Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The seventeen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out a blueprint for addressing global challenges facing humanity, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. This is a bold envisioning, but envisioning requires on-the-ground fulfilment. Developing countries face many structural constraints in achieving the SDGs, and working practical ways around these roadblocks is critical to the goal of sustainable development. This volume looks at case studies from across India that show both victories and perils of work undertaken to achieve the SDGs. The books editors and most of its chapter authors are geographers, but the cases here are interdisciplinary. The books remit is broad and features cases on topics as diverse as gender equality, human health, urban development, and explicit policymaking. Though the problems and solutions described here all take place in the context of India, the lessons here are certainly transferable to other countries and contexts. The seventeen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out a blueprint for addressing global challenges facing humanity, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice.

Therefore, water scarcity results from a combination of natural and social factors. The presence of water scarcity has troubled us for too long. Despite the efforts of the concerned authorities, everywhere, everybody is facing a shortage of water. How to measure it What is the magnitude of it Where does the solution lie This work is a humble attempt to answer these and other important questions concerning water scarcity. 188 pp. Englisch.…
