Produktbeschreibung

Sustainability Matters is a compilation of some of the best research papers by students from the National University of Singapore's inter-disciplinary graduate programme in environmental studies, the MSc in Environmental Management [MEM]. This collection is for the period 2009/10 to 2011/12. As this period has been particularly prolific, its papers been split into two volumes; this volume, Sustainability Matters: Asia's Green Challenges is the third compilation by the programme, and comprises sixteen of the best research papers completed during this period. The papers have been edited for brevity. These papers analyze the many challenges to effective environmental management in the context of different places in Asia including cities in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong and Singapore, and propose insightful solutions. They cover a wide range of issues including vehicular air pollution, waste management (municipal solid waste, food waste, recycling, etc.), urban studies (such as high-density living, skywalk systems, parks, bus systems), and green business (including solar power and the shipping industry). The first compilation, Sustainability Matters: Environmental Management in Asia, was published in 2010 (World Scientific) and comprised the best papers from 2001/2 2006/7. The second, Sustainability Matters: Challenges and Opportunities in Environmental Management in Asia was published in 2011 (Pearson), and comprised the best papers from 2007/8 to 2008/09.
