DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the third national report on the state of the Canadian environment, with the goal of providing timely, accurate, and accessible environmental information, integrated with socio-economic factors, to improve decision making and support progress toward sustainability. The introductory part I reviews the concepts of sustainability as an overall goal and the ecosystem approach to viewing the environment. Part II describes seven groups of Canadian ecozones, their biophysical characteristics, and the effects of human activities on those ecozones, and assesses the sustainability of the overall ecosystem. Part III integrates information on air, water, land, and biota, as well as human activities, for the country as a whole. Chapters on environmental components, human activities, and urban areas emphasize interaction within and among social, economic, and environmental elements. Data presentation by province and territory, where appropriate, complements the presentation by ecozone in part II. Part IV examines how individual and collective actions have implications on the ecosphere (global) scale, focusing on three key issues: toxic substances, biodiversity change, and atmospheric change. The concluding part summarizes findings in relation to the goal of sustainability. includes glossary.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book provides an analytic framework from which the foundation of ideological perspectives, administrative structures, and substantive issues are explored. Departing from traditional approaches that emphasize a single discipline or perspective, it offers an interdisciplinary framework with which to think through ecological, political, economic, and social issues. It also provides a multi-stage analysis of policy making from agenda setting through the evaluation process. The integration of social science perspectives and the combination of theoretical and empirical work make this innovative book one of the most comprehensive analyses of Canadian natural resource and environmental policy to date.
