Sustainable procurement
“It's a fight against time." That is how the book begins, presenting a historical background of how the topic of sustainable production and consumption was included in the global agenda and reached Brazil. It is clear in the work who and what the potential actors and instruments that interact for that purpose are. In a fun way, thematic infographics show the impact from consumption and production, inspired by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). In Chapters 2 and 3, readers will find inspiring examples of institutional procurement collected through exclusive interviews, news articles, corporate reports and scientific articles describing successful experiences in the public and private sectors, hig...
Compra sustentável
Desde os primórdios da humanidade, o ato de consumir está associado ao atendimento das necessidades básicas à sustentação da vida. Ao longo dos séculos, o verbo "comprar" definiu limites entre riqueza e pobreza, desenvolvimento e subdesenvolvimento, saúde e doença, e até entre felicidade e tristeza. Valores baseados em cifrões, volumes e quantidades se sobrepuseram à qualidade, ao uso justo e sustentável. No mundo em transformação, os esforços destinados a combater o aquecimento global, alimentar a população crescente, reduzir a desigualdade social e garantir os recursos naturais para o bem estar futuro do ser humano passam necessariamente pela maneira como governos, empres...

A sustentabilidade na administração pública e as "compras compartilhadas"
Com o agravamento da crise ambiental a partir da segunda metade do Século XX, passou-se a analisar o desenvolvimento sob o enfoque da sustentabilidade, surgindo, como síntese de modelos antagônicos, o princípio do desenvolvimento sustentável, hoje alçado à categoria de princípio estruturante do direito ambiental-constitucional. Com facetas multidimensionais, esse princípio irradia efeitos aos mais diversos ramos do direito, incluindo-se o administrativo, desenvolvendo-se um modelo gerencial sustentável da coisa pública, no qual as compras compartilhadas ganham destaque, pois atendem aos três pilares fundamentais da sustentabilidade: ambiental, econômico e social, gerando menos i...

Oceanography Challenges to Future Earth
This book documents the effects of natural hazards on coastal ecosystems in detail. The sea is an indispensable component of the Earth system, and human societies obtain many goods and services from the marine environment. Global warming threatens marine ecosystems through seawater temperature rise, acidification, sea-level rise and the increased frequency of severe storms. The repeated effects of tsunamis also have major impacts on coastal ecosystems. Increases in population and industry activities along the coast cause the degradation of coastal ecosystems through direct and indirect uses of the environment such as reclamation, overexploitation of bioresources, and pollution. Given these f...
