this study uses logistic regression models (Fixed Effect, Random Effect, and Mixed Effect), covering the period 2010-2019 for twenty WCA countries (West and Central Africa). Originality and Contribution: To our knowledge, this study is among the first to explore the factors upstream of the deployment of local crowdfunding platforms, based on basic infrastructure, technological and communication innovation, education, and the legal framework and financial system. This research contributes to the current debate on the development of crowdfunding in sub-Saharan Africa as well as to the future models to be adopted so that this activity is sustainable at the local level. Findings and Results: The study points out that the infrastructure of information and communication technologies, based on the penetration of the Internet and mobile telephony, significantly influences the deployment of the national platform. Nevertheless, the basic infrastructure such as electricity and urbanization variables, a legal framework based on the business creation score, education, and the weakness of the financial development system constitute an obstacle to claiming development in long-term and sustainable local crowdfunding activities. Following these striking results, the study highlights a series of levers on which legislators in WCA countries can act to meet the crowdfunding challenges of tomorrow. Implications: By proposing three research levers, this study should promote and support the development of crowdfunding from a pedagogical point of view by emphasizing entrepreneurship and emerging technologies in education at the level of professional or university training, from the infrastructure, access to physical and digital infrastructure by emphasizing the importance of regional partnerships, creating partnerships with traditional African banks, and to prevent risks, build trust and ensure the security of investments, decision makers must establish the law on alternative finance activities (Crowdfunding, cryptocurrency).

Sustainable world, Sustainable development, Environment Sustainability, Socio-political Sustainability, Economic Sustainability are the various catch phrases, that are inherently interlinked to each other and are at the core of discussion for almost all individuals and organisations, ranging from International bodies like United Nations, World Bank, UNICEF etc. to every economic nation, every individual country is talking about sustainability. So what exactly is this “sustainability” that everybody’s talking about? Isn’t it consuming at a pace which is in conformity to its natural replenishment, or to say while you eat remember not to engulf what belongs to your children. Sustainability is the intent to provide the best outcomes for the human and natural environments both now and into the indefinite future. Sustainability relates to the continuity of economic, social, institutional and environmental aspects of human society, as well as the non-human environment. Here it is appropriate to quote the popular definition of Sustainable development as given by the Brundtland Report (of the United Nations, WECD, 1987) which defines it as a “development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generation to meet their own needs”. Today is the age of Globalization, where the east is no longer limited within its boundaries rather it is looking towards west and vice-versa. Efforts are made to intermingle both the worlds for a better and sustainable world. In this backdrop the present paper seeks to discuss in detail in line with recent and earlier literature on the subject of Sustainability and Sustainable development, its evolution and growth, and how the developed countries of the west and the developing economies of the east will together realize the vision of a Sustainable world. Keywords: sustainability, sustainable development, sustainable world, dimensions to sustainability.

The EBRD has the promotion of environmentally sound and sustainable development as part of its founding charter. The EBRD's Transport Operations Policy has four operating principles: (1) a comprehensive view of the transport sector; (2) a belief that competitive markets provide the best hope of guiding the economies of both East and West; (3) guiding the development of transport networks by economic priorities and technical efficiency; and (4) giving priority to integrating Central and Eastern Europe with other parts of the world and to enhancing the environment. Its Environmental Policy includes the adoption of adequate environmental assessment, managing, planning, audit and monitoring procedures throughout its activities. Projects in which the EBRD has invested include: (1) the M1/M15 motorway in Hungary; (2) completion of a 32km section of Trans-European Motorway in Bulgaria; (3) the Budapest Public Transport Rehabilitation Project; and (4) a feasibility study for the Slovenia-Hungary rail link. Some lessons from the EBRD's experience are stated. For the covering abstract see IRRD 870256.	[]

This study examines the role of trade liberalization on infrastructural development in Africa using data from 15 member-countries in the Economic Community of West African states (ECOWAS) over the period 1993 to 2018. Data was obtained from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators and the African Development Bank. Measures of infrastructure considered include transport, energy, telecommunication and the composite infrastructure index. Findings are provided with use of the PARDL model. The results showed no significant effect of trade liberalization on all measures of infrastructure except for telecommunication where significant positive effects were observed but only in the long run. Long run estimates also showed negative effect of increase in tax revenue on infrastructure development specifically for transport. Findings further showed positive effects of increase in real income on energy and the composite index on infrastructure in the long run with short run results depicting negative effects. Evidence provided suggests the key role of trade liberalization in boosting infrastructure development mainly for telecommunication. In pursuing trade-oriented programs, governments in the region should focus on promoting infrastructure in the areas of transport and Energy as the region will continue to lag behind in these key areas in the advent of trade policies. Efforts should also be made to increase budgetary allocations to infrastructure investment in the attempt to maximize trade benefits and ensure sustainable development. This again is important as governments in the African region seek to pursue larger trade bloc operations in the AfCFTA.	[]

Multilateral institutions remain uniquely qualified to ‘nudge’ urban consumption patterns and thus influence the state of the global commons by (1) valuing natural resources as a source of wealth and heritage, (2) helping to protect natural resources, and (3) facilitating networked action by major cities to shift toward more sustainable patterns of production and consumption. Urban youth today have grown up in a much more complex and interconnected world than previous generations, yet they continue to play a secondary role in urban development, and institutions should start involving them in defining the sustainable city of 2025.

Reasons for slow pace of development of water resources projects vary from lack of financial resources to deterrents sometimes posed by Environmentalists. Sustainable Development of any project is however received with great enthusiasm by the society. The models of sustainability are also designed to meet both economic and environmental objectives in time and space. Exploitation of natural resources beyond their regenerative capacities has led to environmental degradation worldwide. Sustainable Development therefore aims at maintaining an equilibrium between human needs and economic developments within the parameters of environmental conservation while ensuring tradeoffs between desired production-consumption levels. Indira Sagar Project is an ambitious project on river Narmada. It has an installed capacity of 1000 MW and is located at Punasa in the district of Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh. The Project is the biggest in India on its completion in terms of its storage capacity. Due to its tremendous water holding capacity it will provide water to all the downstream projects i.e. Omkareshwar Project and Maheshwar Project in Madhya Pradesh and Sardar Sarovar Project in Gujarat. The biggest ever man made lake in India will be created (913 sq. km) to hold about 12 billion cubic metre of water storage in the reservoir of Indira Sagar Project. As a result of reservoir creation, 91,348 ha of land would be submerged affecting 249 villages in Indira Sagar Project. Narmada river is the west flowing river having its origin in Amarkantak in M.P. All old civilisations flourished near the banks of perennial rivers of which remains are found. The Narmada valley is no exception and as such the valley is very rich in archaeologically important wealth. The Archaeological Monuments are thus required to be saved from permanent submergence as also the important mounds are to be excavated for further collection of knowledge about historic value buried under earth before the large tracts of such location gets submerged. An ambitious programme of salvaging the heritage getting affected due to construction of Indira Sagar Project is currently underway. The Power component (Dam & Power Houses) of the Project is being constructed by NHDC Ltd. (A Joint Venture of NHPC & Govt. of Madhya Pradesh). In the present paper an attempt has been made to highlight the various efforts being made to translocate/restore/retrieve the archaeological wealth available scattered in the submergence area of the project scientifically. The construction programme is scheduled in such a way that no monument comes under submergence before it is properly translocated/restored. The case study also reflects the benefits of adopting joint participatory approach while constructing large dam projects.

After the development of London’s Docklands and the redevelopment opportunities brought about by the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea area in London, with the iconic Battersea Power Station as a focal point presents one of the most significant city center redevelopment opportunities in Europe. Redevelopment of this scale requires the cooperation of the private and public sectors and the development of an integrated transport and land use strategy for the area. The paper presents unique challenges in balancing diverse interests and managing stakeholders in order to promote sustainable development, while maximizing the economic potential of the area. The Greater London Authority (GLA) has defined the Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea area as an “Opportunity Area” (OA) where it wishes to facilitate a step change in the type of urban re-development. It is located on the south bank of the River Thames, on the fringes of central London and the West End. It includes significant areas of derelict land, including the Power Station site and industrial sites, and has been identified in the London Plan as an area that can accommodate significant new employment and housing. However, much of the area is poorly served by transport, and although a number of major developers have assembled portfolios of land for potential development, the existing transport infrastructure cannot support the density of development which they seek. As a result, one developer has already put forward proposals for a privately funded extension of the London Underground network to serve their site at Battersea Power Station. The need to integrate transport and land use was recognized early on. The GLA developed an Opportunity Area Planning Framework (OAPF) for this area and Transport for London (TfL) provided the transport input for the OAPF. Funding for transport schemes in London is under pressure, and the value of private sector finance is becoming increasingly important, however a balance is required between the specific commercial interests of landowners and the wider benefits which can be gained through well planned transport interventions. This paper describes the transport study that was undertaken to test the impact of the different development scenarios on the existing transport infrastructure and to appraise potential transport interventions required to support the extent of proposed development. The results of this study have been incorporated into the OAPF document. The VNEB OA was the first in London to be the subject of an integrated land use and transport study, which involved working with a consortium of land owners and public sector bodies with interests in the OA. Public Transport and Highway models were developed for the transport study based on existing TfL models. The models were refined and improved for the OA and surrounding area and updated to a 2008 base. They were then used to test five OA development scenarios, with the largest proposing 16,750 new homes and 27,000 new jobs. Planning issues such as increased household sizes, public transport accessibility and car parking restrictions were incorporated into the modeling process. Through extensive stakeholder consultation, a wide range of transport initiatives was refined and grouped into integrated packages appropriate to each development scenario. These included potential extensions to the London Underground, light rail and bus options, as well as improved pedestrian and cycle links, including a possible new pedestrian bridge across the River Thames. Much of the existing transport infrastructure is already close to capacity at peak hours, thus the potential of proposed transport solutions to reduce pressure on these in future years became a significant part of the formulation and assessment of the transport packages. With the benefit of the transport modeling tests, the transport packages were appraised using both the United Kingdom (UK) Department of Transport WebTAG methodology, and TfL guidance to inform the OAPF. This appraisal included assessments with relation to sustainability, accessibility, integration, safety, environment and emissions. The Transport Study recommended the appropriate level of transport packages that would be required to achieve integration between each proposed land use and associated travel demand. It has set the scene for a number of subsequent studies, both within the VNEB OA and at other Opportunity Areas across London. A planning application has now been made for redevelopment of the Battersea Power Station Site.

Buildings, infrastructure and the environment are inextricably linked. Energy, materials, water and land are all consumed in the construction and operation of buildings and infrastructure. These built structures are also part of our living environment, affecting our living conditions, social well‐being and health. It is therefore important to explore environmentally and economically sound design and development techniques to ensure that buildings and infrastructure are sustainable, healthy and affordable. The objective of this paper is to investigate the role that the construction industry is playing in the sustainable development management globally and in Lebanon particularly. Survey questionnaires were distributed to main construction industry players: Contractors, Architects/Engineers and Owners/Developers. These questionnaires are designed to collect information on companies’ environmental awareness and social responsibilities and current practices that include land development, material selections, energy efficiency, construction operations, waste handling, storage facilities, sustainable designs and so on. The information is then analysed and recommendations are made on how to learn from socially responsible companies and how to improve the overall sustainable development of the construction industry in Lebanon.

An integrated approach was adopted to assess the life-cycle technical, environmental, energy and economic attributes of the system. The findings show that the Lebanese electricity system is characterized by a weak performance in all analysed aspects related to the sustainability of energy systems. Specifically, the system lacks adequacy and security leading to a supply–demand deficit and poor diversity. It gives rise to significant environmental emissions (including green-house gases), and produces large economic inefficiencies. The costs and benefits of optimising the performance of the centralised electricity system are presented, indicating substantial net benefits (together with considerable benefits in reduced environmental impacts across the life-cycle assessment categories, including carbon emissions) from improving the transmission and distribution networks, upgrading existing conventional plants to their design standards, and shifting towards the use of natural gas.

Worldwide experience has proven, however, that development cannot and should not be accomplished at the expense of the environment and natural resources. Thus, guiding Lebanon towards a sustainable development path is a must. Lebanese financial institutions, which are a major player in the market, have the potential to accelerate the sustainable development of the country. This paper investigates the actual role played by Lebanese financial institutions in the quest for sustainable development and offers practical recommendations that should help this sector improve its performance regarding sustainability issues.

Their importance increases considerably in historical areas, where the richness of cultural heritage has the ability to motivate cultural tourism. This paper emphasizes the sustainable development of urban historical areas based on their potential as cultural tourism sites. It argues that to guarantee the sustainability of any development intervention in these areas, a master planning process must be undertaken to balance all of the aspects of development. It tackles the interconnectedness of these aspects as an approach to their simultaneous development. As a focus of study, this paper raises a question about the ability of a ‘heritage trail’—an area of direct interactions between parties sharing in urban development in historic areas—to achieve the sustainability goals of the involved areas. To answer this question, the paper investigates three nodes of interaction stimulated by the heritage trail: conservation and rehabilitation, interpretation, and micro-economic development. To illustrate the validity of the proposed approach, this paper discusses the heritage trail as an approach used in the Cultural Heritage and Urban Development (CHUD) project in the historical core of Saida (Old Saida), Lebanon as a case study.

The bottom-up or participatory approach to sustainable development has hardly been tested for urban development and management in Lebanon. This research concerns the sustainable rehabilitation of the built environment in the area of Zouk Mosbeh (ZM) in Lebanon. This area of Lebanon as with most other parts of the country suffered extensive infrastructure damage and displacement of people during the civil war. Since the seizure of hostilities, ZM has witnessed unprecedented physical growth, inviting huge problems of unplanned urban growth, traffic congestion, solid wastes, and pollution. A triangulation method has been employed, which combines both semi-structured interviews and subjective surveys to enhance understanding of the sustainable urban planning and management of ZM. The results showed that top-down command and control measures, useful as these are, may not produce an effective sustainable urban ZM, but a bottom-up approach to urban management is needed. The participatory process where all stakeholders are involved in the policy and implementation process, would allow them to take ownership of the sustainable development process. The study is expected to yield some policy recommendations to promote sustainable rehabilitation of ZM in Lebanon, encouraging a collaborative approach to sustainable urban development. The research is likely to be of significance to the government of Lebanon, the Zouk Mosbeh local authority, and policy makers in developing countries.

Several well-to-wheel studies have been done in mostly industrialized countries to assess the environmental impacts of these technologies as compared to conventional fuel vehicles. This study is a well-to-wheel assessment for the case of Lebanon and similar fuel-importing countries in the developing world where energy and transportation infrastructure are typically underdeveloped. The study considers the energy use, GHG and criteria pollutant emissions and economic costs for conventional and potentially feasible alternative fuel vehicle pathways for the Lebanese case in order to inform transition strategies to alternative fuels over the near, medium and long-terms. Results show that electric vehicles are beneficial for the long term as they require costly charging infrastructure and a clean electricity mix. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are attractive for the medium term, with gasoline or diesel hybrid electric vehicles the most feasible and beneficial technologies in the short-term. A sensitivity analysis showed that natural gas-based vehicles are competitive at high driving mileage, while locally produced biodiesel from waste cooking oil proved beneficial if emission controls are enforced.

This area suffered extensive infrastructure damage and displacement of people during the civil war, followed by unprecedented unplanned urban growth. The survey was undertaken in 2005 and 2006 using a triangulation method which combined semi-structured interviews, designed questionnaires and objective surveys. The survey was not only to analyze the nature and extent of environmental degradation but also was to produce guidance for use by built-environment professionals, practitioners and policy makers for achieving sustainable rehabilitation of the built environment sector in Lebanon. The results suggest that a bottom-up approach to urban management involving all stakeholders in the policy and implementation process is needed to allow them take ownership of the sustainable development process. The outcomes of the field survey also show that only 61% of occupants are generally satisfied with their environment of 77 buildings surveyed in this study, and the measurements of predicted mean vote (PMV) provide general satisfactory comfort conditions according to ISO 7730 and the occupants agree by indicating a satisfactory actual mean vote (AMV).

Unethical corporate and managerial behaviours and practices are posing serious obstacles in the move towards development and prosperity. The main objective of this paper is to assess the levels of awareness towards business ethics among Lebanese workers. Lebanese respondents displayed mixed responses to various scenarios of unethical behaviours. Such gaps lead to the conclusion that some decision makers may prefer bottom line indicators over issues of transparency, stakeholders' rights, human capital development and similar concerns. Strategies and intervention mechanisms should be implemented to improve the current situation and pave the way towards growth and sustainable development across Lebanon.

Several theoretical and Empirical studies on the relationship between the financial development and economic growth on carbon emissions showed conflicting findings. This research focus on studying the impact of both the financial development and economic growth on environmental degradation in Lebanon. The findings indicate that financial development and economic growth both have significant and positive impact on the carbon dioxide emissions using some control variables like fossil energy consumption, trade openness and urbanization. Also, the results showed a significant impact for the control variables on carbon emissions. this suggests crucial implications for policy-makers. The study recommends that the policy makers in Lebanon should push the financial institutions to invest more in green and friendly environment projects which will lead to minimize the carbon dioxide emissions.Keywords: Financial Development, Economic Growth, Carbon Emission, Environmental degradationJEL Classifications: 016, 044, Q43 G00, Q50DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.9029	[ { "display_name": "International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy", "id": "https://openalex.org/S2764470041", "type": "journal" } ]

Primary data using quantitative (structured questionnaire) and qualitative (semi-structured interview) methods were collected. The findings highlight the weak resource management and monitoring of various aspects. The factors influencing the village's livelihoods include constraints in water quantity and water quality monitoring, communication and micro-macro links, as well as the allocation of financial resources. The utilisation of the sustainable livelihood approach resulted in developing a practical action plan and a set of management strategies for the enhancement of the village's livelihood based on detailed local knowledge and community input. The significance of this research lies in defining and prioritising factors influencing rural livelihoods and typical relationships among them in real life situations. It focuses on quantitative and qualitative variables and provides evidence-based interventions.

A monitoring and reporting program on progress made on access to improved sanitation services has been pursued by the global community using the universal indicator ’proportion of population using an improved sanitation facility’. However, monitoring and reporting progress using this indicator does not reflect the effective wastewater management and pollution control. This paper presents a methodological approach for quantitative assessment of the effective wastewater management based on non-additive aggregation methodology which accounts for the interactions among indicators. Firstly, a set of indicators are identified and calculation methods are presented. Secondly, the use of 2-order Choquet integral to aggregate indicators into an Effective Wastewater Management index (EWM) is proposed. At the practical level, results of evaluation of the EWM of the Wastewater Collection Systems in Lebanon are then presented and discussed. Finally, the conclusions and further developments are presented.	[ { "display_name": "Environmental Processes", "id": "https://openalex.org/S2764608354", "type": "journal" } ]

To quantify the territory emissions (Baseline Emission Inventory BEI), local authorities had to rely on inaccurate data that generated inaccurate results. Furthermore, classical tools would not allow any authority wishing to join without any technical assistance from CES-MED to identify and determine the performance of each measure in order to elaborate a feasible Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP). A new tool is necessary to fill the gaps and lead to a more developed approach, more generalized and adapted to the regional context. The first part developed of this tool can assess the basic situation of a municipality in terms of calculating emissions. A second part of this tool is to identify priority energy efficiency measures, determine the performance of each measure and the related investment costs, in order to develop the SECAP for any authority in Lebanon and in the region. This operational, reliable and effective tool called SECAP-SSP includes a specific database for Lebanon and the region to help municipalities calculate baseline emissions and assess the impacts of different SEAP measures. The new tool takes into account most of sectors contributing to the environmental impacts, to study their environmental performance, to succeed by modelling the determination of Optimum Energy Performance / Environmental Benefit / Costs of energy efficiency measures in the various sectors of the municipality. Depending on the magnitude of the contribution of each sector, the municipality will have the choice to decide on the measures to be implemented. A methodology for the elaboration of the “Budget Allocation Chart” is proposed. This paper presents the results of application of this tool for the development of the SECAP’s of municipalities in Lebanon.

Despite the doubts ambiguity, ecotourism is closely related to sustainability. This paper aims to study the contribution of ecotourism to sustainable development in Lebanon from a market perspective. In order to assess the level of understanding of the ecotourism concept by the Lebanese nature-based tour operators and their contribution to sustainable development, field data related to their profile and practices was collected using a survey administered to 50 operators. The main findings showed that their compliance with the international ecotourism principles and guidelines is weak and that they have a low level of specialization. However, despite this fact, ecotourism is trending in Lebanon and is providing rural areas with some economic benefits and opportunities without having a comprehensive contribution to ecological conservation and cultural preservation. Two decades after its emergence in Lebanon, ecotourism remains an unorganized sector.

The Bekaa area, where the upper Litani River Basin (LRB) is located, suffers serious water quality and quantity problems, which threaten agricultural productivity and public health. Most of the domestic and industrial water in the basin is left untreated. This study investigates prevailing water management issues in the basin. The analysis provides a critical reflection on the water quality and quantity indicators using Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), to ‘ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all’. Results based on the author’s observations and evidence from published reports and papers, since the early nineties, showed the existing management approaches fall short to mitigate the negative impact of the environmental problems in the LRB, particularly low water quality (indicator 6.3) and inefficient water use (indicator 6.4). Progress on achieving integrated water management (indicator 6.5) in the LRB is limited. Persistent environmental challenges remain due to weak governance, insufficient capacity, and law enforcement, which must be targeted by a public-private partnership.

An energy policy that includes ten strategic initiatives and 42 action steps that are integrated and correlated to cover the sector's infrastructure, supply/demand, and the legal aspects was proposed and approved by the Government of Lebanon. This paper describes the current technical and financial situation of the LEPS and the need for an energy policy. The stochastic Load Modification Technique (LMT) is then used to assess the impact of implementing the projects proposed in the energy policy on energy production, overall cost, technical and commercial losses, reliability and customer service. The proposed technique is used to establish a technical and financial baseline of the LEPS against which the full implementation of the energy policy is compared and the resulting tariff is calculated.

The challenge is especially difficult when the local infrastructure was already strained in trying to meet the host community’s pre-displacement demand. What most communities need are resilient water and wastewater infrastructure systems, and what we develop in this paper is an integrated approach that can achieve such systems. Our approach takes into account the operating environment of bridging what some call the humanitarian-development (HD) nexus. The HD nexus is the phase in which a community transitions toward a response paradigm that combines humanitarian response with long-term services. The HD nexus poses inherent contextual challenges, and we identify them, through interviews with municipalities in Lebanon, in their physical, social, financial, and institutional dimensions. Furthermore, we explore interactions that can inform how best to address these challenges. Our results introduce policy areas (i.e., utility pricing and establishing shared development priorities) that support this transition across the HD nexus and achieve resilient systems. Our discussions give rise to an empirical understanding of the infrastructures’ operating environments and thus contribute to global conversations on sustainable development.

The difficulties encountered stem from the complementary and redundancy interactions that exist among sustainable development indicators. Typically, indicators used for the sustainability assessment are not independent of each other. This study presents a methodological approach for assessment of aggregate sustainability indices based on non-additive aggregation method which accounts for synergies and interactions among indicators. A simplified 2-order Choquet integral is proposed to aggregate indicators sustainability scores into an overall sustainable rating. The proposed approach is then applied to the assessment of the sustainable withdrawals of water resources in Lebanon. Lastly, the conclusions and further development are presented.

Our study finds that refugees in Lebanon were the furthest left behind compared to refugees in Jordan and Iraq. Moreover, considering the culture of refugees, installing quality WASH services, and shifting from the traditional linear approach to the circular economy approach is an advantage in refugee camps that creates more resilience opportunities for refugees and their hosts.

This includes: (1) co-production with early years professionals and NGOs of approaches to support early language development; (2) development and standardisation of tools to identify monolingual and multilingual Arabic-speaking children at risk of poor language development; and (3) examination of language development in refugee communities.The importance of inter-professional partnership and the inclusion of families in planning support for oral language development is highlighted. Arabic versions of the Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) Toddler were developed, and data collected from 1074 Egyptian, Jordanian and Palestinian monolingual infants aged 8-30 months. Data from 201 age-matched Palestinian infants in Lebanese refugee camps highlight inequalities resulting from limited maternal educational opportunities. Data from 230 multilingual Lebanese 2-year-olds enable the interpretation of CDI scores as a function of language exposure.This work contributes to the promotion of robust language development for all Arabic-speaking children. This commentary focusses on sustainable development goal (SDG) 3, SDG 4, SDG 10 and SDG 17.

Its appearance in academic literature has a long history. It is considered at the heart of challenges relevant to sustainable society and sustainable development and it is studied in academia around the world. Despite the continually increasing public interest towards CSR, very little is known of the concept in developing countries. After providing a review of the literature, this research investigates and measures the awareness and implementation of CSR in Lebanon leading to the development of a sustainable society. The study sheds light on the means facilitating the promotion of CSR and the role of the government. The concepts developed from the findings of this research open the way for new researches in the field.

Air pollution is among the most important environmental issues that need to be managed since it reflects directly and indirectly on the different aspects of human life. This paper presents an assessment of the evolution of air pollution control philosophies at the global level, and it describes advantages and disadvantages of alternate environmental strategies that can be considered in the development of an integrated and comprehensive plan for air quality management at the local level, with Lebanon as a case study of a typical developing country. The proposed strategy considers short-, medium- and long-term schemes that make use of regulatory and market-based instruments, such as pollution charges, and market creation and usage. The short-term scheme identifies serious polluters and improves environmental performance by adopting and enforcing updated environmental standards. Economic incentive concepts constitute the principal philosophy for medium-term application of a comprehensive environmental strategy, mostly applicable at the level of the transportation and energy sectors. Long-term strategies, targeting the industrial sector, aim at achieving a flexible free market in which polluters would compete on the basis of market forces and governmental incentives to attain better environmental performance and increase potential cost savings.

In doing this, they are faced with sustainable development challenges. Entrepreneurship constitutes the business efforts of an individual or group for earning profit and ensuring economic empowerment, while social entrepreneurship involves the business activities with an embedded social purpose focused on sustainability rather than immediate outcomes. Entrepreneurship is an important factor of economy. The development of social entrepreneurship needs a structural adjustment in the society. The principal paper aim is to investigate the social entrepreneurship role in improving sustainable development. Also, the paper will examine social entrepreneurship as an effective tool in resolving social problems, noting that social entrepreneurship analysis can provide a response to sustainable development challenges. The research focuses on addressing the current state of social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship indicators, pillars of entrepreneurship development, business environment and entrepreneurial opportunity and signifying the practicality of dissimilar business models developed in social entrepreneurship. Surveys were conducted on fifty different organizations (banks and audit companies) to collect data. Also, SPSS system was used to analyze the data gathered, to study the relationship between sustainable development and social entrepreneurship. Evidence suggests that social entrepreneurship can play a significant role for poverty reduction, ensuring employment, economic prosperity, environmental justice, pollution free ecology, good governance, reduction of terrorism, guarantee of peace, corruption control etc., thus offering opportunities to fulfill sustainable development goals in Lebanon. We can conclude that social business models develop a basic spread that grant social entrepreneurs to participate actively to sustainable development.	[ { "display_name": "Proceedings of the ...

Therefore, how to guide China’s OFDI location decision-making in the Belt and Road (B&R) countries from the perspective of mutualistic symbiosis is of great significance. This paper constructs the B&R symbiotic system based on symbiotic system theory, to establish the investment suitability index from three dimensions: stability, coordination, and sustainability, then uses the entropy weight, TOPSIS, and GIS method to assess and analyze the investment suitability index of 60 major countries in B&R’s six economic corridors. The findings indicate that Russia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia have the highest investment suitability and are China’s most favorable OFDI destinations for achieving mutualistic symbiosis. Conversely, Syria, Lebanon, Jordon, and Yemen have the lowest investment suitability. Based on these results, policymakers can formulate more scientific and reasonable policies to guide China’s OFDI to make location decisions in B&R countries with high investment suitability, so as to promote the high-quality and sustainable development of B&R construction. However, due to data acquisition and technical reasons, this study does not analyze investment suitability from time trends. The analysis of investment suitability from more B&R countries or different types of industries is an important direction for further research in the future.

This industry happens to be one of the most resource-intensive industries. The process of making pulp and paper is explained with corresponding environmental loads along the entire supply chain. The paper discusses the concept of corporate sustainability and cleaner production (CP)11 in the context of the global industry. The paper also presents several environmental management strategies and best practices involving all the stakeholders to render this industry more sustainable – building a sustainable enterprise, human resource development, foreign direct investment, international standard certification, etc. An elaborate action plan for rendering the pulp and paper industry more sustainable has been drawn out. Some of the aspects suggested in the action plan include encouraging paper recycling, regulating water consumption, building a technology triangle, etc. Since the CP technology is a powerful and potentially effective tool suited to the needs of Lebanon and also other developing countries, special mention has been made of this aspect in the conclusion.

There is consideration of how domestic rural and nature tourism can be used as new niche tourism products, to help to develop sustainable tourism. The chapter also emphasizes that successive planning initiatives are hampered by the challenge of the insecurity in Lebanon, not least from the hosting of political refugees from neighbouring states.

In this context, green buildings are an example of solutions that deliver high quality constructions, which can minimize environmental impact and resources depletion while enhancing occupants’ well-being. This paper aims at researching, assessing and evaluating current situations and lessons learnt from current fiscal incentives and regulatory framework available in Lebanon that promote green building rating systems and certifications, in the light of the estimated cost difference between green and non-green buildings.

The Lebanese legal and political landscape at the government level is complex. Hence, local authorities have a valuable role in making decisions, in assessing their situation as well as improving it via different tools and approaches towards local sustainable development.	[]

Unfortunately, for the case of Lebanon, there are no plans for national-level infrastructural development that could be considered as a future goal to advance the country’s ability to compete regionally and ensure an improved standard and quality of living, without depriving future generations of their due share of natural resources and ecological space. This paper focuses on developing a strategic roadmap that is robust yet flexible enough to integrate and implement green building regulations in both new and existing buildings within the Lebanese regulatory framework.

The proposed living heritage model is separated into three fundamental actions: firstly, the identification of important historical places and buildings that are reused to serve conservation and tourism development, as well as the participation of the core community in determining this. Secondly, the development of a tourism strategy and development plans, in which the local community must also participate. Thirdly, the development of maintenance and control programs, which must be supervised by the local community through its partnership with the Ministry and those responsible for conservation operations. Moreover, the hypothesis is to find a way to implement the living heritage in a local rural context. It also tackles different ways of implementing the living heritage approach based on international case studies (Albergo Diffuso, in Italy and the Meteora, in Greece), to inform sustainable economic and tourism development in the local rural context of Mount Lebanon. The methodological study will take into consideration two analyses: a theoretical (literature reviews and main definitions) and a practical (comparative analysis and case studies). In conclusion, several strategies can be taken into account in order to attain a successful living heritage of sustainable economics and tourism in Mount Lebanon. In fact, such a goal will be achieved through the partnership among private, public, and local sectors that can create a strong historical-touristic-economic bond.

entrepreneurship activities draws the attention of scholars, professionals, and authorities. Few scholarly articles were published on the critical success factors of entrepreneurs in Sustainable Development projects. This research paper explores the key success factors of entrepreneurs in Sustainable Development projects in Lebanon. Based on data of 183 entrepreneurs from Lebanon, the results of SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) showed that two main factors must be considered by entrepreneurs in Sustainable Development projects, namely, business factors and individual characteristics. The results also do not show any significant impact of environmental factors on the success of entrepreneurship in Sustainable Development projects. On the other hand, this research shows that the individual factors have higher impact than that of business factors on entrepreneurship success in Sustainable Development projects.

In 2015, the United Nations launched 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in order to improve the quality of life of this generation and future generations. Particularly, SDG 15 titled “Life on Land” calls on member states to preserve biodiversity and protect the environment. Developed countries are finding it easier to achieve this goal, while developing countries are mostly prioritizing other challenges. Lebanon, a developing country that is politically and religiously divided, has been grappling with many internal and external conflicts resulting from its 15-year civil war that ended back in 1990. To answer the key question of the extent to which Lebanon was able to effectively pursue sustainable development, specifically SDG15, this thesis examines the work of the two entities responsible for the attainment of SDG15 which are the Ministry of Environment and local environmental groups in Lebanon. The Ministry of Environment and environmental groups have been working on protecting biodiversity and providing reforestation techniques to farmers in the country which is in line with sustainable development. However, they have both fallen behind in critical areas such as stopping land excavation (for querying stones) and building dams without due consideration to their effectiveness and environmental consequences. The thesis contends that the close relationship between the political and business elites and insufficient governmental accountability were behind these failures. Despite these structural obstacles, the Ministry of the Environment and environmental groups have been able to make some progress towards meeting SDG 15.	[]

The idea is to create a healthier world by lowering environmental effects on architectural heritage by means of inventive, rapid and cost-effective options to eco-renovating heritage buildings. Conservation practices and initiatives must adhere to the historic current fabric, including its applications, connections, and values. These approaches must be focused on an enhancement strategy to reduce negative effects of environment on historical buildings. Lebanon is facing a slew of environmental issues as a result of poor environmental management, especially in the historic constructed environment. Because of this, the study will review the relationship between architecture and environment, discussing sustainable architecture, green buildings and its characteristics, and sustainability and architectural heritage conservation. Moreover, the study also explores architectural heritage and high-performance buildings, clarifying the impact of environment on architectural heritage, high performance buildings and their design objectives and characteristics. The study focuses mainly on quality techniques and high performance buildings, presenting quality in architecture aspects and Six Sigma as a quality improvement technique for enhancing performance of existing buildings. In this sense, we will shed some light on various attempts of green buildings and reduction of environmental impact on architectural heritage in Lebanon. The study proposes a new methodology as a performance improvement approach for converting the historical building into a high-performance one. The paper also emphasizes the role of sustainable development implementations to conserve the architectural heritage, while optimizing performance characteristics of historical buildings, using Six Sigma technique as enhancement strategy to achieve high-performance for historic buildings in Lebanon.

However, societal changes have had a significant impact on these landscapes, putting them at risk of further degradation. Lifestyle changes and restrictions on access to forests and woodlands have contributed to the abandonment of traditional community use, management, and protection of forests. This neglect has left forests vulnerable to arson, vandalism, and natural disasters. This Lebanon Forest Note articulates opportunities for supporting the protection and sustainable management of Lebanon's forest landscapes. It considers the increasing pressure on natural resources due to anthropogenic activities/stresses, as well as their increased vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters, especially forest fires. The note presents a forward-looking business case for Lebanon to protects its forest ecosystem services, while increasing the socioeconomic benefits for Lebanon's sustainable development goals and global environmental commitments.

This partnership was created within a European Project carried out during the 2015–2018 period. The importance of this project is focused on how energy issues play an important role in the global development of industrial and underdeveloped countries. Energy issues are commonly accompanied with the challenging trade-off of energy production and environmental sustainability. The research project evaluates the creation and delivery of a new curriculum at the Lebanese universities based upon the joint effort and support of the European partners of the Project Consortium.The overall aim of the project was to promote academic excellence through an academic network and by joint research, education, and exchange of experience, but also knowledge that has led to the high-quality curriculum. It is expected that this will contribute in the sustainable development of the Lebanese higher educational system. The project is in perfect alignment with the EU Commission’s action aiming to deepen the knowledge of extraction technologies and practices of unconventional gas and oil while minimizing potential health and environmental risks.

Lebanon is not isolated and far away from this problem. Lebanese state since the beginning did not work to find a scientific effective permanent lasting solution to this problem. Every day all media broadcast about solid waste problems, especially in the region of Sidon and Tyre caza. The file of solid waste management (collecting-transporting-disposal) is exhausting municipalities’ financial resources instead of investing these funds in implementing rural development programs, which TYRE caza fiercely needs. Development represents the most challenging aspect for all countries of the world, whether they are developed or developing countries. In addition, development in its concept and application, whether it was sustainable development, local, rural, urban, became the focal attention of states governments alike, whether those countries are developed or developing countries. For that purpose, those countries have established ministries and research centers to take care of development and even to add university degree related to development.Lebanon has not follow this track, neither in the formulation of designed ministry for development nor in the adding of university specialized degree, also the academic literature, who deals in the subject of development. “Limited number of institutions involved in rural development such as , the establishment of kafalat cooperation, a new investment law that establish the autonomous investment development authority of Lebanon (IDAL), the provision of subsidized credit through a central bank facility, signing trade agreements to expand and liberalize trade with Lebanon’s partners” E/ESCWA/2007/WG.5 26OCTOBER 2007.The research will focus on the concepts of rural development, rural area, analyze the impact of expenditure on solid waste on rural development in TYRE caza.

However, in ski resorts, participating to the private sector in territorial management could have a better impact on resource preservation due to the seasonality of ski dynamism and its impact on network efficacy. This article aims to study the concept of local network governance and to examine its influence on sustainable development. The effectiveness of this governance is illustrated by the case of Mzaar ski-resort in Lebanon.

The difficulties encountered stem from the complementary and redundancy interactions that exist among sustainable development indicators. Typically, indicators used for the sustainability assessment are not independent of each other. This study presents a methodological approach for assessment of aggregate sustainability indices based on non-additive aggregation method which accounts for synergies and interactions among indicators. A simplified 2-order Choquet integral is proposed to aggregate indicators sustainability scores into an overall sustainable rating. The proposed approach is then applied to the assessment of the sustainable withdrawals of water resources in Lebanon. Lastly, the conclusions and further development are presented.

Still, the Agenda21 set a global environmental action plan providing guidelines to be followed by countries. Since then, many countries have developed tools such as environmental assessments and participatory approaches with stakeholders so as to take into account natural resources and constraints and to integrate them with economic and social development perspectives ; such approaches are said be all the more easy to implement at local level when decentralisation is institutionalised ; a study was carried on in three Mediterranean countries (Algeria, Lebanon and Morroco) and shows how environment is taken into account at local level and that the articulation with regional planning is often still challenging.

To demonstrate that these solutions achieve the desired impact, an indicator-based assessment system is needed. This chapter presents the process of developing CITYkeys performance measurement systems for target setting and monitoring. This European smart city indicator framework was developed by analyzing cities' needs, existing indicators, and gaps. The current research sets out to review several indicators, KPI, and performance measurements, along other indicator frameworks on the case studies involving the conceptualisation, development, and monitoring of smart cities in Lebanon and in Malta for comparative purposes. For this purpose, a mixed methods approach was adopted, whereby both interviews and structured surveys were used to collect primary data pertaining to the analyses of the respectively investigated smart cities.

Indeed, farmers may perceive drought, as a climatic risk, differently. This could depend on the physical environment of the farmer, the type and degree of involvement in his agricultural activities as well as the level of impact on his financial well-being (Ashraf and Routray, 2013). In Lebanon and particularly in the Beqaa plain, the majority of agricultural areas are strongly related to groundwater resources during the summer period. Due to the lack of sustainable local development, these resources would be threatened in the case of a probable climate change or a human factor allowing a possible evolution of water stress in the region. Questioning the origin of this phenomenon and its definition from the farmer's point of view can help us to better understand this problem. The objective of this study is therefore to identify the drought by crossing the human and physical elements in the perimeter of the study area.

The results reveal a clear relationship between the morphology of urban and road networks and their evolution over four periods, as well as the influence of the surrounding topography on their configuration. The study recommends that urban areas should be developed in areas with a slope range of 15º or more to improve the urban structure and infrastructure surrounding them. Understanding the evolution and morphology of urban and road networks is essential for urban planners and policymakers to design efficient and sustainable urban development. Future research should use the method employed in this study and supplement it with the creation of a land suitability map using GIS and remote sensing technology to improve current urban planning protocols. The study provides helpful insights for urban developers, planners, and designers in creating successful approaches to urban development and management.

Their importance increases considerably in historical areas, where the richness of cultural heritage has the ability to motivate cultural tourism. This paper emphasizes the sustainable development of urban historical areas based on their potential as cultural tourism sites. It argues that to guarantee the sustainability of any development intervention in these areas, a master planning process must be undertaken to balance all of the aspects of development. It tackles the interconnectedness of these aspects as an approach to their simultaneous development. As a focus of study, this paper raises a question about the ability of a 'heritage trail' an area of direct interactions between parties sharing in urban development in historic areas¬to achieve the sustainability goals of the involved areas. To answer this question, the paper investigates three nodes of interaction stimulated by the heritage trail: conservation and rehabilitation, interpretation, and micro-economic development. To illustrate the validity of the proposed approach, this paper discusses the heritage trail as an approach used in the Cultural Heritage and Urban Development (CHUD) project in the historical core of Saida (Old Saida), Lebanon as a case study.

Cities are turning out to be as communities of knowledge, innovation, and creativity, yet becoming more complex, dynamic, diverse, and intangible. In this context, new strategies and approaches must be considered. Proposing a science park bridges the gap between education, research and industries. It could develop a creative urban regeneration processes, educational development and economic growth. Initiating the project with a sustainable approach will increase knowledge and develop innovated solutions in common areas as water management, alternative forms of energy, oil and gas extraction, industrial advancement, and sustainable urban development. The paper is going to discuss the feasibility of applying a science park in Lebanon as a case study for Middle Eastern developing countries. Applying these strategies on slum areas will improve the urban fabric and enhance the infrastructure of the neighborhood. Ten International case studies that augmented their regions around the world are analyzed to achieve the most efficient science park program that fits the local context. Furthermore, the adopted strategy could be applied in any developing country with similar contexts.	[ { "display_name": "APJ", "id": "https://openalex.org/S4210184401", "type": "journal" } ]

These challenges disproportionately affect disadvantaged rural areas, impacting both natural resources and the livelihoods of local agricultural societies. Urgent transformative measures are essential to address land and water management as well as food security challenges in these disadvantaged areas. Living labs are being called upon to play a key role in addressing these challenges through the development of Nature-based Solutions (NbSs) that are able to provide environmental and socioeconomic benefits towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. The aim of this work is to provide insights on an open innovation ecosystem of Mediterranean Living Labs for the synergetic development and participatory assessment of decentralized wetland-aquaponics, as NbSs are able to address environmental and food security challenges in disadvantaged rural areas. The study addresses the knowledge gap of Living Labs contribution to the development of decentralized wetland-aquaponics and the limited research on small-scale aquaponics systems in rural Mediterranean settings, while revealing the role of public participation in ascertaining the solution and evaluating its feasibility and impacts in light of the local social values and interests in the mountainous area of Akkar al-Atika in Lebanon.

Yet, public policies in such regions remain unsuitable for local conditions. Although this is owed to broad economic, political, and engineering factors, this paper focuses on water project methodologies and local policy design toward sustainable development. Water surface flow formulas utilize simplified assumptions adequate for perennial rivers, but require upgrades to accommodate arid regions and seasonal river behavior. The paper proposes a framework that links engineering to public policy using field data collected in Mount Lebanon, where drought periods are increasing. A dependent variable is defined as an index about community benefits based on water projects. Four independent variables are defined as (X1) the extent to which local communities would contribute to the engineering management and maintenance of water facilities, (X2) the ability to use project output for power supply, (X3) the potential use for agricultural purposes, and (X4) local community amenability and support for the privatization of water civil works. Results showed a statistically significant and positive relationship with X1, X2, and X3 and negative correlation with X4. Public policies need to be designed to involve local communities.

benefits. Sustainable urban development (SUD) practices aim to balance urbanization with preserving and protecting green land and natural resources to achieve greater sustainability. This study evaluated land suitability for SUD in the Nabatiyeh area of Lebanon using a multi-criteria decision analysis technique, the analytical hierarchy process, combined with a geographic information system. The elevations and slopes were the most important criteria, followed by the distances from urban agglomeration and industrial areas, accessibility, and land cover types, with corresponding weights of 34% and 36%, 12%, 9%, 6%, and 3%, respectively. The study created a suitability map for future SUD. This identification assists urban planners and policymakers in making informed decisions regarding the development of urban areas. The study’s findings highlight the efficiency of combining multi-criteria decision analysis with geospatial techniques for urban planning and environmental management in promoting sustainable development and protecting the environment. Future research could explore the possibility of integrating administrative reforms to promote SUD, including improving governance, enhancing the efficiency of governmental agencies responsible for urban development, building scientific capacities, and increasing officials’ accountability.

Air pollution is among the most important environmental issues that need to be managed since it reflects directly and indirectly on the different aspects of human life. This paper presents an assessment of the evolution of air pollution control philosophies at the global level, and it describes advantages and disadvantages of alternate environmental strategies that can be considered in the development of an integrated and comprehensive plan for air quality management at the local level, with Lebanon as a case study of a typical developing country. The proposed strategy considers short-, medium- and long-term schemes that make use of regulatory and market-based instruments, such as pollution charges, and market creation and usage. The short-term scheme identifies serious polluters and improves environmental performance by adopting and enforcing updated environmental standards. Economic incentive concepts constitute the principal philosophy for medium-term application of a comprehensive environmental strategy, mostly applicable at the level of the transportation and energy sectors. Long-term strategies, targeting the industrial sector, aim at achieving a flexible free market in which polluters would compete on the basis of market forces and governmental incentives to attain better environmental performance and increase potential cost savings.

decision-making concerning investments in green energy. However, developing an index that allows for benchmarking and evaluating economic performance and overall sustainability on a global scale is imperative. In this regard, this study introduces the Green Energy Sustainable Investment Index (GESII) as a composite measure utilizing entropy weight and the “Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS)” approach. This index encompasses 47 countries and comprises 22 indicators categorized into four dimensions: social, economic, environmental, and institutional. Over the period spanning from 2006 to 2020, this study analyzes the progression of GESII for forty-seven countries affiliated with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Singapore secures the top position in the overall GESII ranking, followed by Estonia, Brunei Darussalam, the United Arab Emirates, and the Czech Republic. Conversely, Iran and Lebanon occupy the lowest positions in GESII, indicating that these countries have the poorest scores across all four dimensions. In addition to presenting the overall rankings, this study offers comparative analyses of the leading three country profiles for each region within the BRI countries based on GESII. The newly proposed index, GESII, is valuable for guiding investment decisions and contributing to policy discussions.

This underscores a rising corporate trend towards sustainability. Adopting this approach requires fresh methods and technologies to influence behavior changes. Consequently, marketing, when aligned with sustainability principles, becomes a pivotal tool for businesses transitioning to sustainable practices. The food industry, like other sectors, is not exempt from these considerations. This article focuses on examining how food industries in Lebanon are incorporating sustainable development principles into their marketing strategies. By studying their approaches, we aim to identify the level of integration of sustainability within the marketing practices of these industries, identify gaps, and to bring the future scientific research directions in marketing management. Thus, this research is conducted following the post-positivist paradigm and following a hypothetical-deductive approach. Hence the qualitative research and expert evaluation used to collect data due to its applicability to the context of the study. The target respondents are managers of the agri-food industries in order to measure the good practices of sustainable development of these industries and their Marketing strategy based on the 4Ps. Lebanon’s distinct challenges, from environmental to economic, call for specialized solutions. Achieving sustainability involves grasping local nuances, engaging stakeholders, and connecting different sectors. Sustainable marketing emphasizes local products and community ties, offering potential for significant change.

The frequency of traffic crashes in these countries is increasing hastily and dramatically. Public health reports alongside with ‘WHO Global Status Report on Road Safety’ illustrated by ‘Time for Action’, all confirm that road crashes are the leading cause of deaths among youths, which demands urgent initiatives and solutions at both national and local levels. The increase in prosperity and the economic development didn’t actually lead to a real improvement in reducing the level of fatal crashes in these countries. Lost GDP, recessed socio-economic situation and the ongoing increase in fatalities, are all indicators that combine together to bring more attention to the road safety crisis facing the MENA region and Lebanon. When the majority of central governments in these countries are lacking effective means and ways to strengthen and improve road safety management, and when lead agencies involved in handling road safety initiatives at the national level are practically vague, this paper will discuss the ‘bottom-up’ approach of local empowerment for road safety. ‘LERS’ (Local Empowerment for Road Safety) prototype is a vigorous solution which may help local authorities in MENA region to overcome challenges of road safety at all levels. Empowering communities to better approach road safety will lead to positive effects nationwide and lead to advancement towards Sustainable Development Goals SDGs. Local governments can play the role of ‘lead agencies’ in managing and monitoring road safety programs RSP(s), and communities will be interacting effectively towards participating in the decision an implementation of road safety interventions at the educational, engineering, and emergency levels.

Therefore today it is important to look at the management of the natural resources in order to avoid such great over exploration. School environmental education plays an important role in the learning and awareness of children and young people for environmental issues. In this work we analysed the topic “Use of Resources” in the textbooks from thirteen countries from Europe (West to East: Portugal, France, Italy, Malta, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland), from Africa (Senegal, Morocco) and from the Middle East (Lebanon), since the first grade till the end of the secondary school. We used a grid constructed in the context of a European Project “Biohead Citizen” (“Biology Health and Environmental education for better citizenship” STREP, CIT2-CT2004-506015, Carvalho et al. 2004). The results showed that the analysed textbooks give little importance to environmental sustainability as there is a general absence about the role of the society intervention in the management as well as of political sustainability. Although behaviour change towards the environment is scarce, there is some more emphasis given to individual change rather than to social change. This textbook weakness may impair young citizens getting aware of the needs for a sustainable development.

This term means such an improvement that pleases the current requirements without limitation of the prospect of sustaining requirements in future. Many problems face builders while executing projects, especially these projects were decided to be built over difficult topographies, such as rivers, falls, inclinations, caves, ridges, cliffs, and mountains. Construction challenges to build a project over a difficult topography are diverse starting by executing piles, retaining walls, conserving stability, and choosing the proper sustainable materials that can withstand the natural environmental factors. This paper sheds the light on the potential of any site's certain criteria; mostly its topography and slope on the provision of sustainable and ecological buildings. It seeks to recognize the sustainable and ecological variables of site topography, consuming a set of characteristics for each building type. The main aim of this research is to propose guidelines of sustainable construction methods that can be used to enable builders to build over difficult topographies, particularly on mountains. The research therefore depended on a scientific methodology through analyzing a sort of literature sources to structure a theoretical base, and then certain parameters were concluded. These parameters were used to analyze a concentrated case study on a site attaching (Beaufort Castle-Chkif), located in Arnoun South of Lebanon. Data of this field-work was conducted by site-visits, capturing photos, interviews, and questionnaire. This site is envisioned to be tested for building projects over sloped contour lines of Chkif Mountain. The paper provides an application for the development of the guidelines for passive and sustainable capability on favorite orientations on the buildings in difficult sloped areas with respect to the climatic local data, Application of the idea of the sustainable and ecological development in the building construction will be an origin of engineering and scientific inspiration for many coming years. One of the conclusion points is the preferable typology of projects to be built over mountains is touristic and entertainment activity to attract people. The sloped contour lines may be employed to be a potential not threat.

This resulted in an overwhelming footprint affecting species habitat areas leading to biodiversity loss. By definition, urban biodiversity is the diversity of living things within the urban realm. By providing chances for habitat as part of new developments, preserving on-site habitats, and attempting to connect with the local ecosystems, we can help promote biodiversity. Green infrastructure (GI), which includes all semi-natural areas in the urban context, can serve as a vessel for biodiversity. Therefore, the problem can be defined by the urban footprint that expands on the expense of native habitats, leading directly to biodiversity loss and impacts on human health, and indirectly affecting livelihoods. Moreover, often times the approaches are sometimes limited to ‘green’ in more aesthetic ways than operational. It is also important to seek socio-ecological frameworks to promote adequate interaction of urban communities with wildlife. Therefore, this research aims to simulate design parameters for wildlife-inclusive green infrastructure to contribute to the creation of built environments that support urban biodiversity. If equipped with a socio-ecological framework, beyond ‘green’ results can be yielded. Using a case study method, the author will provide an application of the extracted parameters from the literature on a chosen geography with reference of ecological data provided of the ‘Shouf Biosphere Reserve’ of Lebanon to provide supported insight into wildlife-inclusive green infrastructure examples. In the context of this literature, we need to examine the manifestation of those concepts mainly on an operative level with respect to ecology. Also, it is required to examine the socio-cultural aspects of this interaction through architecture. In conclusion, as presented in the case study of SBR, the additional ecological and socio-cultural layers in planning of green infrastructure, can yield beyond ‘green’ results as a whole system designed with both the local ecosystems and urban inhabitants in mind within the landscape. Each geography will display its endemic version of ‘green’ as well. Variations of wildlife species can become parameters that also help shape our built environments. ‘Our’ built environment exists in the larger scope of the natural setting. Nature-based solutions can be implemented for our urban problems. A geographically specific GI network can provide alternative infrastructure for local ecosystems. Therefore, with increasing repercussions of urban expansion on habitat areas, immediate action plans must be formulated to stop species loss.

Work was done by preparing a questionnaire containing three axes to measure that reality. Some statistical methods were used to reach the desired results from this study, and one of the most important results of the study was the lack of A vision and a message that properly establishes the use of accounting methods for sustainable development in the Iraqi banking work, in addition to the absence of cadres and legislation establishing their use, and the absence of transparency regarding their use, with the presence of many obstacles that limit their application. As for the most important recommendations, the study called for developing a vision And a message to all Iraqi banking institutions in order to promote the use of accounting methods for sustainable development, prepare qualified cadres for this use and efficiently through training on their use, optimal use of resources and in a manner that achieves access to societal goals, the development of laws, regulations and instructions that establish this use and make it compulsory and not optional, Reducing corruption in all its forms while eliminating obstacles to implementation.

This paper focuses on the role of the banks in supporting sustainable development. Its objective is to examine recent trends in banking and sustainable development, as well as to assess the implementation and application of the sustainable development policies adopted by the banks in the banking sector in Republic of Macedonia. For that purpose it is made a comprehensive analysis on the trends of “sustainable finance”, as well as research on the practices in the Macedonian banking sector in supporting sustainable society. Namely, at the beginning of the 21st century, the banks in the industrial world have become complex financial organizations that offer a wide variety of services to international markets and control billions of dollars in cash and assets. Supported by the latest technology, banks are working to identify new business niches, to develop customized services, to implement innovative strategies and to capture new market opportunities. By means of their financing policy, banks can then take specific measures to contribute to sustainable entrepreneurship. As the analysis indicates, with few exceptions bank policies in the West Balkans are lagging significantly behind relevant international standards and best practices. Until recently, most Macedonian banks did not consider environmental and social concerns to be particularly relevant to their operations. Today, however, the integration of sustainability into the banking sector of Macedonia has taken two key directions: Support the environmental and social responsibility through financial contribution in environmental initiatives and socially responsible initiatives Integration of environmental and other sustainable development criteria into lending and investment strategy of the banks Therefore, the paper reviews the environmental and social policies of the selected big and medium sized banks in Macedonia, as well as policy and the practices if the specialized promotion bank-Macedonian Bank for Development Promotion.

Protection of ecological land significantly promotes the sustainable development of society, the economy, ecology, and regional ecological security. The present research used Yixing city as a case study area, which is located in the southern part of Jiangsu Province. Firstly, following previous research into the relationships between ecological land use classification and current land use classification, the vector data for ecological land were acquired from the current land use vector data for Yixing. Secondly, the landscape security pattern theory and the model of minimum cumulative resistance were used to construct a comprehensive landscape security pattern after systematic analysis of the soil and water conservation, biodiversity protection, vernacular culture protection, and natural landscape protection processes related to ecological land. The overall landscape was then classified into four grades. Finally, the comprehensive landscape security pattern and the current ecological land maps were overlaid. The current ecological land areas were classified into lower, low, middle, and high security pattern levels, and these areas covered 50528.29 hm2, 69942.53 hm2, 34777.44 hm2 and 2335.07 hm2, respectively, which accounted for 32.07%, 44.38%, 22.07%, and 1.48% of the total ecological land area, respectively. In the lower security pattern level ecological land, forest land and cultivated land, located in the southern hilly area, were the priority use types. In the low security pattern level ecological land, cultivated land, and water surrounding the city were the priority use types. In the middle security pattern level ecological land, water and cultivated land that was away from the city were the priority use types, and in the high security pattern level ecological land, water that was located far from the west bank of Taihu Lake was the only land use type. This study makes recommendations for improving ecological land based on the condition of the different land use types found in the ecological land areas. Identifying the landscape security pattern levels for ecological land and giving priority to protecting ecological land are the main approaches used to expand ecological land in urban construction areas in regions that are undergoing accelerated urbanization. This study provides scientific guidance that will aid urban sustainable development decision making, and land use planning and management in Yixing. It also provides scientific methods for ecological land planning that could be used in other areas with similar land conditions. 参考文献相似文献引证文献

A study of Evaluating the constraints and opportunities of Maize production in the West Region of Cameroon was carried out using primary and secondary data collected. One hundred and twenty (120) maize farmers randomly selected from eight (8) villages were interviewed using structured questionnaire. Data from the study were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution, percentages, and inferential statistics such as multiple linear regressions. The study found that most maize farmers in the study area were small scale farmers and are full time farmers, the major maize production constraints was poor access to credit facilities. it was also found any unit increase in the quantity of any of the resources used for maize production will increase maize output by the value of their estimated coefficients respectively , however to raise maize production, the study recommend that financial institutions such as agricultural and community banks should be established in the study area with the simple procedure of securing loans. The relevant government agencies and nongovernmental organization should mobilize the maize farmers to form themselves into formidable group so that they can derive maximum benefit of collective union.

Based on these values, the sustainability index of dairy cattle breeding system in Padang Panjang City is categorized as “quite sustainable”. An increase in the value of the sustainability index can be done by improving the 15 sensitive attributes of 45 attributes of the system’s sustainability assessment. Analysis of dependency between factors using prospective analysis resulted in 7 (seven) key factors influencing the development of dairy farming system. The key factors are: (1) milk price, (2) feeding capacity, (3) feed industry, (4) utilization of livestock waste, (5) job socialization, (6) development of cooperative, and (7) microfinance (bank/credit). In order to improve the sustainability status for the future (long term), the scenario that needs to be done is a progressive-optimistic scenario by making a thorough improvement on all the sensitive attributes in enhancing the status of the region.

The disappearance of tropical rainforests is a critical environmental problem in Africa as well as the in the rest of the world. Since this problem affects all of us everyone ought to participate in its solution. The speed with which tropical rainforests in West and Central Africa are disappearing is alarming - almost 2 million hectares of tropical forests are lost each year. If we do not begin to halt the destruction of these forests in the near future, it may become too late to preserve them. The cost of this loss will be enormous for mankind and for the environment. While the underlying causes of deforestation are usually attributed to factors external to forests-such as policies and institutions, this report takes an integrated approach, examining the subject matter within the context of the larger context of development. The report looks at the beneficial role of forests, the affect of deforestation on climate change in Africa, the role of women, deforestation and sustainable agriculture, forest use and exploitation, the participation of local communes and nongovernmental organizations, the role of public coordination among interested stakeholders, coordination between Africa and the rest of the world, research and statistics, and the role of the World Bank in supporting policies of sustainable forest development.

The main objective of this research is to study the impact of the new proposed development of Bani-Suif waterfront on Nile River hydraulics, developments include creating a walkway extended in the Nile and open theater which supported by piles inside the Nile. A mathematical simulation using Delft3D was created to represent the new development. Three interconnected grids with different grid sizes were created and then the domain decomposition technique was used to represent piles with small sizes inside the large grid. Model was calibrated using field data such as hydraulic measurements, water levels and discharges. It was concluded that there was no effect of the proposed development on water flow in the main channel of the Nile River except in the places close to the corniche on the west bank at the minimum discharge condition after the implementation of Bani-Suif corniche, which does not affect the sustainability of the project.

The electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) crisis is a key and pressing environmental problem, with considerable attention focused on the transboundary movement of discarded electronics from the global North to informal e-waste processing hubs in the global South. Initial, and still dominant, discussion of these flows and the destination hubs was a somewhat caricatured portrayal of the toxic transfer to “digital dumps” in the South of the refuse resulting from overconsumption in the North, giving rise to e-waste trade bans as accepted solutions to the problem. More recently, scholars have considered the tensions between the economic gains and environmental efficiencies of processing e-waste in the South and the health and environmental risks it poses, especially to the local communities. To date, however, little work has explored the development desires of e-waste dependent communities nor strategies to transform informal e-waste hubs into sustainable and clean industrial sectors formally integrated with e-waste management systems from exporting countries. This dissertation addresses this knowledge gap by conducting a Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology on one instance of North-to-South e-waste trade between Israel and the West Bank from June 2014 – December 2015. Based in the West Line informal e-waste hub in South-West Hebron, West Bank, this dissertation describes a PAR method that worked with the West Line community to articulate an improved e-waste industry and implement tangible initiatives to achieve it. The participatory process revealed that this long-term informal e-waste hub has grown economically dependent on imported e-waste, and in contrast to mainstream solutions that seek to ban North-to-South e-waste trade, the local community articulated a development trajectory to regulate and transition this industry in an equitable and environmentally-friendly manner. This dissertation is divided into five components: an introduction, three manuscripts, and a conclusion. The introduction begins with a broad overview of the e-waste literature with a focus on geographer’s contribution to this field, followed by the specific objectives and research questions that guided this dissertation. I then provide the geopolitical context of the Israel-West Bank e-waste economy along with a description of the PAR method that guided this research. The first manuscript describes the PAR approach carried out in the West Line community to upgrade the social and environmental conditions of the West Line e-waste hub. This approach contributed to the critique of “rapid participatory development” and the search for ways to recover its initial goals, detailing a unique adaptation of the Delphi-method that allowed the facilitation of a broadly endorsed development trajectory within a heterogeneous and conflicted community. The second manuscript details a multi-method study that triangulates information from over 300 qualitative interviews, field observations, and structured interviews from a systematic stratified randomized sample drawn from all operating e-waste businesses in the West Line. This study uncovered an e-waste processing industry that imported 16,958 – 25,168 tons of e-waste in 2015, creating 381 enterprises, 1,098 jobs, and USD $28.5 million gross value added to the national economy. This study not only reveals the magnitude of a largely hidden industry, but also details an adaptable method to analyze the quantities of e-waste flows and economic gains of analogous informal e-waste processing hubs. The third manuscript employs a dis/articulations perspective to analyze the inclusionary and exclusionary impacts of Israel’s new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy and subsequent creation of a regulated e-waste commodity chain. Through a detailed historical analysis of the West Line e-waste industry, I reveal the geopolitical and economic forces that delinked this region from an economy dependent on Israeli employment and subsequently linked it to the Israeli e-waste commodity chain. This manuscript challenges conceptions of “extended” and “responsibility” in EPR laws to integrate pre-existing e-waste economies into regulated e-waste commodity chains. The conclusion reflects on the PAR process to achieve the West Line communities articulated goal of regulating a local e-waste industry and the levels of friction encountered by various Israeli and Palestinian stakeholders that control or influence this industry. I extend findings from this study to challenge international e-waste policy to incorporate the voices of e-waste dependent communities in the South as a moral compass to determine how to best manage transboundary e-waste trade.

The exploitation in the west of China has become a very important topic in China's current economic development. But the west of China locates in a very special zone, the ecological environment is very fragile. It becomes an urgent problem to pursue sustainable development for ecological environment and how to ensure economic development meanwhile in the west. Based on the analysis of ecological environment in the west, we extend the thought of “three circle pattern” for sustainable devclopment of ecological environment in semi-arid area, which proposed by professor Zhang Xinshi and has been demonstrated in Ordos plateau to whole the west of China in order to instruct the environment development in the west of China. We also give some suggestions in media development, enforcing the role of Bank, education organizations, agroforestry sciences and technological research, private consultants, establishing farmer organizations etc. in order to enforce the software and policies development for exploitation in the west in China.

Created by a Peace Corps member in 1997 in the Malian village of Fombori, the Culture Bank is composed of three complementary elements: it protects the cultural heritage from illicit trafficking through a museum, promotes sustainable local development through the provision of micro-credit loans, and benefits the broader community through an education center. Supported by several international organizations (World Bank, ICCROM), the Culture Bank initiative embodies the paradox of cultural heritage and development projects torn between the local and global scales, and between local communities and international organizations. Exported into Togo and Benin after 2007, these banks reveal the unexpected results of international programs (e.g., World Heritage listing) on local initiatives. They also highlight fundamental misunderstandings between the French actors engaged in cultural heritage protection and those involved in sustainable development in West Africa. Ultimately, their case raises questions about the disappearance of the ‘Southern State’ as an interlocutor for funding partners.

A “strong fisc, weak finance” situation is shown in West-China economy development. Financial resources are distributed irrationally in central cities, small and medium-sized cities and countryside. Three tier progressive financial layout should be built in these cities and countryside, providing west-China economic society sustainable development with power in accordance to interactive relationship between economy and finance. The government should guide these cities to be a funding center of local area and put funding assembly and radiation effect into full play so as to bring a rapid development of local economy; as for small and medium-sized cities, small and medium-sized banks taking non-governmental banks as their main body should be developed, establishing credit guarantee mechanism of multiple level and reforming rural credit cooperatives; as for the development of countryside economy, policy finance supporting function upon countryside economy should be paid much attention, normalizing and guiding non-governmental credit behavior, and setting up rural insurance institutions of various levels.

Investment is the major factor of economical growth in china's western areas. Since the implementation of the strategy of the Development of the West Region, the government has given preferences to investment in western areas, while the private capital has been flowing to the eastern areas through savings deposits and loans in commercial banks, which became the obstacle in the economical development. Calculating the pushing effects of the investment on western china's development and analyzing the difficult situation for investing in china's west region, the article explores the effective way to unravel this problem in order to make us better use external resources and to realize the sustainable development in economy.

The sustainable development of the economic zone requires the improved our understanding of the current status of ecological landscapes and their changes in the past within the region. The target of this study covers 143440 km2 in area, including 9 cities in Fujian Province, 3 cities in Guangdong Provinces, and 1 city in Zhejiang Province within the economic zone on the western bank of Taiwan Straits. We quantified landscape pattern metrics with land use and cover (LUC) data derived from the Landsat TM imagery acquired in 2000 and 2005 and from HJ-1 imagery acquired in 2010. We computed changes in landscape pattern and performed statistical analysis with the SPSS program to determine driving forces for the landscape dynamics. Our results indicated that the area of agriculture land, wetland, and grassland was decreasing due to the expansion of urban land area between 2000 and 2010. The most noteworthy decrease in area was observed in agriculture land, whose area was reduced by 14.0%. At the same time, the area of urban land increased by 38.6%. The values of largest patch index (LPI) decreased for all the LUC types except for urban land, which underwent a steep increase from 0.1 to 0.4 in LPI. Urban land became the dominant landscape element in 2010. The values of landscape shape index (LSI) slightly increased for all the LUC types except for agriculture land, which experienced a sharp decrease from 325.1 to 315.9 in LSI. The values of mean patch area (Area_MN) varied slightly for all the LUC types except for forestland, which showed a noticeable increase from 560.6 to 787.6 in Area_MN. We choose the economic factors and policy factors to analyze what drove the landscape dynamics in the economic zone on the western bank of Taiwan Straits from 2000 to 2010. We found that the two factors jointly contributed to the landscape dynamics in the study area. The growth in human population and the reduction in agricultural land represented the major conflict for the economic zone. The future economic development on the western bank of Taiwan Straits will be more sustainable if the continuous shrinking of agriculture land is under control in the region. At the same time, ecological resources need to be improved, environmental-friendly development should be encouraged, and long-term strategic planning needs to be enhanced. 参考文献相似文献引证文献

Abstract Considerable debate surrounds the appropriate mix of policies to drive fishing-led development among the developing nations in the South Pacific. Since the 1970s, South Pacific small island states have committed themselves to policies of tuna industry domestication, but serious doubts have emerged as to whether these can deliver improvements to the well-being of Pacific peoples. An alternative policy approach has been suggested by development economists that would see Pacific Island nations largely abandon direct involvement in the industry and return to collective efforts to secure reasonable access fees from distant water fishing nations that take the majority of the region's tuna catches. This article argues that one reason that this policy shift has not been taken is that tuna industry domestication policies remain bound up within the influential discourse of “resource nationalism.” It is contended that any movement toward a more environmentally and developmentally sustainable ocean fisheries policy will require close engagement and transformation of this sovereignty-focused narrative.

As a new practice in finance, world communities are incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) interests into our financial practice terming it as Green Finance. ESG`s core concept and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 help spread this west evolved concept to developing countries. Nepal, a developing country in need of foreign funding, seems to have succumbed to green finance practices as it has become one of the fundamental goals of key economic players such as the World Bank and the IMF. This qualitative research tried to explore the present positioning of Nepalese commercial banks regarding incorporation of the concepts of green finance in their financial planning, decision making and operation by collecting data through seven semi structured interviews with commercial bankers. Findings are analyzed under different themes i.e. understanding of green finance, common green finance practices and challenges faced while implementing it. This study concluded that green finance being a nascent concept is superficially understood, is practiced just to meet the minimum NRB guidelines, has economical and operational constraints, and needs rational amendments in guidelines for local acceptance yielding desired outcomes.

In the Upper West and East regions of Ghana, Pump Management Committees (PMCs), technically known as Water and Sanitation Committees (WATSAN) in the water sector, are institutionalized organs for community water management. A survey of twenty-seven (27) of these institutions in six districts across the Upper West and East regions show that they have evolved fair and elaborate mechanisms for operation and management water points at the community level. The mechanisms instituted have ensured successful management of pumps-pump sites, routine management and pump site cleanliness-resulting in overall improvement in water supply and general community development in pump communities the two regions. Despite these achievements, the majority of PMCs keep no adequate records on their operations. They also operate no bank accounts. It is also worth noting that although elaborate levy systems have been instituted by PMCs and this may explain why many pump sites are in disrepair in the two regions. To sustain the achievement made so far by PMCs, it is recommended that the District Assemblies inculcate the culture of participatory decision-making, revenue mobilization and saving as well as records keeping in PMCs in the Upper West and East Regions.

Bamboo based agroforestry frameworks are one of the significant part to improve financial status, yearly pay of partners as well as climate cordial. In Ethiopia, bamboos are established on the waterway bank and territory region to safeguard the streams from various defilement and soil protection. Bam-boos reaping can remunerate the financial misfortunes of agrarian yield because of water shortage. Bamboos are great soil fastener because of presence of stringy root foundation and subsequently assume a significant part in soil and water protection. It has the potential for compelling carbon sequestration, subsequently assisting in countering the emanation of ozone harming substances, a worldwide temperature alteration and environment with changing. It additionally brings down the power of light and shields from destructive UV radiations. Planting of bamboo lines in east-west bearing diminishes conceal impact, in this way decline the dirt and air temperature and sun oriented radiation, which straightforwardly impact the dirt water vanishing and moistness. Leaves of bamboo were used as fod-der, for animals. So bamboo based agroforestry plantations can be grown extensively in river bank and terrain areas of Ethiopia to boost the socio-economic conditions of farmers and ecological sustainability. Here, we reviewed the potential socioeconomic and environmental benefits of bamboo agroforestry and accentuate implications on sustainable rural development in Ethiopia.

Aim. To identify trends and directions of development of ESG-agenda of the Russian banking sector in the new geopolitical environment. Objectives. To analyze the reaction of the Russian banking sector to the promotion of ESGagenda by the West in the pre-sanctions period and the change of priorities after the introduction of large-scale financial and technological sanctions for Russia; to determine the required transformation of business strategies and risk management systems; to propose additional measures of support from the state to increase the priority of sovereign technologies in the implementation of ESG-transformation and the development of a competitive national system of standards. Methods. The authors applied a mixed method of analysis, combining qualitative and quantitative data, to form the empirical base of the study. Content analysis and empirical methods were used to analyze qualitative data. In turn, quantitative data were processed using statistical and logical tools. Results. The conducted research allowed to confirm the effectiveness of ESG-tool in the realization of the concept of sustainable development. It was determined that the significant driving force of ESG-transformation today is mainly large banks. However, the potential of ESG-transformation on the part of banks may be exhausted, and the practical part of fulfillment of plans reflected in their ESG-policies requires additional incentives from the state. Conclusions. Based on the results of the conducted research, it becomes clear that it is necessary to form a competitive Russian sovereign ESG-model, which should include a national regulatory framework, technological standards, and domestic platform IT management systems. Strengthening the work in this direction’ financial market participants are most able to influence the introduction of innovations in the sphere of tools for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) and national projects, to take into account national interests in view of ESG-agenda realization, to ensure their development and financing.

Sustainable development of a country helps to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and advance the transition to low-carbon, resource-efficient and inclusive economies. Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is one of the important process for the management of the coast using an integrated approach to achieve sustainability, regarding all aspects of the coastal zone, including geographical and political boundaries. In 2010, the Government of India had launched Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project (ICZMP) to conserve, protect and manage the coastal and marine ecosystems, pollution abatement and livelihood security of the coastal communities with the assistance of the World Bank. The ICZM project in India was implemented in identified coastal stretches of the states of Gujarat, Odisha and West Bengal. Under this project, activities related to conservation of the coastal ecosystems such as mangrove plantation, shelterbelt plantation, coral transplantation, enhancement of livelihood security of the coastal communities, pollution abatement in coastal areas, capacity building, etc. was undertaken. After almost 10 years of the commencement of the project, the satisfactory implementation of various activities in all the three states is evident from the numerous achievements under ICZM.

In the logic of the forced industrial growth, followed by the 1990s’ decline, small and medium-sized cities located on the banks of the Lower Danube, in Romania, Bulgaria, and Serbia, now have the chance to redefine their spatial and social identity within the Danube corridor, capitalizing on the former/abandoned industrial lands. Changes of economic profile and political environment have brought to these cities serious socio-demographic phenomena of shrinking and decline. Paradoxically, the natural values related to the presence of the Danube – the waterfront vegetation, oysters, lakes, islands, and beaches – together with the ruins of the former industries re-covered by the vegetation, are spatial elements that outline the premises of a green redefinition of the entire Danube’s corridor. In order to improve the spatial development discrepancies, existing along Danube between the recognizable civilized west segment and the wild south-east, it is necessary to drive attention to cities and villages on Lower Danube that can be harmonized in a coherent and diverse system, planned for a sustainable development. This chapter explores the ways in which the landscape values of the Lower Danube small and medium-sized cities can be used for improving the river green and blue infrastructure and its ecosystem services.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to show why African countries, in West and Central Africa (WCA) particularly, are not able to exploit the potential of crowdfunding and maintain the activities of local platforms. Research Design and Methods: To achieve our purpose, we used the hypothetico-deductive methodology. Faced with panel data, this study uses logistic regression models (Fixed Effect, Random Effect, and Mixed Effect), covering the period 2010-2019 for twenty WCA countries (West and Central Africa). Originality and Contribution: To our knowledge, this study is among the first to explore the factors upstream of the deployment of local crowdfunding platforms, based on basic infrastructure, technological and communication innovation, education, and the legal framework and financial system. This research contributes to the current debate on the development of crowdfunding in sub-Saharan Africa as well as to the future models to be adopted so that this activity is sustainable at the local level. Findings and Results: The study points out that the infrastructure of information and communication technologies, based on the penetration of the Internet and mobile telephony, significantly influences the deployment of the national platform. Nevertheless, the basic infrastructure such as electricity and urbanization variables, a legal framework based on the business creation score, education, and the weakness of the financial development system constitute an obstacle to claiming development in long-term and sustainable local crowdfunding activities. Following these striking results, the study highlights a series of levers on which legislators in WCA countries can act to meet the crowdfunding challenges of tomorrow. Implications: By proposing three research levers, this study should promote and support the development of crowdfunding from a pedagogical point of view by emphasizing entrepreneurship and emerging technologies in education at the level of professional or university training, from the infrastructure, access to physical and digital infrastructure by emphasizing the importance of regional partnerships, creating partnerships with traditional African banks, and to prevent risks, build trust and ensure the security of investments, decision makers must establish the law on alternative finance activities (Crowdfunding, cryptocurrency).

“Sustainability” is a buzzword. Sustainable world, Sustainable development, Environment Sustainability, Socio-political Sustainability, Economic Sustainability are the various catch phrases, that are inherently interlinked to each other and are at the core of discussion for almost all individuals and organisations, ranging from International bodies like United Nations, World Bank, UNICEF etc. to every economic nation, every individual country is talking about sustainability. So what exactly is this “sustainability” that everybody’s talking about? Isn’t it consuming at a pace which is in conformity to its natural replenishment, or to say while you eat remember not to engulf what belongs to your children. Sustainability is the intent to provide the best outcomes for the human and natural environments both now and into the indefinite future. Sustainability relates to the continuity of economic, social, institutional and environmental aspects of human society, as well as the non-human environment. Here it is appropriate to quote the popular definition of Sustainable development as given by the Brundtland Report (of the United Nations, WECD, 1987) which defines it as a “development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generation to meet their own needs”. Today is the age of Globalization, where the east is no longer limited within its boundaries rather it is looking towards west and vice-versa. Efforts are made to intermingle both the worlds for a better and sustainable world. In this backdrop the present paper seeks to discuss in detail in line with recent and earlier literature on the subject of Sustainability and Sustainable development, its evolution and growth, and how the developed countries of the west and the developing economies of the east will together realize the vision of a Sustainable world. Keywords: sustainability, sustainable development, sustainable world, dimensions to sustainability.

This paper discusses the transport and environmental procedures of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and reviews its loans in the transport sector. The EBRD has the promotion of environmentally sound and sustainable development as part of its founding charter. The EBRD's Transport Operations Policy has four operating principles: (1) a comprehensive view of the transport sector; (2) a belief that competitive markets provide the best hope of guiding the economies of both East and West; (3) guiding the development of transport networks by economic priorities and technical efficiency; and (4) giving priority to integrating Central and Eastern Europe with other parts of the world and to enhancing the environment. Its Environmental Policy includes the adoption of adequate environmental assessment, managing, planning, audit and monitoring procedures throughout its activities. Projects in which the EBRD has invested include: (1) the M1/M15 motorway in Hungary; (2) completion of a 32km section of Trans-European Motorway in Bulgaria; (3) the Budapest Public Transport Rehabilitation Project; and (4) a feasibility study for the Slovenia-Hungary rail link. Some lessons from the EBRD's experience are stated. For the covering abstract see IRRD 870256.

Not much is known in the literature concerning the role of trade-oriented policies in promoting infrastructural development particularly for African countries. This study examines the role of trade liberalization on infrastructural development in Africa using data from 15 member-countries in the Economic Community of West African states (ECOWAS) over the period 1993 to 2018. Data was obtained from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators and the African Development Bank. Measures of infrastructure considered include transport, energy, telecommunication and the composite infrastructure index. Findings are provided with use of the PARDL model. The results showed no significant effect of trade liberalization on all measures of infrastructure except for telecommunication where significant positive effects were observed but only in the long run. Long run estimates also showed negative effect of increase in tax revenue on infrastructure development specifically for transport. Findings further showed positive effects of increase in real income on energy and the composite index on infrastructure in the long run with short run results depicting negative effects. Evidence provided suggests the key role of trade liberalization in boosting infrastructure development mainly for telecommunication. In pursuing trade-oriented programs, governments in the region should focus on promoting infrastructure in the areas of transport and Energy as the region will continue to lag behind in these key areas in the advent of trade policies. Efforts should also be made to increase budgetary allocations to infrastructure investment in the attempt to maximize trade benefits and ensure sustainable development. This again is important as governments in the African region seek to pursue larger trade bloc operations in the AfCFTA.

Multilateral institutions remain uniquely qualified to ‘nudge’ urban consumption patterns and thus influence the state of the global commons by (1) valuing natural resources as a source of wealth and heritage, (2) helping to protect natural resources, and (3) facilitating networked action by major cities to shift toward more sustainable patterns of production and consumption. Urban youth today have grown up in a much more complex and interconnected world than previous generations, yet they continue to play a secondary role in urban development, and institutions should start involving them in defining the sustainable city of 2025.

India is endowed with tremendous water wealth which is yet to be harnessed to its potential. Reasons for slow pace of development of water resources projects vary from lack of financial resources to deterrents sometimes posed by Environmentalists. Sustainable Development of any project is however received with great enthusiasm by the society. The models of sustainability are also designed to meet both economic and environmental objectives in time and space. Exploitation of natural resources beyond their regenerative capacities has led to environmental degradation worldwide. Sustainable Development therefore aims at maintaining an equilibrium between human needs and economic developments within the parameters of environmental conservation while ensuring tradeoffs between desired production-consumption levels. Indira Sagar Project is an ambitious project on river Narmada. It has an installed capacity of 1000 MW and is located at Punasa in the district of Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh. The Project is the biggest in India on its completion in terms of its storage capacity. Due to its tremendous water holding capacity it will provide water to all the downstream projects i.e. Omkareshwar Project and Maheshwar Project in Madhya Pradesh and Sardar Sarovar Project in Gujarat. The biggest ever man made lake in India will be created (913 sq. km) to hold about 12 billion cubic metre of water storage in the reservoir of Indira Sagar Project. As a result of reservoir creation, 91,348 ha of land would be submerged affecting 249 villages in Indira Sagar Project. Narmada river is the west flowing river having its origin in Amarkantak in M.P. All old civilisations flourished near the banks of perennial rivers of which remains are found. The Narmada valley is no exception and as such the valley is very rich in archaeologically important wealth. The Archaeological Monuments are thus required to be saved from permanent submergence as also the important mounds are to be excavated for further collection of knowledge about historic value buried under earth before the large tracts of such location gets submerged. An ambitious programme of salvaging the heritage getting affected due to construction of Indira Sagar Project is currently underway. The Power component (Dam & Power Houses) of the Project is being constructed by NHDC Ltd. (A Joint Venture of NHPC & Govt. of Madhya Pradesh). In the present paper an attempt has been made to highlight the various efforts being made to translocate/restore/retrieve the archaeological wealth available scattered in the submergence area of the project scientifically. The construction programme is scheduled in such a way that no monument comes under submergence before it is properly translocated/restored. The case study also reflects the benefits of adopting joint participatory approach while constructing large dam projects.

This paper describes how major redevelopment opportunities in city centers are rare. After the development of London’s Docklands and the redevelopment opportunities brought about by the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea area in London, with the iconic Battersea Power Station as a focal point presents one of the most significant city center redevelopment opportunities in Europe. Redevelopment of this scale requires the cooperation of the private and public sectors and the development of an integrated transport and land use strategy for the area. The paper presents unique challenges in balancing diverse interests and managing stakeholders in order to promote sustainable development, while maximizing the economic potential of the area. The Greater London Authority (GLA) has defined the Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea area as an “Opportunity Area” (OA) where it wishes to facilitate a step change in the type of urban re-development. It is located on the south bank of the River Thames, on the fringes of central London and the West End. It includes significant areas of derelict land, including the Power Station site and industrial sites, and has been identified in the London Plan as an area that can accommodate significant new employment and housing. However, much of the area is poorly served by transport, and although a number of major developers have assembled portfolios of land for potential development, the existing transport infrastructure cannot support the density of development which they seek. As a result, one developer has already put forward proposals for a privately funded extension of the London Underground network to serve their site at Battersea Power Station. The need to integrate transport and land use was recognized early on. The GLA developed an Opportunity Area Planning Framework (OAPF) for this area and Transport for London (TfL) provided the transport input for the OAPF. Funding for transport schemes in London is under pressure, and the value of private sector finance is becoming increasingly important, however a balance is required between the specific commercial interests of landowners and the wider benefits which can be gained through well planned transport interventions. This paper describes the transport study that was undertaken to test the impact of the different development scenarios on the existing transport infrastructure and to appraise potential transport interventions required to support the extent of proposed development. The results of this study have been incorporated into the OAPF document. The VNEB OA was the first in London to be the subject of an integrated land use and transport study, which involved working with a consortium of land owners and public sector bodies with interests in the OA. Public Transport and Highway models were developed for the transport study based on existing TfL models. The models were refined and improved for the OA and surrounding area and updated to a 2008 base. They were then used to test five OA development scenarios, with the largest proposing 16,750 new homes and 27,000 new jobs. Planning issues such as increased household sizes, public transport accessibility and car parking restrictions were incorporated into the modeling process. Through extensive stakeholder consultation, a wide range of transport initiatives was refined and grouped into integrated packages appropriate to each development scenario. These included potential extensions to the London Underground, light rail and bus options, as well as improved pedestrian and cycle links, including a possible new pedestrian bridge across the River Thames. Much of the existing transport infrastructure is already close to capacity at peak hours, thus the potential of proposed transport solutions to reduce pressure on these in future years became a significant part of the formulation and assessment of the transport packages. With the benefit of the transport modeling tests, the transport packages were appraised using both the United Kingdom (UK) Department of Transport WebTAG methodology, and TfL guidance to inform the OAPF. This appraisal included assessments with relation to sustainability, accessibility, integration, safety, environment and emissions. The Transport Study recommended the appropriate level of transport packages that would be required to achieve integration between each proposed land use and associated travel demand. It has set the scene for a number of subsequent studies, both within the VNEB OA and at other Opportunity Areas across London. A planning application has now been made for redevelopment of the Battersea Power Station Site.

Sustainable construction is a way for the building industry to move towards achieving sustainable development, taking into account environmental, socio‐economic and cultural issues. Buildings, infrastructure and the environment are inextricably linked. Energy, materials, water and land are all consumed in the construction and operation of buildings and infrastructure. These built structures are also part of our living environment, affecting our living conditions, social well‐being and health. It is therefore important to explore environmentally and economically sound design and development techniques to ensure that buildings and infrastructure are sustainable, healthy and affordable. The objective of this paper is to investigate the role that the construction industry is playing in the sustainable development management globally and in Lebanon particularly. Survey questionnaires were distributed to main construction industry players: Contractors, Architects/Engineers and Owners/Developers. These questionnaires are designed to collect information on companies’ environmental awareness and social responsibilities and current practices that include land development, material selections, energy efficiency, construction operations, waste handling, storage facilities, sustainable designs and so on. The information is then analysed and recommendations are made on how to learn from socially responsible companies and how to improve the overall sustainable development of the construction industry in Lebanon.

The Lebanese electricity system has been evaluated in terms of its sustainability. An integrated approach was adopted to assess the life-cycle technical, environmental, energy and economic attributes of the system. The findings show that the Lebanese electricity system is characterized by a weak performance in all analysed aspects related to the sustainability of energy systems. Specifically, the system lacks adequacy and security leading to a supply–demand deficit and poor diversity. It gives rise to significant environmental emissions (including green-house gases), and produces large economic inefficiencies. The costs and benefits of optimising the performance of the centralised electricity system are presented, indicating substantial net benefits (together with considerable benefits in reduced environmental impacts across the life-cycle assessment categories, including carbon emissions) from improving the transmission and distribution networks, upgrading existing conventional plants to their design standards, and shifting towards the use of natural gas. The expected levelised cost of various energy sources in Lebanon also indicates that renewable energy sources are competitive alternatives at the present time.

Abstract After years of war, Lebanon is witnessing an era of reconstruction and development. Worldwide experience has proven, however, that development cannot and should not be accomplished at the expense of the environment and natural resources. Thus, guiding Lebanon towards a sustainable development path is a must. Lebanese financial institutions, which are a major player in the market, have the potential to accelerate the sustainable development of the country. This paper investigates the actual role played by Lebanese financial institutions in the quest for sustainable development and offers practical recommendations that should help this sector improve its performance regarding sustainability issues.

Cultural assets are vital aspects for any urban development process. Their importance increases considerably in historical areas, where the richness of cultural heritage has the ability to motivate cultural tourism. This paper emphasizes the sustainable development of urban historical areas based on their potential as cultural tourism sites. It argues that to guarantee the sustainability of any development intervention in these areas, a master planning process must be undertaken to balance all of the aspects of development. It tackles the interconnectedness of these aspects as an approach to their simultaneous development. As a focus of study, this paper raises a question about the ability of a ‘heritage trail’—an area of direct interactions between parties sharing in urban development in historic areas—to achieve the sustainability goals of the involved areas. To answer this question, the paper investigates three nodes of interaction stimulated by the heritage trail: conservation and rehabilitation, interpretation, and micro-economic development. To illustrate the validity of the proposed approach, this paper discusses the heritage trail as an approach used in the Cultural Heritage and Urban Development (CHUD) project in the historical core of Saida (Old Saida), Lebanon as a case study.

In contrast with the “top-down” approach to development, the dominant methodology in Lebanon, I emphasize rather the “bottom-up” approach where all stakeholders have equal opportunities to participate in policy formulation and implementation. The bottom-up or participatory approach to sustainable development has hardly been tested for urban development and management in Lebanon. This research concerns the sustainable rehabilitation of the built environment in the area of Zouk Mosbeh (ZM) in Lebanon. This area of Lebanon as with most other parts of the country suffered extensive infrastructure damage and displacement of people during the civil war. Since the seizure of hostilities, ZM has witnessed unprecedented physical growth, inviting huge problems of unplanned urban growth, traffic congestion, solid wastes, and pollution. A triangulation method has been employed, which combines both semi-structured interviews and subjective surveys to enhance understanding of the sustainable urban planning and management of ZM. The results showed that top-down command and control measures, useful as these are, may not produce an effective sustainable urban ZM, but a bottom-up approach to urban management is needed. The participatory process where all stakeholders are involved in the policy and implementation process, would allow them to take ownership of the sustainable development process. The study is expected to yield some policy recommendations to promote sustainable rehabilitation of ZM in Lebanon, encouraging a collaborative approach to sustainable urban development. The research is likely to be of significance to the government of Lebanon, the Zouk Mosbeh local authority, and policy makers in developing countries.

Road transportation worldwide is undergoing a rapid transition to more sustainable alternative fuel vehicle technologies as an effective means of dealing with climate change and related challenges. Several well-to-wheel studies have been done in mostly industrialized countries to assess the environmental impacts of these technologies as compared to conventional fuel vehicles. This study is a well-to-wheel assessment for the case of Lebanon and similar fuel-importing countries in the developing world where energy and transportation infrastructure are typically underdeveloped. The study considers the energy use, GHG and criteria pollutant emissions and economic costs for conventional and potentially feasible alternative fuel vehicle pathways for the Lebanese case in order to inform transition strategies to alternative fuels over the near, medium and long-terms. Results show that electric vehicles are beneficial for the long term as they require costly charging infrastructure and a clean electricity mix. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are attractive for the medium term, with gasoline or diesel hybrid electric vehicles the most feasible and beneficial technologies in the short-term. A sensitivity analysis showed that natural gas-based vehicles are competitive at high driving mileage, while locally produced biodiesel from waste cooking oil proved beneficial if emission controls are enforced.

This paper reviews the results from a field survey of the impact of the built environment on the physical environment in the coastal area of Zouk Mosbeh (ZM), Lebanon. This area suffered extensive infrastructure damage and displacement of people during the civil war, followed by unprecedented unplanned urban growth. The survey was undertaken in 2005 and 2006 using a triangulation method which combined semi-structured interviews, designed questionnaires and objective surveys. The survey was not only to analyze the nature and extent of environmental degradation but also was to produce guidance for use by built-environment professionals, practitioners and policy makers for achieving sustainable rehabilitation of the built environment sector in Lebanon. The results suggest that a bottom-up approach to urban management involving all stakeholders in the policy and implementation process is needed to allow them take ownership of the sustainable development process. The outcomes of the field survey also show that only 61% of occupants are generally satisfied with their environment of 77 buildings surveyed in this study, and the measurements of predicted mean vote (PMV) provide general satisfactory comfort conditions according to ISO 7730 and the occupants agree by indicating a satisfactory actual mean vote (AMV). Additionally, the results show environmental sustainability in the Lebanese coastal area is severely undermined by unplanned and unregulated physical development resulting in huge impact on the bio-physical environment.

Corporations have increasingly become more aware of the need to inculcate issues of ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainable development in their decision making. Unethical corporate and managerial behaviours and practices are posing serious obstacles in the move towards development and prosperity. The main objective of this paper is to assess the levels of awareness towards business ethics among Lebanese workers. Lebanese respondents displayed mixed responses to various scenarios of unethical behaviours. Such gaps lead to the conclusion that some decision makers may prefer bottom line indicators over issues of transparency, stakeholders' rights, human capital development and similar concerns. Strategies and intervention mechanisms should be implemented to improve the current situation and pave the way towards growth and sustainable development across Lebanon.

The study aims to examine the influence of financial development and economic growth on environmental degradation in Lebanon. Several theoretical and Empirical studies on the relationship between the financial development and economic growth on carbon emissions showed conflicting findings. This research focus on studying the impact of both the financial development and economic growth on environmental degradation in Lebanon. The findings indicate that financial development and economic growth both have significant and positive impact on the carbon dioxide emissions using some control variables like fossil energy consumption, trade openness and urbanization. Also, the results showed a significant impact for the control variables on carbon emissions. this suggests crucial implications for policy-makers. The study recommends that the policy makers in Lebanon should push the financial institutions to invest more in green and friendly environment projects which will lead to minimize the carbon dioxide emissions.Keywords: Financial Development, Economic Growth, Carbon Emission, Environmental degradationJEL Classifications: 016, 044, Q43 G00, Q50DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.9029

This research utilises the sustainable livelihood approach to evaluate the livelihood assets and resources and identify key challenges and development opportunities in a village in Southern Lebanon. Primary data using quantitative (structured questionnaire) and qualitative (semi-structured interview) methods were collected. The findings highlight the weak resource management and monitoring of various aspects. The factors influencing the village's livelihoods include constraints in water quantity and water quality monitoring, communication and micro-macro links, as well as the allocation of financial resources. The utilisation of the sustainable livelihood approach resulted in developing a practical action plan and a set of management strategies for the enhancement of the village's livelihood based on detailed local knowledge and community input. The significance of this research lies in defining and prioritising factors influencing rural livelihoods and typical relationships among them in real life situations. It focuses on quantitative and qualitative variables and provides evidence-based interventions.

The sustainable access to basic sanitation services is one of the targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2000. A monitoring and reporting program on progress made on access to improved sanitation services has been pursued by the global community using the universal indicator ’proportion of population using an improved sanitation facility’. However, monitoring and reporting progress using this indicator does not reflect the effective wastewater management and pollution control. This paper presents a methodological approach for quantitative assessment of the effective wastewater management based on non-additive aggregation methodology which accounts for the interactions among indicators. Firstly, a set of indicators are identified and calculation methods are presented. Secondly, the use of 2-order Choquet integral to aggregate indicators into an Effective Wastewater Management index (EWM) is proposed. At the practical level, results of evaluation of the EWM of the Wastewater Collection Systems in Lebanon are then presented and discussed. Finally, the conclusions and further developments are presented.

Abstract In the framework of the Covenant of Mayors for mitigation and Green House Gas emissions reduction toward a sustainable future, proposed tools used in the South-Mediterranean countries have not always been sufficient. To quantify the territory emissions (Baseline Emission Inventory BEI), local authorities had to rely on inaccurate data that generated inaccurate results. Furthermore, classical tools would not allow any authority wishing to join without any technical assistance from CES-MED to identify and determine the performance of each measure in order to elaborate a feasible Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP). A new tool is necessary to fill the gaps and lead to a more developed approach, more generalized and adapted to the regional context. The first part developed of this tool can assess the basic situation of a municipality in terms of calculating emissions. A second part of this tool is to identify priority energy efficiency measures, determine the performance of each measure and the related investment costs, in order to develop the SECAP for any authority in Lebanon and in the region. This operational, reliable and effective tool called SECAP-SSP includes a specific database for Lebanon and the region to help municipalities calculate baseline emissions and assess the impacts of different SEAP measures. The new tool takes into account most of sectors contributing to the environmental impacts, to study their environmental performance, to succeed by modelling the determination of Optimum Energy Performance / Environmental Benefit / Costs of energy efficiency measures in the various sectors of the municipality. Depending on the magnitude of the contribution of each sector, the municipality will have the choice to decide on the measures to be implemented. A methodology for the elaboration of the “Budget Allocation Chart” is proposed. This paper presents the results of application of this tool for the development of the SECAP’s of municipalities in Lebanon.

Doubts exist about the ability of ecotourism to make tangible contributions to sustainable development. Despite the doubts ambiguity, ecotourism is closely related to sustainability. This paper aims to study the contribution of ecotourism to sustainable development in Lebanon from a market perspective. In order to assess the level of understanding of the ecotourism concept by the Lebanese nature-based tour operators and their contribution to sustainable development, field data related to their profile and practices was collected using a survey administered to 50 operators. The main findings showed that their compliance with the international ecotourism principles and guidelines is weak and that they have a low level of specialization. However, despite this fact, ecotourism is trending in Lebanon and is providing rural areas with some economic benefits and opportunities without having a comprehensive contribution to ecological conservation and cultural preservation. Two decades after its emergence in Lebanon, ecotourism remains an unorganized sector.

Although Lebanon has the highest mean annual rainfall of all Middle Eastern countries, it is affected by water stress, negatively impacting agricultural food production, energy generation, and undermine ecosystem functions. The Bekaa area, where the upper Litani River Basin (LRB) is located, suffers serious water quality and quantity problems, which threaten agricultural productivity and public health. Most of the domestic and industrial water in the basin is left untreated. This study investigates prevailing water management issues in the basin. The analysis provides a critical reflection on the water quality and quantity indicators using Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), to ‘ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all’. Results based on the author’s observations and evidence from published reports and papers, since the early nineties, showed the existing management approaches fall short to mitigate the negative impact of the environmental problems in the LRB, particularly low water quality (indicator 6.3) and inefficient water use (indicator 6.4). Progress on achieving integrated water management (indicator 6.5) in the LRB is limited. Persistent environmental challenges remain due to weak governance, insufficient capacity, and law enforcement, which must be targeted by a public-private partnership.

The Lebanese Electric Power System (LEPS) suffers from technical and financial deficiencies that required the development of a policy paper to rescue it from its drastic situation to a new sustainable, reliable, and efficient delivery of electricity. An energy policy that includes ten strategic initiatives and 42 action steps that are integrated and correlated to cover the sector's infrastructure, supply/demand, and the legal aspects was proposed and approved by the Government of Lebanon. This paper describes the current technical and financial situation of the LEPS and the need for an energy policy. The stochastic Load Modification Technique (LMT) is then used to assess the impact of implementing the projects proposed in the energy policy on energy production, overall cost, technical and commercial losses, reliability and customer service. The proposed technique is used to establish a technical and financial baseline of the LEPS against which the full implementation of the energy policy is compared and the resulting tariff is calculated.

When populations are displaced, say after a hurricane or a man-made crisis, water and wastewater utilities can face a real challenge in providing services to those displaced. The challenge is especially difficult when the local infrastructure was already strained in trying to meet the host community’s pre-displacement demand. What most communities need are resilient water and wastewater infrastructure systems, and what we develop in this paper is an integrated approach that can achieve such systems. Our approach takes into account the operating environment of bridging what some call the humanitarian-development (HD) nexus. The HD nexus is the phase in which a community transitions toward a response paradigm that combines humanitarian response with long-term services. The HD nexus poses inherent contextual challenges, and we identify them, through interviews with municipalities in Lebanon, in their physical, social, financial, and institutional dimensions. Furthermore, we explore interactions that can inform how best to address these challenges. Our results introduce policy areas (i.e., utility pricing and establishing shared development priorities) that support this transition across the HD nexus and achieve resilient systems. Our discussions give rise to an empirical understanding of the infrastructures’ operating environments and thus contribute to global conversations on sustainable development.

A number of aggregate indices have been developed to measure various aspects of sustainability using a set of identified sustainable development indicators. The difficulties encountered stem from the complementary and redundancy interactions that exist among sustainable development indicators. Typically, indicators used for the sustainability assessment are not independent of each other. This study presents a methodological approach for assessment of aggregate sustainability indices based on non-additive aggregation method which accounts for synergies and interactions among indicators. A simplified 2-order Choquet integral is proposed to aggregate indicators sustainability scores into an overall sustainable rating. The proposed approach is then applied to the assessment of the sustainable withdrawals of water resources in Lebanon. Lastly, the conclusions and further development are presented.

This paper examines the water and sanitation procedures taken in refugee camps to provide inclusive services, preserve the environment, and design out waste, based on empirical data collected using a questionnaire distributed in Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon. Our study finds that refugees in Lebanon were the furthest left behind compared to refugees in Jordan and Iraq. Moreover, considering the culture of refugees, installing quality WASH services, and shifting from the traditional linear approach to the circular economy approach is an advantage in refugee camps that creates more resilience opportunities for refugees and their hosts. Without the concrete Partnership between governmental institutions, NGOs, and stakeholders, SDG6 and other related ones, including SDG3, SDG4 SDG5 and SDG8 will not be accomplished by 2030.

This commentary describes a multi-national project which addresses gaps in the design and delivery of health and education services in Arabic-speaking countries in relation to early language development, with a focus on Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories. This includes: (1) co-production with early years professionals and NGOs of approaches to support early language development; (2) development and standardisation of tools to identify monolingual and multilingual Arabic-speaking children at risk of poor language development; and (3) examination of language development in refugee communities.The importance of inter-professional partnership and the inclusion of families in planning support for oral language development is highlighted. Arabic versions of the Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) Toddler were developed, and data collected from 1074 Egyptian, Jordanian and Palestinian monolingual infants aged 8-30 months. Data from 201 age-matched Palestinian infants in Lebanese refugee camps highlight inequalities resulting from limited maternal educational opportunities. Data from 230 multilingual Lebanese 2-year-olds enable the interpretation of CDI scores as a function of language exposure.This work contributes to the promotion of robust language development for all Arabic-speaking children. This commentary focusses on sustainable development goal (SDG) 3, SDG 4, SDG 10 and SDG 17.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a movement that has become more and more important in the late 20th century. Its appearance in academic literature has a long history. It is considered at the heart of challenges relevant to sustainable society and sustainable development and it is studied in academia around the world. Despite the continually increasing public interest towards CSR, very little is known of the concept in developing countries. After providing a review of the literature, this research investigates and measures the awareness and implementation of CSR in Lebanon leading to the development of a sustainable society. The study sheds light on the means facilitating the promotion of CSR and the role of the government. The concepts developed from the findings of this research open the way for new researches in the field.

An increasing number of environmental regulators in developed and developing countries have embarked on programmes for the promotion of environmentally sound and sustainable development strategies. Air pollution is among the most important environmental issues that need to be managed since it reflects directly and indirectly on the different aspects of human life. This paper presents an assessment of the evolution of air pollution control philosophies at the global level, and it describes advantages and disadvantages of alternate environmental strategies that can be considered in the development of an integrated and comprehensive plan for air quality management at the local level, with Lebanon as a case study of a typical developing country. The proposed strategy considers short-, medium- and long-term schemes that make use of regulatory and market-based instruments, such as pollution charges, and market creation and usage. The short-term scheme identifies serious polluters and improves environmental performance by adopting and enforcing updated environmental standards. Economic incentive concepts constitute the principal philosophy for medium-term application of a comprehensive environmental strategy, mostly applicable at the level of the transportation and energy sectors. Long-term strategies, targeting the industrial sector, aim at achieving a flexible free market in which polluters would compete on the basis of market forces and governmental incentives to attain better environmental performance and increase potential cost savings.

Abstract Faced with provocation emerged from sustainable development, several states, and in specific organizations and other related social performers, are asking their tasks and desire to take dynamic perspective to social accountability. In doing this, they are faced with sustainable development challenges. Entrepreneurship constitutes the business efforts of an individual or group for earning profit and ensuring economic empowerment, while social entrepreneurship involves the business activities with an embedded social purpose focused on sustainability rather than immediate outcomes. Entrepreneurship is an important factor of economy. The development of social entrepreneurship needs a structural adjustment in the society. The principal paper aim is to investigate the social entrepreneurship role in improving sustainable development. Also, the paper will examine social entrepreneurship as an effective tool in resolving social problems, noting that social entrepreneurship analysis can provide a response to sustainable development challenges. The research focuses on addressing the current state of social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship indicators, pillars of entrepreneurship development, business environment and entrepreneurial opportunity and signifying the practicality of dissimilar business models developed in social entrepreneurship. Surveys were conducted on fifty different organizations (banks and audit companies) to collect data. Also, SPSS system was used to analyze the data gathered, to study the relationship between sustainable development and social entrepreneurship. Evidence suggests that social entrepreneurship can play a significant role for poverty reduction, ensuring employment, economic prosperity, environmental justice, pollution free ecology, good governance, reduction of terrorism, guarantee of peace, corruption control etc., thus offering opportunities to fulfill sustainable development goals in Lebanon. We can conclude that social business models develop a basic spread that grant social entrepreneurs to participate actively to sustainable development.

Achieving mutualistic symbiosis is the core concept of China’s promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Therefore, how to guide China’s OFDI location decision-making in the Belt and Road (B&R) countries from the perspective of mutualistic symbiosis is of great significance. This paper constructs the B&R symbiotic system based on symbiotic system theory, to establish the investment suitability index from three dimensions: stability, coordination, and sustainability, then uses the entropy weight, TOPSIS, and GIS method to assess and analyze the investment suitability index of 60 major countries in B&R’s six economic corridors. The findings indicate that Russia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia have the highest investment suitability and are China’s most favorable OFDI destinations for achieving mutualistic symbiosis. Conversely, Syria, Lebanon, Jordon, and Yemen have the lowest investment suitability. Based on these results, policymakers can formulate more scientific and reasonable policies to guide China’s OFDI to make location decisions in B&R countries with high investment suitability, so as to promote the high-quality and sustainable development of B&R construction. However, due to data acquisition and technical reasons, this study does not analyze investment suitability from time trends. The analysis of investment suitability from more B&R countries or different types of industries is an important direction for further research in the future.

The paper, “Towards Corporate Social Responsibility: The Pulp and Paper Industry in Lebanon,” by Toufic Mezher, Mutasem El-Fadel, Wajih Farkouf, from the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, focuses on the pulp and paper industry of Lebanon. This industry happens to be one of the most resource-intensive industries. The process of making pulp and paper is explained with corresponding environmental loads along the entire supply chain. The paper discusses the concept of corporate sustainability and cleaner production (CP)11 in the context of the global industry. The paper also presents several environmental management strategies and best practices involving all the stakeholders to render this industry more sustainable – building a sustainable enterprise, human resource development, foreign direct investment, international standard certification, etc. An elaborate action plan for rendering the pulp and paper industry more sustainable has been drawn out. Some of the aspects suggested in the action plan include encouraging paper recycling, regulating water consumption, building a technology triangle, etc. Since the CP technology is a powerful and potentially effective tool suited to the needs of Lebanon and also other developing countries, special mention has been made of this aspect in the conclusion.

<title>Abstract</title> This chapter highlights how public and private sector stakeholders are struggling to develop strategic planning for sustainable tourism in Lebanon. There is consideration of how domestic rural and nature tourism can be used as new niche tourism products, to help to develop sustainable tourism. The chapter also emphasizes that successive planning initiatives are hampered by the challenge of the insecurity in Lebanon, not least from the hosting of political refugees from neighbouring states.

In the midst of compounded crises—specifically, the energy, economic and financial crisis, followed by COVID-19 and, lastly, the explosion at the Port of Beirut, the Lebanese are facing increasing black-out periods and unaffordable generator bills, which have favored an increased interest in alternatives and more sustainable energy sources. The Lebanese legal and political landscape at the government level is complex. Hence, local authorities have a valuable role in making decisions, in assessing their situation as well as improving it via different tools and approaches towards local sustainable development.

The choices made in infrastructure development today will determine the competitiveness, quality of life, and sustainability of countries for decades to come. Unfortunately, for the case of Lebanon, there are no plans for national-level infrastructural development that could be considered as a future goal to advance the country’s ability to compete regionally and ensure an improved standard and quality of living, without depriving future generations of their due share of natural resources and ecological space. This paper focuses on developing a strategic roadmap that is robust yet flexible enough to integrate and implement green building regulations in both new and existing buildings within the Lebanese regulatory framework.

This paper explores the impact of the living heritage approach for sustainable tourism & economics in Mount Lebanon. The proposed living heritage model is separated into three fundamental actions: firstly, the identification of important historical places and buildings that are reused to serve conservation and tourism development, as well as the participation of the core community in determining this. Secondly, the development of a tourism strategy and development plans, in which the local community must also participate. Thirdly, the development of maintenance and control programs, which must be supervised by the local community through its partnership with the Ministry and those responsible for conservation operations. Moreover, the hypothesis is to find a way to implement the living heritage in a local rural context. It also tackles different ways of implementing the living heritage approach based on international case studies (Albergo Diffuso, in Italy and the Meteora, in Greece), to inform sustainable economic and tourism development in the local rural context of Mount Lebanon. The methodological study will take into consideration two analyses: a theoretical (literature reviews and main definitions) and a practical (comparative analysis and case studies). In conclusion, several strategies can be taken into account in order to attain a successful living heritage of sustainable economics and tourism in Mount Lebanon. In fact, such a goal will be achieved through the partnership among private, public, and local sectors that can create a strong historical-touristic-economic bond.

In an aligned bundle of literature, what determines the success of entrepreneurship activities draws the attention of scholars, professionals, and authorities. Few scholarly articles were published on the critical success factors of entrepreneurs in Sustainable Development projects. This research paper explores the key success factors of entrepreneurs in Sustainable Development projects in Lebanon. Based on data of 183 entrepreneurs from Lebanon, the results of SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) showed that two main factors must be considered by entrepreneurs in Sustainable Development projects, namely, business factors and individual characteristics. The results also do not show any significant impact of environmental factors on the success of entrepreneurship in Sustainable Development projects. On the other hand, this research shows that the individual factors have higher impact than that of business factors on entrepreneurship success in Sustainable Development projects.

Sustainable development has been a topic of global interest for the past few decades. In 2015, the United Nations launched 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in order to improve the quality of life of this generation and future generations. Particularly, SDG 15 titled “Life on Land” calls on member states to preserve biodiversity and protect the environment. Developed countries are finding it easier to achieve this goal, while developing countries are mostly prioritizing other challenges. Lebanon, a developing country that is politically and religiously divided, has been grappling with many internal and external conflicts resulting from its 15-year civil war that ended back in 1990. To answer the key question of the extent to which Lebanon was able to effectively pursue sustainable development, specifically SDG15, this thesis examines the work of the two entities responsible for the attainment of SDG15 which are the Ministry of Environment and local environmental groups in Lebanon. The Ministry of Environment and environmental groups have been working on protecting biodiversity and providing reforestation techniques to farmers in the country which is in line with sustainable development. However, they have both fallen behind in critical areas such as stopping land excavation (for querying stones) and building dams without due consideration to their effectiveness and environmental consequences. The thesis contends that the close relationship between the political and business elites and insufficient governmental accountability were behind these failures. Despite these structural obstacles, the Ministry of the Environment and environmental groups have been able to make some progress towards meeting SDG 15.

Preservation of architectural heritage is a top priority for every long-term development strategy. The idea is to create a healthier world by lowering environmental effects on architectural heritage by means of inventive, rapid and cost-effective options to eco-renovating heritage buildings. Conservation practices and initiatives must adhere to the historic current fabric, including its applications, connections, and values. These approaches must be focused on an enhancement strategy to reduce negative effects of environment on historical buildings. Lebanon is facing a slew of environmental issues as a result of poor environmental management, especially in the historic constructed environment. Because of this, the study will review the relationship between architecture and environment, discussing sustainable architecture, green buildings and its characteristics, and sustainability and architectural heritage conservation. Moreover, the study also explores architectural heritage and high-performance buildings, clarifying the impact of environment on architectural heritage, high performance buildings and their design objectives and characteristics. The study focuses mainly on quality techniques and high performance buildings, presenting quality in architecture aspects and Six Sigma as a quality improvement technique for enhancing performance of existing buildings. In this sense, we will shed some light on various attempts of green buildings and reduction of environmental impact on architectural heritage in Lebanon. The study proposes a new methodology as a performance improvement approach for converting the historical building into a high-performance one. The paper also emphasizes the role of sustainable development implementations to conserve the architectural heritage, while optimizing performance characteristics of historical buildings, using Six Sigma technique as enhancement strategy to achieve high-performance for historic buildings in Lebanon.

Lebanon’s forest landscapes are unique in the Mediterranean region and, over the centuries, have provided multiple socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental benefits. However, societal changes have had a significant impact on these landscapes, putting them at risk of further degradation. Lifestyle changes and restrictions on access to forests and woodlands have contributed to the abandonment of traditional community use, management, and protection of forests. This neglect has left forests vulnerable to arson, vandalism, and natural disasters. This Lebanon Forest Note articulates opportunities for supporting the protection and sustainable management of Lebanon's forest landscapes. It considers the increasing pressure on natural resources due to anthropogenic activities/stresses, as well as their increased vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters, especially forest fires. The note presents a forward-looking business case for Lebanon to protects its forest ecosystem services, while increasing the socioeconomic benefits for Lebanon's sustainable development goals and global environmental commitments.

European projects from a wide list of subjects are sharing and promoting good practice in knowledge development but there appears to be opportunities to exploit the findings of these projects more effectively, especially relating to sustainability issues, in the implementation and development of robust curricula within higher education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.A detailed description will be given of an example of a partnership between several universities from Sweden, France, Romania, and Lebanon related to a high-profile industry area: oil and gas. This partnership was created within a European Project carried out during the 2015–2018 period. The importance of this project is focused on how energy issues play an important role in the global development of industrial and underdeveloped countries. Energy issues are commonly accompanied with the challenging trade-off of energy production and environmental sustainability. The research project evaluates the creation and delivery of a new curriculum at the Lebanese universities based upon the joint effort and support of the European partners of the Project Consortium.The overall aim of the project was to promote academic excellence through an academic network and by joint research, education, and exchange of experience, but also knowledge that has led to the high-quality curriculum. It is expected that this will contribute in the sustainable development of the Lebanese higher educational system. The project is in perfect alignment with the EU Commission’s action aiming to deepen the knowledge of extraction technologies and practices of unconventional gas and oil while minimizing potential health and environmental risks. The project succeeded in the delivery and the transfer of specific knowledge, through a more effective curriculum, for future educators and offers students a high-quality educational experience preparing them for the oil and gas industry.

Solid waste is a global, regional and national problem. Lebanon is not isolated and far away from this problem. Lebanese state since the beginning did not work to find a scientific effective permanent lasting solution to this problem. Every day all media broadcast about solid waste problems, especially in the region of Sidon and Tyre caza. The file of solid waste management (collecting-transporting-disposal) is exhausting municipalities’ financial resources instead of investing these funds in implementing rural development programs, which TYRE caza fiercely needs. Development represents the most challenging aspect for all countries of the world, whether they are developed or developing countries. In addition, development in its concept and application, whether it was sustainable development, local, rural, urban, became the focal attention of states governments alike, whether those countries are developed or developing countries. For that purpose, those countries have established ministries and research centers to take care of development and even to add university degree related to development.Lebanon has not follow this track, neither in the formulation of designed ministry for development nor in the adding of university specialized degree, also the academic literature, who deals in the subject of development. “Limited number of institutions involved in rural development such as , the establishment of kafalat cooperation, a new investment law that establish the autonomous investment development authority of Lebanon (IDAL), the provision of subsidized credit through a central bank facility, signing trade agreements to expand and liberalize trade with Lebanon’s partners” E/ESCWA/2007/WG.5 26OCTOBER 2007.The research will focus on the concepts of rural development, rural area, analyze the impact of expenditure on solid waste on rural development in TYRE caza.

Regulating access to common resources and organizing their exploitation is, usually, the responsibility of local authorities and the object of local governance. However, in ski resorts, participating to the private sector in territorial management could have a better impact on resource preservation due to the seasonality of ski dynamism and its impact on network efficacy. This article aims to study the concept of local network governance and to examine its influence on sustainable development. The effectiveness of this governance is illustrated by the case of Mzaar ski-resort in Lebanon.

Youth are already having an impact on community change. Youth-led non-profit organizations (YLO) empower young citizens to design and implement effective, innovative, and sustainable development initiatives. In this illustrative case study, we highlight the ability of Lebanese youth-led organizations to engage in service innovation and promote the advancement of sustainable development objectives for their society. We present examples of social innovation and sustainable development ecosystems. Finally, we frame our approach with a service-dominant logic as an interpretative framework and provide illustrative cases to draw on our learnings and articulate the role of YLOs in defining the agenda for sustainable development in inclusive service innovation.

In light of the acceleration towards adopting the principles of sustainability as a result of climate change and the importance of preserving the environment, a group of companies emerged that tried to exploit these conditions in a bad way, which prompted them to colorize their business under the pretext of showing themselves as a sustainable company. For this reason, this study sought to evaluate one of the most prominent companies in Lebanon called “BIOMASS” which is concerned with organic products, using the typology of Dyllick & Muff that categorized the business into three levels of sustainability. The study adopted the qualitative approach in order to frame the extraction of information from the company, in addition to some desk research. In the conclusion of the research, it was found that the company bears the characteristics of sustainability in a right and striking manner.

The coastal area is a place of paramount importance for all the people and it needs to be provided with the necessary protection. Here we encounter the notion of 'sustainable development,' which is crucial to the social and economic progress of a given society. This paper aims to demonstrate and analyze the problems that afflict the sea and the coastal area, to research the possible solutions to those problems, and to explain the development process and the implementation of the sustainable development strategy. It is important to understand the issues in regards to sustainable management of the coastal area and the significance of using renewable resources. As an example of good practice, this paper will discuss the city of Sarafand and the CAMP Lebanon project, in order to examine the issues involved in preserving the coastal area and the ways to ensure the effective usage of renewable resources.

A number of aggregate indices have been developed to measure various aspects of sustainability using a set of identified sustainable development indicators. The difficulties encountered stem from the complementary and redundancy interactions that exist among sustainable development indicators. Typically, indicators used for the sustainability assessment are not independent of each other. This study presents a methodological approach for assessment of aggregate sustainability indices based on non-additive aggregation method which accounts for synergies and interactions among indicators. A simplified 2-order Choquet integral is proposed to aggregate indicators sustainability scores into an overall sustainable rating. The proposed approach is then applied to the assessment of the sustainable withdrawals of water resources in Lebanon. Lastly, the conclusions and further development are presented.

In the Agenda21 (1992) and the Aichi declaration (2012), local scale has been assessed as the most relevant to adapt to contexts specificities such as demography and culture, socio-economics and environmental conditions in the search of sustainability. Still, the Agenda21 set a global environmental action plan providing guidelines to be followed by countries. Since then, many countries have developed tools such as environmental assessments and participatory approaches with stakeholders so as to take into account natural resources and constraints and to integrate them with economic and social development perspectives ; such approaches are said be all the more easy to implement at local level when decentralisation is institutionalised ; a study was carried on in three Mediterranean countries (Algeria, Lebanon and Morroco) and shows how environment is taken into account at local level and that the articulation with regional planning is often still challenging.

Cities are tackling their economic, social, and environmental challenges through smart city solutions. To demonstrate that these solutions achieve the desired impact, an indicator-based assessment system is needed. This chapter presents the process of developing CITYkeys performance measurement systems for target setting and monitoring. This European smart city indicator framework was developed by analyzing cities' needs, existing indicators, and gaps. The current research sets out to review several indicators, KPI, and performance measurements, along other indicator frameworks on the case studies involving the conceptualisation, development, and monitoring of smart cities in Lebanon and in Malta for comparative purposes. For this purpose, a mixed methods approach was adopted, whereby both interviews and structured surveys were used to collect primary data pertaining to the analyses of the respectively investigated smart cities.

Lebanon introduced in 2012 GRASS (Green Recovery and Sustainable Solutions) a building rating system that suites Lebanon's and Southern Mediterranean countries climate, style of living, and available resources. As other Green Building Rating Systems, practical guidelines and tools are necessary to facilitate the implementation of GRASS. This paper intends to introduce the development of smart and practical GRASS guidelines and a user-friendly web page GRASS tool, based on criteria's assessment and calculations. These guidelines and tools include the development of two Reference Guides and two Guidelines, for Residential Buildings and Non-Residential Buildings; their purpose is to establish a guidance document when submitting for the GRASS Rating System. Throughout this paper, Certification process, GRASS assessment criteria, maximum achievable scoring, GRASS Award Rating, GRASS Framework, and Credit Allocation are illustrated, as well as the GRASS tool calculation process.

The relationship between agriculture and its natural environment is an important starting point for defining drought from an agricultural perspective. Indeed, farmers may perceive drought, as a climatic risk, differently. This could depend on the physical environment of the farmer, the type and degree of involvement in his agricultural activities as well as the level of impact on his financial well-being (Ashraf and Routray, 2013). In Lebanon and particularly in the Beqaa plain, the majority of agricultural areas are strongly related to groundwater resources during the summer period. Due to the lack of sustainable local development, these resources would be threatened in the case of a probable climate change or a human factor allowing a possible evolution of water stress in the region. Questioning the origin of this phenomenon and its definition from the farmer's point of view can help us to better understand this problem. The objective of this study is therefore to identify the drought by crossing the human and physical elements in the perimeter of the study area.

This study examines the morphology and evolution of urban and road networks and their relationship with topography in the Lebanon-Nabatiyeh area, by using GIS and remote sensing data. and calculate the annual urban growth percentage rate. The results reveal a clear relationship between the morphology of urban and road networks and their evolution over four periods, as well as the influence of the surrounding topography on their configuration. The study recommends that urban areas should be developed in areas with a slope range of 15º or more to improve the urban structure and infrastructure surrounding them. Understanding the evolution and morphology of urban and road networks is essential for urban planners and policymakers to design efficient and sustainable urban development. Future research should use the method employed in this study and supplement it with the creation of a land suitability map using GIS and remote sensing technology to improve current urban planning protocols. The study provides helpful insights for urban developers, planners, and designers in creating successful approaches to urban development and management.

Cultural assets are vital aspects for any urban development process. Their importance increases considerably in historical areas, where the richness of cultural heritage has the ability to motivate cultural tourism. This paper emphasizes the sustainable development of urban historical areas based on their potential as cultural tourism sites. It argues that to guarantee the sustainability of any development intervention in these areas, a master planning process must be undertaken to balance all of the aspects of development. It tackles the interconnectedness of these aspects as an approach to their simultaneous development. As a focus of study, this paper raises a question about the ability of a 'heritage trail' an area of direct interactions between parties sharing in urban development in historic areas¬to achieve the sustainability goals of the involved areas. To answer this question, the paper investigates three nodes of interaction stimulated by the heritage trail: conservation and rehabilitation, interpretation, and micro-economic development. To illustrate the validity of the proposed approach, this paper discusses the heritage trail as an approach used in the Cultural Heritage and Urban Development (CHUD) project in the historical core of Saida (Old Saida), Lebanon as a case study.

Despite the drifts towards globalization, regions and cities are emerging as the main arenas for international competitiveness. Cities are turning out to be as communities of knowledge, innovation, and creativity, yet becoming more complex, dynamic, diverse, and intangible. In this context, new strategies and approaches must be considered. Proposing a science park bridges the gap between education, research and industries. It could develop a creative urban regeneration processes, educational development and economic growth. Initiating the project with a sustainable approach will increase knowledge and develop innovated solutions in common areas as water management, alternative forms of energy, oil and gas extraction, industrial advancement, and sustainable urban development. The paper is going to discuss the feasibility of applying a science park in Lebanon as a case study for Middle Eastern developing countries. Applying these strategies on slum areas will improve the urban fabric and enhance the infrastructure of the neighborhood. Ten International case studies that augmented their regions around the world are analyzed to achieve the most efficient science park program that fits the local context. Furthermore, the adopted strategy could be applied in any developing country with similar contexts.

The Mediterranean region is highly vulnerable to climate change, soil and water resource degradation, and biodiversity loss. These challenges disproportionately affect disadvantaged rural areas, impacting both natural resources and the livelihoods of local agricultural societies. Urgent transformative measures are essential to address land and water management as well as food security challenges in these disadvantaged areas. Living labs are being called upon to play a key role in addressing these challenges through the development of Nature-based Solutions (NbSs) that are able to provide environmental and socioeconomic benefits towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. The aim of this work is to provide insights on an open innovation ecosystem of Mediterranean Living Labs for the synergetic development and participatory assessment of decentralized wetland-aquaponics, as NbSs are able to address environmental and food security challenges in disadvantaged rural areas. The study addresses the knowledge gap of Living Labs contribution to the development of decentralized wetland-aquaponics and the limited research on small-scale aquaponics systems in rural Mediterranean settings, while revealing the role of public participation in ascertaining the solution and evaluating its feasibility and impacts in light of the local social values and interests in the mountainous area of Akkar al-Atika in Lebanon.

Regions that had acceptable levels of water resources are becoming arid due to global warming and human-caused damage. Yet, public policies in such regions remain unsuitable for local conditions. Although this is owed to broad economic, political, and engineering factors, this paper focuses on water project methodologies and local policy design toward sustainable development. Water surface flow formulas utilize simplified assumptions adequate for perennial rivers, but require upgrades to accommodate arid regions and seasonal river behavior. The paper proposes a framework that links engineering to public policy using field data collected in Mount Lebanon, where drought periods are increasing. A dependent variable is defined as an index about community benefits based on water projects. Four independent variables are defined as (X1) the extent to which local communities would contribute to the engineering management and maintenance of water facilities, (X2) the ability to use project output for power supply, (X3) the potential use for agricultural purposes, and (X4) local community amenability and support for the privatization of water civil works. Results showed a statistically significant and positive relationship with X1, X2, and X3 and negative correlation with X4. Public policies need to be designed to involve local communities.

Urbanization has led to the degradation of green areas and natural resources, which are critical for preserving biodiversity and natural benefits. Sustainable urban development (SUD) practices aim to balance urbanization with preserving and protecting green land and natural resources to achieve greater sustainability. This study evaluated land suitability for SUD in the Nabatiyeh area of Lebanon using a multi-criteria decision analysis technique, the analytical hierarchy process, combined with a geographic information system. The elevations and slopes were the most important criteria, followed by the distances from urban agglomeration and industrial areas, accessibility, and land cover types, with corresponding weights of 34% and 36%, 12%, 9%, 6%, and 3%, respectively. The study created a suitability map for future SUD. This identification assists urban planners and policymakers in making informed decisions regarding the development of urban areas. The study’s findings highlight the efficiency of combining multi-criteria decision analysis with geospatial techniques for urban planning and environmental management in promoting sustainable development and protecting the environment. Future research could explore the possibility of integrating administrative reforms to promote SUD, including improving governance, enhancing the efficiency of governmental agencies responsible for urban development, building scientific capacities, and increasing officials’ accountability.

An increasing number of environmental regulators in developed and developing countries have embarked on programmes for the promotion of environmentally sound and sustainable development strategies. Air pollution is among the most important environmental issues that need to be managed since it reflects directly and indirectly on the different aspects of human life. This paper presents an assessment of the evolution of air pollution control philosophies at the global level, and it describes advantages and disadvantages of alternate environmental strategies that can be considered in the development of an integrated and comprehensive plan for air quality management at the local level, with Lebanon as a case study of a typical developing country. The proposed strategy considers short-, medium- and long-term schemes that make use of regulatory and market-based instruments, such as pollution charges, and market creation and usage. The short-term scheme identifies serious polluters and improves environmental performance by adopting and enforcing updated environmental standards. Economic incentive concepts constitute the principal philosophy for medium-term application of a comprehensive environmental strategy, mostly applicable at the level of the transportation and energy sectors. Long-term strategies, targeting the industrial sector, aim at achieving a flexible free market in which polluters would compete on the basis of market forces and governmental incentives to attain better environmental performance and increase potential cost savings.

Numerous economic and non-economic factors significantly influence decision-making concerning investments in green energy. However, developing an index that allows for benchmarking and evaluating economic performance and overall sustainability on a global scale is imperative. In this regard, this study introduces the Green Energy Sustainable Investment Index (GESII) as a composite measure utilizing entropy weight and the “Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS)” approach. This index encompasses 47 countries and comprises 22 indicators categorized into four dimensions: social, economic, environmental, and institutional. Over the period spanning from 2006 to 2020, this study analyzes the progression of GESII for forty-seven countries affiliated with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Singapore secures the top position in the overall GESII ranking, followed by Estonia, Brunei Darussalam, the United Arab Emirates, and the Czech Republic. Conversely, Iran and Lebanon occupy the lowest positions in GESII, indicating that these countries have the poorest scores across all four dimensions. In addition to presenting the overall rankings, this study offers comparative analyses of the leading three country profiles for each region within the BRI countries based on GESII. The newly proposed index, GESII, is valuable for guiding investment decisions and contributing to policy discussions.

Amidst technological growth and its environmental implications, there’s a global push for sustainable development using ethical methods that benefit both the planet and humanity. This underscores a rising corporate trend towards sustainability. Adopting this approach requires fresh methods and technologies to influence behavior changes. Consequently, marketing, when aligned with sustainability principles, becomes a pivotal tool for businesses transitioning to sustainable practices. The food industry, like other sectors, is not exempt from these considerations. This article focuses on examining how food industries in Lebanon are incorporating sustainable development principles into their marketing strategies. By studying their approaches, we aim to identify the level of integration of sustainability within the marketing practices of these industries, identify gaps, and to bring the future scientific research directions in marketing management. Thus, this research is conducted following the post-positivist paradigm and following a hypothetical-deductive approach. Hence the qualitative research and expert evaluation used to collect data due to its applicability to the context of the study. The target respondents are managers of the agri-food industries in order to measure the good practices of sustainable development of these industries and their Marketing strategy based on the 4Ps. Lebanon’s distinct challenges, from environmental to economic, call for specialized solutions. Achieving sustainability involves grasping local nuances, engaging stakeholders, and connecting different sectors. Sustainable marketing emphasizes local products and community ties, offering potential for significant change. The study indicates agri-food businesses mainly focus on environmental and economic elements. Yet, the research faced hurdles, like the pandemic, highlighting the need for context-awareness.

Innovation and Innovation Management are essential instruments and methodologies to manage the changes that society and its productive sector are facing in order to find the right balance between competitiveness, trade demands, social equity and sustainable development. A clear role in this can be played by the local universities and by an international network of higher education institutions. The EU/Tempus UNCHAIN project proposal takes its origin from an initiative started in 2007 by the Rectors of three European Universities (Delft University of Technology, Graz University of Technology, and the Politecnico di Milano) aiming at establishing a “Global Network of University Chairs on Innovation”. The overall objective of the UNCHAIN project is to bridge the gap between the innovation needs of industry and the supply of universities, in terms of human resources and technologies, by establishing a “University Chair on Innovation”. At 6 universities in the east and south Mediterranean region (the MEDA region), SEKEM and Cairo University in Egypt, Hassan II in Morocco, Aleppo in Syria, S. Joseph in Lebanon and Sfax in Tunesia, specific problems and obstacles facing innovation and the universityindustry relation have been analysed. In each of the universities a Chair on Innovation has been established in 2009. This Chair, together with the international partners, is responsible for developing Technology Transfer Policy, initiating a re-skilling program on Innovation, development of an EU-MEDA Twinning MSc Thesis Program, and development of an EUMEDA Virtual Environment and Strategy for University-Industry Cooperation in Innovation. This paper describes the challenges and results of this project.

Governments across MENA region currently shares a common challenge in improving road safety performance on both national and local levels. The frequency of traffic crashes in these countries is increasing hastily and dramatically. Public health reports alongside with ‘WHO Global Status Report on Road Safety’ illustrated by ‘Time for Action’, all confirm that road crashes are the leading cause of deaths among youths, which demands urgent initiatives and solutions at both national and local levels. The increase in prosperity and the economic development didn’t actually lead to a real improvement in reducing the level of fatal crashes in these countries. Lost GDP, recessed socio-economic situation and the ongoing increase in fatalities, are all indicators that combine together to bring more attention to the road safety crisis facing the MENA region and Lebanon. When the majority of central governments in these countries are lacking effective means and ways to strengthen and improve road safety management, and when lead agencies involved in handling road safety initiatives at the national level are practically vague, this paper will discuss the ‘bottom-up’ approach of local empowerment for road safety. ‘LERS’ (Local Empowerment for Road Safety) prototype is a vigorous solution which may help local authorities in MENA region to overcome challenges of road safety at all levels. Empowering communities to better approach road safety will lead to positive effects nationwide and lead to advancement towards Sustainable Development Goals SDGs. Local governments can play the role of ‘lead agencies’ in managing and monitoring road safety programs RSP(s), and communities will be interacting effectively towards participating in the decision an implementation of road safety interventions at the educational, engineering, and emergency levels.

Nowadays natural resources are being used in an over exploration way, which implies vast environmental problems such as decrease of biodiversity, green-house effect, pollution. Therefore today it is important to look at the management of the natural resources in order to avoid such great over exploration. School environmental education plays an important role in the learning and awareness of children and young people for environmental issues. In this work we analysed the topic “Use of Resources” in the textbooks from thirteen countries from Europe (West to East: Portugal, France, Italy, Malta, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland), from Africa (Senegal, Morocco) and from the Middle East (Lebanon), since the first grade till the end of the secondary school. We used a grid constructed in the context of a European Project “Biohead Citizen” (“Biology Health and Environmental education for better citizenship” STREP, CIT2-CT2004-506015, Carvalho et al. 2004). The results showed that the analysed textbooks give little importance to environmental sustainability as there is a general absence about the role of the society intervention in the management as well as of political sustainability. Although behaviour change towards the environment is scarce, there is some more emphasis given to individual change rather than to social change. This textbook weakness may impair young citizens getting aware of the needs for a sustainable development. Acknowledgements This work had the financial support of the European project FP6 Biohead-Citizen CIT2CT-2004-506015. We thank all the teams that have participated in this work.

Sustainable construction development is a recent term that is required to create an eco-friendly built environment using renewable and recyclable resources and to reduce energy consumption and waste within protecting the natural environment. This term means such an improvement that pleases the current requirements without limitation of the prospect of sustaining requirements in future. Many problems face builders while executing projects, especially these projects were decided to be built over difficult topographies, such as rivers, falls, inclinations, caves, ridges, cliffs, and mountains. Construction challenges to build a project over a difficult topography are diverse starting by executing piles, retaining walls, conserving stability, and choosing the proper sustainable materials that can withstand the natural environmental factors. This paper sheds the light on the potential of any site's certain criteria; mostly its topography and slope on the provision of sustainable and ecological buildings. It seeks to recognize the sustainable and ecological variables of site topography, consuming a set of characteristics for each building type. The main aim of this research is to propose guidelines of sustainable construction methods that can be used to enable builders to build over difficult topographies, particularly on mountains. The research therefore depended on a scientific methodology through analyzing a sort of literature sources to structure a theoretical base, and then certain parameters were concluded. These parameters were used to analyze a concentrated case study on a site attaching (Beaufort Castle-Chkif), located in Arnoun South of Lebanon. Data of this field-work was conducted by site-visits, capturing photos, interviews, and questionnaire. This site is envisioned to be tested for building projects over sloped contour lines of Chkif Mountain. The paper provides an application for the development of the guidelines for passive and sustainable capability on favorite orientations on the buildings in difficult sloped areas with respect to the climatic local data, Application of the idea of the sustainable and ecological development in the building construction will be an origin of engineering and scientific inspiration for many coming years. One of the conclusion points is the preferable typology of projects to be built over mountains is touristic and entertainment activity to attract people. The sloped contour lines may be employed to be a potential not threat.

As of 2021, more than half of the global population resides in urban areas. This resulted in an overwhelming footprint affecting species habitat areas leading to biodiversity loss. By definition, urban biodiversity is the diversity of living things within the urban realm. By providing chances for habitat as part of new developments, preserving on-site habitats, and attempting to connect with the local ecosystems, we can help promote biodiversity. Green infrastructure (GI), which includes all semi-natural areas in the urban context, can serve as a vessel for biodiversity. Therefore, the problem can be defined by the urban footprint that expands on the expense of native habitats, leading directly to biodiversity loss and impacts on human health, and indirectly affecting livelihoods. Moreover, often times the approaches are sometimes limited to ‘green’ in more aesthetic ways than operational. It is also important to seek socio-ecological frameworks to promote adequate interaction of urban communities with wildlife. Therefore, this research aims to simulate design parameters for wildlife-inclusive green infrastructure to contribute to the creation of built environments that support urban biodiversity. If equipped with a socio-ecological framework, beyond ‘green’ results can be yielded. Using a case study method, the author will provide an application of the extracted parameters from the literature on a chosen geography with reference of ecological data provided of the ‘Shouf Biosphere Reserve’ of Lebanon to provide supported insight into wildlife-inclusive green infrastructure examples. In the context of this literature, we need to examine the manifestation of those concepts mainly on an operative level with respect to ecology. Also, it is required to examine the socio-cultural aspects of this interaction through architecture. In conclusion, as presented in the case study of SBR, the additional ecological and socio-cultural layers in planning of green infrastructure, can yield beyond ‘green’ results as a whole system designed with both the local ecosystems and urban inhabitants in mind within the landscape. Each geography will display its endemic version of ‘green’ as well. Variations of wildlife species can become parameters that also help shape our built environments. ‘Our’ built environment exists in the larger scope of the natural setting. Nature-based solutions can be implemented for our urban problems. A geographically specific GI network can provide alternative infrastructure for local ecosystems. Therefore, with increasing repercussions of urban expansion on habitat areas, immediate action plans must be formulated to stop species loss.

The study sought to research the reality of accounting for sustainable development in the Iraqi banking sector. Work was done by preparing a questionnaire containing three axes to measure that reality.
