In recent times, biofuels are receiving increased attention because they have the potential to enhance the energy security of energy deficit nations while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They also provide opportunities for inclusive rural development. This paper shows that prevailing administered prices do not provide adequate financial incentives to produce biodiesel in India. In contrast to financial analysis results, social cost–benefit analysis shows that biodiesel production from jatropha and pongamia is economically viable. This paper illustrates that financial analysis results may not provide a sound basis for pubic policy, particularly when there are distortions in the market. Biodiesel has the potential to significantly generate rural employment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If the production is limited only to wastelands, in meeting 20 per cent blending target, biodiesel would not affect food production in India. While explaining the reasons for failure of biodiesel production taking off in a big way in India, the paper argues that public sector interventions are necessary to correct existing market, non-market, and institutional failures, which prevent development of biodiesel markets.
近年来,生物燃料受到越来越多的关注,因为它们有可能加强能源短缺国家的能源安全,同时减少温室气体排放。它们还为包容性农村发展提供了机会。这篇论文表明,现行的管理价格不能为印度生产生物柴油提供足够的财政激励。与财务分析结果相比,社会成本效益分析表明,从麻疯树和桐树中生产生物柴油在经济上是可行的。本文表明,财务分析结果可能无法为公共政策提供可靠的基础,特别是在市场存在扭曲的情况下。生物柴油具有显著创造农村就业机会和减少温室气体排放的潜力。如果只把生产限制在荒地上,在达到20%的混合目标的情况下,生物柴油将不会影响印度的粮食生产。在解释印度生物柴油生产未能大规模起飞的原因的同时,该论文认为,公共部门的干预是必要的,以纠正现有的市场、非市场和制度上的失败,这些失败阻碍了生物柴油市场的发展。

Conservation of wetlands to mitigate urban floods 保护湿地以减轻城市洪水
Pub Date : 2012-01-01 DOI: 10.3233/RED-120001
T. Ramachandra, B. Aithal, U. Kumar
Floods in an urbanized landscape refer to the partial or complete inundation from the rapid accumulation or run-off resulting in the damage to property and loss of biotic elements (including humans). Urban flooding is a consequence of increased impermeable catchments resulting in higher catchment Study area yield in a shorter duration and flood peaks sometimes reach up to three times. Thus, flooding occurs quickly due to faster flow times (in a matter of minutes). Causal factors include combinations of loss of pervious area in urbanising landscapes, inadequate drainage systems, blockade due to indiscriminate disposal of solid waste and building debris, encroachment of storm water drains, housing in floodplains and natural drainage and loss of natural flood-storages sites. Flood mitigation in urban landscape entails integrated ecological approaches combining the watershed land-use planning with the regional development planning. This includes engineering measures and flood preparedness with the understanding of ecological and hydrological functions of the landscape.
城市化景观中的洪水是指由于快速积累或径流造成的部分或完全淹没,从而造成财产损失和生物要素(包括人类)的损失。城市洪水是不透水集水区增加的结果,导致集水区研究区在较短时间内的产量增加,洪水峰值有时高达三倍。因此,洪水发生得很快,由于更快的流动时间(在几分钟内)。原因包括城市化景观中透水面积的减少、排水系统的不足、因随意处置固体废物和建筑碎片而造成的堵塞、雨水排水渠的侵蚀、洪泛区和自然排水系统中的住房以及自然储洪地点的丧失。城市景观防洪需要综合生态方法,将流域土地利用规划与区域发展规划相结合。这包括工程措施和防洪准备,了解景观的生态和水文功能。

A vast majority of India's 700 million plus rural population,and most of the 30 million population of Odisha, living in its villages, are critically dependent on Common Property Resources (CPRs) for earning their livelihood. In this backdrop, the paper has made an attempt to study the degree, extent, and determinants of common property forest resource dependency at a household level in the villages of Odisha. The field survey results suggest that income from common property forests constitutes 30.97% of the Common property forest dependency in Odisha total average annual household income. For the poorest 10% of the Objectives, database, and sample households, CPR forest income constitutes 58.70% of their total methodology annual income and for the richest 10% the same has been estimated Empirical findings at 12.88%. Multivariate regression analysis reveals that CPR forest dependency is directly related to household size but inversely related to economic condition and agricultural land holding.
印度7亿多农村人口中的绝大多数,以及奥里萨邦3000万农村人口中的大多数,都严重依赖共同财产资源(CPRs)来谋生。在此背景下,本文试图研究奥里萨邦农村家庭对共有财产森林资源依赖的程度、程度和决定因素。实地调查结果表明,共有产权林的收入占奥里萨邦共有产权林家庭平均年收入的30.97%。对于目标、数据库和样本家庭中最贫穷的10%,CPR森林收入占其总方法年收入的58.70%,而对于最富有的10%,这一比例估计为12.88%。多元回归分析表明,农户对森林的依赖程度与农户规模呈正相关,与农户经济条件和农业用地持有程度呈负相关。

Institutional contexts, forest resources, and local communities in western India: a gendered analysis 印度西部的制度背景、森林资源和地方社区:性别分析
Pub Date : 2011-01-01 DOI: 10.3233/RED-120087

In addition to ecosystem services, forests supply essential resources such as timber and non-timber forest products to rural populations who live nearby. These resources contribute vitally to household energy, materials, and various nutritional and medicinal requirements. In many parts of the developing world, women are assigned the task of acquiring these resources. Eco-feminism has used an essentialist position to explain the relation between forests and rural women. This paper, however, argues for the adoption of an institutional ecology approach to clarify patterns of interaction between rural communities and forests. Such an approach focuses on the role played by institutions, civil society, and individuals in environmental exchanges. Using field observations and data from western India, the paper examines the complex arrangement of interactions between rural populations and forest ecosystems, which is mediated by state institutions and long-standing socio-cultural norms and traditions. Data and field observations reveal considerable dependency on forest products in local villages. Patterns of society-forest interaction reflect local socio-cultural and political realities, and reveal the vulnerabilities faced by certain-more dependent and socio-economically marginal—communities, especially the adivasis.
除了生态系统服务外,森林还为附近的农村人口提供木材和非木材林产品等基本资源。这些资源对家庭能源、材料以及各种营养和医疗需求起着至关重要的作用。在发展中世界的许多地方,妇女被赋予了获取这些资源的任务。生态女性主义以本质主义的立场来解释森林与农村妇女的关系。然而,本文主张采用制度生态学方法来澄清农村社区与森林之间相互作用的模式。这种方法侧重于机构、公民社会和个人在环境交流中所发挥的作用。本文利用来自印度西部的实地观察和数据,研究了农村人口与森林生态系统之间相互作用的复杂安排,这是由国家机构和长期的社会文化规范和传统所调解的。数据和实地观察显示,当地村庄相当依赖林产品。社会-森林相互作用的模式反映了当地的社会文化和政治现实,并揭示了某些更依赖和社会经济边缘社区,特别是土著人所面临的脆弱性。

Implementation of Forest Rights Act, changing forest landscape, and “politics of REDD+” in India 《森林权利法案》的实施,森林景观的变化,以及印度“REDD+政治”
Pub Date : 2011-01-01 DOI: 10.3233/RED-120089

Despite the rapid development of REDD+, in terms of policy and on ground, there is little empirical evidence on how REDD+ interacts with existing governance mechanisms and impacts people's rights. Implementation of the Forest Rights Act, 2006 (FRA) in India provides an interesting insight into this interaction. Peoples’ rights over forest resources are being recognized under FRA in a comprehensive manner for the first time in independent India. Although a number of challenges of implementation are yet to be addressed, it has started changing the forest landscape of the country by redefining the relationship between the state and the people with regard to the use and management of forest resources. Close to 1.169 million claims for individual and community rights, covering about 3% of the forest area of the country, have been recognized up to 30 April 2011. People are expected to have much more control over the resources if FRA is implemented in its true spirit. While FRA is being implemented, the Government of India wants to leverage its forest conservation record in international climate change negotiations through REDD+. India considers REDD+ to be a bargaining chip in the negotiations. Civil society groups, however, are strongly contesting this instrument, as they fear REDD+ might provide an opportunity to the government to scuttle implementation of FRA. This contestation or politics of REDD+ is being negotiated and renegotiated continuously, where different stakeholders are guarding their own interests. This case provides some early indications of contestations, which REDD+ is going to evoke at the country level.
尽管REDD+发展迅速,但就政策和实际情况而言,很少有经验证据表明REDD+如何与现有治理机制相互作用并影响人民权利。印度2006年《森林权利法》的实施为这种相互作用提供了一个有趣的视角。在独立的印度,人民对森林资源的权利第一次在森林资源评估下得到全面承认。虽然执行方面的一些挑战尚未解决,但它已开始改变该国的森林景观,重新界定了国家与人民在森林资源的使用和管理方面的关系。截至2011年4月30日,已承认了近116.9万件个人和社区权利要求,约占该国森林面积的3%。如果以其真正的精神实施森林资源评估,人们有望对资源有更多的控制权。在实施森林资源评估的同时,印度政府希望通过REDD+在国际气候变化谈判中利用其森林保护记录。印度认为REDD+是谈判中的谈判筹码。然而,民间社会团体强烈反对这一工具,因为他们担心REDD+可能为政府提供破坏联邦铁路网实施的机会。REDD+的争论或政治正在不断地谈判和重新谈判,不同的利益相关者都在保护自己的利益。这个案例提供了一些争论的早期迹象,REDD+将在国家层面唤起这些争论。

Cities and sustainable urban development: challenges, conflicts, and cohesion 城市与可持续城市发展:挑战、冲突与凝聚力
Pub Date : 2011-01-01 DOI: 10.3233/RED-120078
P. Roberts
Considering the rapid growth of world population, especially the global urban population, it comes as no surprise that many conventional means of delivering the planning, development, and management of cities are unlikely to remain viable over the long term. Although this realization has only recently been acknowledged, the shift towards the adoption of what can best be described as a sustainable development perspective on urban form and function has profound implications for both what is done in urban areas and how actions are delivered. With regard to the future of urban areas—which range in size from small remote rural settlements that are home to a few families, to global megacities whose populations run in millions—there are many implications, and consequently, there is an urgent need to rethink both the approaches used to construct and implement urban policy and the methods utilized to ensure the full and active engagement of all members of the urban community in securing the long-term future of cities. An important guiding concept, which can be used to provide a high level of coherence with regard to both the general approach and the particular mechanisms adopted to ensure effective implementation and engagement, is encapsulated by the term ‘human urban environment’ (Roberts, Ravetz, and George 2009). This overarching concept is, in turn, derived from Artur Glikson’s notion of the ‘urban environment’, which he memorably described as ‘the space which surrounds human movement, work, habitation, rest, and interaction’ (Glikson 1971). What Glikson was offering was a model that transcends the normal definition of the environment with its primary concern for natural resources and ecosystems. This expresses the desirability of a wider perspective, which views the transformation of biological and physical factors in space, and considers the urban outcomes and consequences of these various transformational Introduction The context for sustainable urban development The elaboration and implementation of policy Future development pathways References
考虑到世界人口的快速增长,特别是全球城市人口的快速增长,许多传统的城市规划、发展和管理方式不太可能长期保持可行性,这一点也不奇怪。虽然这一认识直到最近才得到承认,但转向采用关于城市形式和功能的可持续发展观点,对城市地区的工作和如何采取行动都具有深远的影响。关于城市地区的未来——从少数家庭居住的偏远农村小居民点到人口数百万的全球特大城市——有许多影响,因此,迫切需要重新思考用于构建和实施城市政策的方法,以及用于确保城市社区所有成员充分和积极参与确保城市长期未来的方法。“人类城市环境”一词概括了一个重要的指导概念,该概念可用于在确保有效实施和参与的一般方法和特定机制方面提供高度的一致性(Roberts, Ravetz, and George, 2009)。反过来,这个总体概念源于阿图尔·格利克森的“城市环境”概念,他将其描述为“围绕人类运动、工作、居住、休息和互动的空间”(格利克森1971)。格利克森提供的是一个模型,它超越了环境的正常定义,主要关注自然资源和生态系统。这表达了一种更广阔的视角的可取性,它观察了空间中生物和物理因素的转变,并考虑了这些各种转变的城市结果和后果引言可持续城市发展的背景、政策的制定和实施、未来发展路径参考

The geography of greenhouse gas emissions from within urban areas of India: a preliminary assessment 印度城市地区温室气体排放的地理分布:初步评估
Pub Date : 2011-01-01 DOI: 10.3233/RED-120079
P. Marcotullio, Jochen Albrecht, Andrea Sarzynski
This paper examines the patterns of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from urban areas in India–a rapidly growing and urbanizing nation. It uses a new dataset, Emission Data for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR), to estimate the urban share of national GHG emissions. It presents a geographic picture of emission variation by urban form (urban population size, area size, density, and growth rate), and economic (GDP and GDP per capita), geographic (location of emissions released: 20, 40, and 80 km from urban areas), and biophysical (ecosystem and climate: cooling degree days) characteristics. Dependent variables include emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and hexafl uoride (SF6) from 14 source activities (agricultural soils, agricultural wastes, aviation, energy, fossil-fuel fi res, fugitive escapes from solids, industry, livestock, navigation, non-road transport, oil and gas production, residential, road transport, and waste) for the year 2000 that are allocated on a 0.1° global grid. We examine 721 urban areas with more than 50,000 residents (accounting for 92% of the total Indian urban population), present fi ndings, and compare our results with urban-level carbon footprint analyses. The results demonstrate that GHG emissions from urban areas in India are lower than that presented in the literature, and that differences in emissions levels vary with urban form, economic, geographic, and biophysical variables.
本文研究了印度城市地区温室气体(GHG)排放的模式,印度是一个快速增长和城市化的国家。它使用一个新的数据集——全球大气研究排放数据(EDGAR)来估计城市在国家温室气体排放中所占的份额。它通过城市形态(城市人口规模、面积大小、密度和增长率)、经济(GDP和人均GDP)、地理(排放位置:距离城市20公里、40公里和80公里)和生物物理(生态系统和气候:冷却度)特征呈现了排放变化的地理图景。因变量包括2000年来自14个来源活动(农业土壤、农业废物、航空、能源、化石燃料燃烧、固体逸出物、工业、牲畜、航海、非公路运输、石油和天然气生产、住宅、公路运输和废物)的二氧化碳(CO2)、甲烷(CH4)、氧化亚氮(N2O)和六氟化六烷(SF6)的排放,这些活动分配在0.1°全球网格上。我们研究了721个超过5万居民的城市地区(占印度城市总人口的92%),提出了研究结果,并将我们的结果与城市层面的碳足迹分析进行了比较。结果表明,印度城市地区的温室气体排放量低于文献中提出的水平,并且排放水平的差异因城市形态、经济、地理和生物物理变量而异。

It uses a new dataset, Emission Data for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR), to estimate the urban share of national GHG emissions. It presents a geographic picture of emission variation by urban form (urban population size, area size, density, and growth rate), and economic (GDP and GDP per capita), geographic (location of emissions released: 20, 40, and 80 km from urban areas), and biophysical (ecosystem and climate: cooling degree days) characteristics. Dependent variables include emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and hexafl uoride (SF6) from 14 source activities (agricultural soils, agricultural wastes, aviation, energy, fossil-fuel fi res, fugitive escapes from solids, industry, livestock, navigation, non-road transport, oil and gas production, residential, road transport, and waste) for the year 2000 that are allocated on a 0.1° global grid.
