Milieueconomie houdt zich bezig met de vervuilingsproblematiek of, meer algemeen, met voor het milieu hinderlijke activiteiten in de economie. Dit kan gaan om roken in publieke plaatsen of het lawaai van een motorfiets, maar ook om meer globale vraagstukken zoals de vervuiling van de zee of de opwarming van de atmosfeer. De nieuwe editie van dit handboek richt zich tot een publiek met een tweevoudige interesse: aan de ene kant het meewerken aan de beleidsvorming rond milieuproblemen en aan de andere kant het managementaspect, waarbij wordt nagegaan hoe bedrijven het best omgaan met het opgelegde milieubeleid. Het biedt meer oefeningen en brengt nieuwe topics aan bod zoals duurzame ontwikkeling en circulaire economie. De auteurs werken in 'Inleiding tot de milieueconomie' met drie eenvoudige economische modellen: het vraag-en-aanbod model met perfecte concurrentie, het model voor de keuze van de milieukwaliteit en het discounted cashflow. De modellen en de meest gebruikte milieubeleidsinstrumenten, in deze editie uitgebreid met o.a. onzekerheid en marktmacht, worden geïllustreerd met behulp van concrete toepassingen op, onder meer, het klimaatbeleid, het herbebossingsbeleid en de afvalwaterproblematiek.

Dit boek geeft op een beknopte en gestructureerde wijze een overzicht van het milieurecht. In een eerste deel wordt het milieurecht kort in zijn beleidsmatige context gesitueerd, waarbij o.m. aandacht uitgaat naar de instrumenten van het milieu beleid. Vervolgens wordt het milieurecht op internationaal en Europees niveau behandeld. Het volgende en meest uitgebreide deel gaat in op het Vlaamse niveau. Er wordt stilgestaan bij de organisatie van het milieubeleid, de rechtsbronnen, de rechts bescherming, alsook de besluitvorming in het milieubeleid. Nadien wordt een overzicht geboden van het materieel milieurecht in het Vlaamse Gewest. Topics als de milieuvergunning, MER, water, afval, bodem, natuurbehoud, aansprakelijkheid en handhaving komen daarbij uitgebreid aan bod.

"The emergence of modern sciences in the seventeenth century profoundly renewed our understanding of Nature. For the last three centuries new ideas of Nature have been continuously developed by theology, politics, economics, and science, especially the sciences of the material world. The situation is even more unstable today, now that we have entered an ecological mutation of unprecedented scale. Some call it the Anthropocene, but it is best described as a new climatic regime. And a new regime it certainly is, since the many unexpected connections between human activity and the natural world oblige every one of us to reopen the earlier notions of Nature and redistribute what had been packed inside. So the question now arises: what will replace the old ways of looking at Nature? This book explores a potential candidate proposed by James Lovelock when he chose the name "Gaia" for the fragile, complex system through which living phenomena modify the Earth. The fact that he was immediately misunderstood proves simply that his readers have tried to fit this new notion into an older frame, transforming Gaia into a single organism, a kind of giant thermostat, some sort of New Age goddess, or even divine Providence. In this series of lectures on "natural religion", Bruno Latour argues that the complex and ambiguous figure of Gaia offers, on the contrary, an ideal way to disentangle the ethical, political, theological, and scientific aspects of the now obsolete notion of Nature. He lays the groundwork for a future collaboration among scientists, theologians, activists, and artists as they, and we, begin to adjust to the new climatic regime"--

"There is a huge scarcity of good, practical resources for designers and students interested in minimizing the environmental impacts of products. Design + Environment has been specifically written to address this paucity. The book first provides background information to help the reader understand how and why design for environment (DfE) has become so critical to design, with reference to some of the most influential writers, designers and companies in the field. Next, Design + Environment provides a step-by-step approach on how to approach DfE: to design a product that meets requirements for quality, cost, manufacturability and consumer appeal, while at the same time minimising environmental impacts. The first step in the process is to undertake an assessment of environmental impacts, using life-cycle assessment (LCA) or one of the many simpler tools available to help the designer. From then on, DfE becomes an integral part of the normal design process, including the development of concepts, design of prototypes, final design and development of marketing strategies. Environmental assessment tools and strategies to reduce environmental impacts, such as the selection of appropriate materials, are then discussed. Next, some of the links between environmental problems, such as global warming, ozone depletion, water and air pollution and the everyday products we consume are considered. In order to design products with minimal environmental impact, we need to have a basic understanding of these impacts and the interactions between them. The four subsequent chapters provide more detailed strategies and case studies for particular product groups: packaging, textiles, furniture, and electrical and electronic products. Guidelines are provided for each of the critical stages of a product's life, from the selection of raw materials through to strategies for recovery and recycling. Finally, Design + Environment takes a look at some of the emerging trends in DfE that are offering us the opportunity to make a more significant reduction in environmental impacts. Both the development of more sustainable materials and technologies and the growing interest in leasing rather than selling products are examined. Design + Environment is organized as a workbook rather than an academic text. It should be read once, and then used as a key reference source. This clear and informative book will prove to be invaluable to practising designers, to course directors and their students in need of a core teaching and reference text and to all those interested in learning about the tools and trends influencing green product design. The authors have all been involved in an innovative demonstration programme called "EcoReDesign", which was developed by the Centre for Design at RMIT University with funding from the Australian government. The Centre successfully collaborated with Australian companies to improve the environmental performance of their products by following DfE principles."--Provided by publisher.
