The environmental impacts of such rapid economic changes have been, more frequently than otherwise, degrading in character. Environmental impacts of economic activities create degraded natural ecosystems by over utilization of nature?s provisioning ecosystem services (from Himalaya to the Ocean), as well, by the use of the natural environment as sink for dumping of unmarketable products or unused inputs of economic activities. Such processes affect wide range of ecosystem processes on which the natural environment including human population depend on. Critical perspectives cast by various chapters in this book draw attention to the various ways in which space and power interact to produce diverse geographies of sustainability in a globalizing world. They also address the questions such as who decides what kind of a spatial arrangement of political power is needed for sustaining the environment. Who stands to gain (or lose) what, when, where, and why from certain geographical areas being demarcated as ecologically unique, fragile and vulnerable environments? Whose needs and values are being catered to by a given ecosystem service? What is the scope for critical inquiry into the ways in which the environment is imagined, represented and resisted in both geopolitical struggles and everyday life? The book provides insights to both academics from diverse disciplines and policy makers, civil society actors interested in mutual exchange of knowledge between China and India. 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEnvironmental geography 606 $aClimate change 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aGeoecology 606 $aEnvironmental geology 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aEnvironmental Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19010 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002 606 $aGeoecology/Natural Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U21006 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEnvironmental geography. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aGeoecology. 615 0$aEnvironmental geology. 615 14$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aEnvironmental Geography. 615 24$aClimate Change. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice. 615 24$aGeoecology/Natural Processes. 676 $a338.927 702 $aDong$b Shikui$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBandyopadhyay$b J$g(Jayanta),$f1947-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aChaturvedi$b Sanjay$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163045303321 996 $aEnvironmental Sustainability from the Himalayas to the Oceans$92508052 997 $aUNINA
