The increasing pressure on water resources due to population growth and high water consumption, especially in urban areas from tropical developing countries, has led to a rise in water stress. The sustainability analysis of the Total Water Footprint (WF) and the Environmental Sustainability Index (SI) are holistic water management tools that allow for establishing pressures over water resources.

21 p, 2.5 MB Compensation for atmospheric appropriation / Fanning, Andrew (University of Leeds) ; Hickel, Jason 1982- (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)

Women environmental defenders face retaliation for mobilizing against extractive and polluting projects, which perpetrate violence against Indigenous, minority, poor and rural communities.
