Studies on societal metabolism from households to the global economy
/
Pérez Sánchez, Laura ;
Velasco Fernandez, Raul, dir. ;
Giampietro, Mario, dir.
Assolir la sostenibilitat és un problema pervers que requereix la consideració de moltes variables i camps no equivalents i no comparables simultàniament, no només la mitigació i l'adaptació al canvi climàtic, com s'emmarca en molts casos. [...] Lograr la sostenibilidad es un problema perverso que requiere la consideración de muchas variables y campos no equivalentes y no comparables simultáneamente, no solo la mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático, como se enmarca en muchos casos. [...] Achieving sustainability is a wicked problem requiring the consideration of many non-equivalent and non-comparable variables and fields simultaneously, not only climate change mitigation and adaptation, as it is framed in many cases.

L'energia fòssil és omnipresent a les pràctiques de producció i consum de la societat occidental. Com a habitants urbans, estem tan distanciats de les realitats biofísiques que subjauen al metabolisme social, que vam perdre la consciència sobre el paper vital dels combustibles fòssils a les societats modernes. [...] La energía fósil es omnipresente en las prácticas de producción y consumo de la sociedad occidental. Como habitantes urbanos, estamos tan distanciados de las realidades biofísicas que subyacen al metabolismo social, que perdimos la conciencia sobre el papel vital de los combustibles fósiles en las sociedades modernas. [...] Fossil energy is ubiquitous in Western societal production and consumption practices. As urban dwellers, we are so detached from the biophysical realities underlying Western societal metabolism, that we lost awareness about the vital role of fossil fuels as enablers of modern societies.

Forest conversion and conservation in rural settings are linked to both social and biophysical drivers. However, the joint analysis of these drivers presents methodological challenges. To address this problem, we propose a novel methodology to explore the relationship between livelihood heterogeneity and land use change at the community level. [...]

L'eficiència energètica és una estratègia política important a escala mundial per disminuir el consum d'energia, assegurar-ne el subministrament i reduir les emissions de gasos d'efecte hivernacle. [...] La eficiencia energética es una estrategia política importante a nivel mundial para disminuir el consumo de energía, asegurar el suministro de la misma y reducir las emisiones de carbono. Sin embargo, la demanda energética sigue aumentando y los objetivos para la mitigación de los efectos del cambio climático no se están cumpliendo. [...] Energy efficiency is an important energy policy strategy globally to reduce energy consumption, secure energy supply, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. On a global scale, however, energy demand is rising and climate mitigation targets are ¬¬not being met. [...]
