湖北省2008年初低温雨雪冰冻灾害特点及影响分析

008年初,湖北省出现了自1954/1955年冬季以来最严重的低温雨雪冰冻灾害,直接经济损失高达110亿元以上,分析评估此次灾害的基本特点及对各行各业的影响,可为今后抗御类似灾害提供依据。结果表明：①此次灾害影响范围广,受灾人数多,损失重,第三、四场雪使危害迅速加剧,后续效应强、时间长;②影响行业可分为交通、电网及供电系统、通讯、农业、林业、企业和市政设施、居民生活、湖泊结冰等8大类,并可细分为24小类,涉及社会和人们生活的众多方面,足见影响面之广,危害之重;③影响因子以低温、冰冻（道路结冰、电线覆冰）、雪压等为主,另外还有大风、雪雾、湖泊封冻、冰雪融化等;④由于降雪及低温持续时间长、雪量大,对农林业危害严重;由于电力、〖JP2〗通讯、建筑设施以及道路结冰严重,对电网、电力供应、交通安全以及社会公众生产、生活等造成极大的影响。〖     

Reimagining Sustainability: An Interrogation of the Corporate Knights' Global 100

This study examines sustainability reports of the Corporate Knights' “Global 100 Most Sustainable Companies in the World” in order to examine if and how they have been affected by Arturo Escobar's original critique of sustainable development (SD). Via thematic analysis, the study reveals that these corporations have circumvented Escobar's assessment by emphasizing sustainability as corporate growth and profit, without addressing some of the most prominent social concerns in our world today. The goal of this study was to trigger new ways of imagining SD, which speak to issues of equality and justice. Thus, it advances a view of sustainability that is driven by the logic of nature rather than by the logic of market. This study also suggests that researchers and practitioners should define praxis through engagement with local communities rather than through the traditional top-down approaches to sustainability.
