Ecodevelopment being a multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholders strategy aims at a combination of development and attainment of equilibrium with the environment for sustainability. At a time when the world is fast reckoning the impeding horrors of global warming, it is equally important to take cognizance of the fact that environmental degradation also drastically offsets improvements achieved by economic prosperity. The economic development must be accompanied by inclusive and sustainable growth. As human development reaches a climax, people all over the world realize the significance of conservation of the environment and the need for a sustainable development. It has been argued that the present rates are unsustainable, and hence, if economic growth has to be sustained in the long run, the only way to it is to ensure that there is no depletion and degradation of the natural resource base.
This book is an outcome of the valuable contributions in honour of eminent geographer Dr. R.B. Singh made by eminent scientists, teachers and scholars who have been striving to develop alternative strategies solutions and models for ecodevelopment through research, screening, monitoring and experiments varying form local to global level. The book is divided into two sections, first section environment consisting fourteen papers on various environmental issues while second section development having eight papers on different development perspective from local level to global level (Glocal Scale). This volume will be helpful and useful for research scholars, environmentalists, planners, social scientists, academicians and others connected in the field of environment and development. This book can provide atleast context for the debate that must take place to ensure a sustainable future for our interdependent global society.
