努力实现生态优先、绿色发展

习近平总书记指示:推动长江经济带发展必须坚持生态优先、绿色发展,要抓大保护,不搞大开发.本文分别讨论了为什么要抓大保护,绿色发展的重点是什么,以及生态优先、绿色发展应该由谁来完成等三个问题,并提出了生态文明建设的主要目标是节约资源、保护环境、保护生态,生态文明建设应在生产领域、消费领域、城镇化建设领域、自然生态系统保护领域,以及加强法治、制度、政策和文化、教育、宣传等领域同时进行.      

基于能值分析的西安市三个发展核心区可持续性研究

本文基于能值分析和城市复合生态系统的理论与方法,从生态环境系统及社会经济系统两方面,对西安市灞桥区、雁塔区和未央区2014年的基础数据进行计算整理,通过分析三个发展核心区的能值利用效率,排除废物流能值对系统的消极影响,构建基于能值利用效率(EUE)的系统可持续发展程度指标(EUSDI),确切评估三个区城市复合生态系统的可持续发展能力。结果表明:灞桥区可持续发展指数为0.1545,雁塔区为0.0906,未央区为0.0579。灞桥区能值利用效率为较高的94.81%,可更新资源较为丰富,但较为依赖不可更新资源与外部输入产品;雁塔区能值利用效率为较低的86.57%,社会经济发展程度较高,但可更新资源较贫乏,人口过于集中对环境造成很大压力;未央区能值利用率为较低的84.93%,该区可更新资源较少,工业生产消耗大量不可更新资源,"三废"的排放也严重影响了该区的生态环境。     

基于系统投入产出和生态网络分析的能源-水耦合关系与协同管理研究——以湖北省为例

能源和水资源之间存在紧密的耦合关系。以往的资源管理政策往往只关注单一资源,忽略了两者的关联性。为促进能源和水资源综合管理,有必要开展能源-水耦合关系和协同管理研究。从社会经济网络视角出发,论文综合运用系统投入产出和生态网络分析方法,构建了湖北省2007和2012年能源-水耦合网络核算框架。结果表明：1）2012年湖北体现能源最终消费量为14 304.93万tce,体现水资源最终消费量为346.66亿m³,相比2007年分别增长52.26%和7.89%,其中,体现在最终使用中能源与水资源流有近50%来自制造业;2）2007年湖北省水资源网络和能源网络的循环率都约为2.71%,与2007年相比,2012年水资源网络循环率显著增长至4.23%~4.40%,而能源网络循环率则变化较小;3）能源网络和水资源网络的系统鲁棒性都偏向于冗余度更高、效率更低的一侧;4）由于能源-水耦合网络的引入,2007—2012年间,在能源和水资源网络中,电力、热力生产和供应部门对于大多数部门的控制都呈现不同程度的增强趋势。研究辨识了能源与水资源协同管理的关键部门和路径,为湖北省能源和水资源可持续利用提供了理论与数据支撑。     

资源型城市可持续竞争力的培育--以山西省大同市为例

首先对我国资源型城市的倒“U”型发展现象进行解析,接着分析了我国资源型城市存在的主要问题,并对资源型城市的可持续竞争力构建进行了概述,然后通过案例分析的方式,分析了资源型城市在同等规模城市中的可持续竞争能力。最后根据资源型城市的类型分别提出了培育其城市可持续竞争力的对策。     

城市的可持续发展警度--以南京为例

城市作为一个“自然-经济-社会”巨复杂系统．它的运行需要进行不断的描述、评价和解释,以供城市发展调控部门进行动态的有效的调控。从而保证城市的可持续发展。在对城市系统发展度、协调度、持续度以及它们相互关系分析的基础上,提出城市可持续发展度的计算公式．并根据城市可持续发展度以及城市发展度、协调度和持续度的整合状态,对城市可持续发展的各种状态进行分析．得出一种警度分析表．为建立城市可持续发展预警系统提供基础。城市可持续发展预警是在城市可持续发展评价的基础上,对城市发展的序参量以及城市可持续发展相态进行预测．并根据预测的结果和城市可持续发展度进行预警。     

Violence and complex humanitarian emergencies: implications for livelihoods models

This paper explores the nature of the violence that characterises complex humanitarian emergencies and the related implications for modelling livelihoods systems. While noting the importance of livelihoods approaches in complex humanitarian emergencies, it deliberates the limitations of sustainable livelihoods frameworks when applied in environments marked by protracted instability. Adaptations to the model are discussed, with a particular focus on the relationships among violence, assets and liabilities within livelihoods systems. Political economy of violence theories intimate that the assets on which livelihoods systems are constructed in peaceful times may instead become life-and livelihood-threatening liabilities in periods of conflict. Adaptations to livelihood systems in violent settings require that analysts consider violence from policy, institutional and process perspectives. It is suggested that vulnerability should be re-conceptualised as endogenous to livelihoods systems in violent settings. Building on the work of others, a livelihoods model adapted for complex humanitarian emergencies is presented.     

Climate change and disaster management

Climate change, although a natural phenomenon, is accelerated by human activities. Disaster policy response to climate change is dependent on a number of factors, such as readiness to accept the reality of climate change, institutions and capacity, as well as willingness to embed climate change risk assessment and management in development strategies. These conditions do not yet exist universally. A focus that neglects to enhance capacity-building and resilience as a prerequisite for managing climate change risks will, in all likelihood, do little to reduce vulnerability to those risks. Reducing vulnerability is a key aspect of reducing climate change risk. To do so requires a new approach to climate change risk and a change in institutional structures and relationships. A focus on development that neglects to enhance governance and resilience as a prerequisite for managing climate change risks will, in all likelihood, do little to reduce vulnerability to those risks.

GIS-based assessment of the threat to world forests by patterns of non-sustainable civilisation nature interaction

The paper presents a novel transdisciplinary approach to investigate non-sustainable civilisation–nature interactions in the context of global change. The approach rests on the decomposition of intricate dynamics of Global Change into problematic patterns civilisation nature interactions (‘syndromes’) this is done by an iterative process of observations, data and theoretical system analysis and GIS-based modelling attempts. These syndromes of global change characterise endangering and risky developments of civilisation nature interaction and represent a baseline for measuring and indicating ‘non-sustainability’; in order to have a sustainable development it is necessary to have a far-reaching absence of syndromes. They encompass the core problems of global change, e.g. soil degradation, climate change, threats to biodiversity or global deforestation. Patterns are defined as characteristic constellations of global change trends (‘symptoms’). Cause–effect schemes of symptoms and their interrelations are constituted as complex phenomena resulting from interactions over the different spheres of the Earth system (biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, population, pedosphere, economy, psychosocial sphere, social organisation, science and technology). The approach is illustrated by an analysis of civilisation–nature interaction patterns relevant for global deforestation. Global forest ecosystems have been chosen for this investigation because of their important role in the global carbon cycle and their importance for biological diversity. The resulting geographical patchwork of the combined dispositions and intensities of the different syndromes describes current and future regional threats to forests by their underlying global cause–effect patterns of civilisation–nature interaction.
