Unit 9- ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS. ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS is a branch of economics which deals with the interrelationship between environment and economic development..

•CONCEPT AND TYPES OF ENVIRONMENT- IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENT IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

? IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENT IN ECONOMICDEVELOPMENT.

Firms. Household s. Resources. Products. Factors.

When Environment fails to perform these functions crisis arises in the Environment. ENVIRONMENTAL problems are basically man made and economic has solutions for development..Hence there is a linkage between economic development and Environment. Development projects involve depletion of natural resources. So ECONOMIC policies concerned with agriculture and rural development should be ENVIRONMENTAL friendly. So Environment is important for economic development as it provides the resources for economic development. At the same time the environment get damaged through economic activities. A balance between these two should be maintained by all..

♦️CONCEPT OF ECO SYSTEM, POLLUTION & ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION.

TYPOLOGY OF ECO SYSTEM. There are two types of natural ecosystems 1.AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM ( acqua means water) 2.TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEM. ( Terra means land ) In acquatic ecosystem , organisms interact with water.ex.lakes,rivers and marine. In terrestrial ecosystem , organisms interact with land ex: forest, desert..

2.pollution. Pollution is – when gasses, smoke , chemicals and harmful materials into the environment In large doses that makes it harmful for humans ,animals, and plants. These harmful materials are called pollutants. Pollutants can be natural, such as volcanic Ash . They can also be created by human activities such as release of chemicals and smoke from factories and vehicles. Pollution causes an imbalance in the Environment..

What is Air pollution? Air pollution is a mixture of harmful solid particles in the air. Air is polluted by many things. The sources of air pollution are Agriculture activities Smoke & harmful Gases released from factories Using coal and wood as fuel for fire . Causes a lot of air pollution..

What is water pollution? When harmful substances like chemicals enter into the water they make the water useless and harmful and changes the quality of fresh water . This is called water pollution. Main causes of water pollution are . Excessive use of in organic chemicals in agriculture. Throwing garbage in water bodies etc..

What is noise pollution? Noise pollution means harm created by sound. Traffic, railways, industries, construction work, public gathering, use of loud speakers, crackers, drums etc. which create noise pollution. Noise pollution affects Human beings, animals and birds also. It damages the ear and causes temporary or permanent hearing loss. It creates irritation and affects the brain and nervous system..

? ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION. ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION is an umbrella concept which covers a variety of issues Including pollution, biodiversity loss & animals extinction , Deforestation and global warming etc. It is defined as any change or disturbance to the environment. ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION does not talk only about human beings but also about nature. ✍️UNISRS – United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, they defined ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION as “ The reduction of the capacity of the Environment to Meet social and ecological objectives and needs”..

REASONS FOR ENVIRONMENT DEGRADATION. 1.Pollution –.

Effects of ENVIRONMENT DEGRADATION. Human health might be at the end as a result of Environment DEGRADATION .Areas exposed to toxic air pollution can cause respiratory problems like asthma. 2. Bio diversity is important for maintaining the balance of the Eco system. Pollution and Deforestation are the major causes of loss of bio diversity. 3. The ozone layer is responsible for protecting the earth from harmful Ray's. The presence of hydro,chloro floro carbon In the atmosphere ozone layer is depleted. 4.Tourists visit a country to see any enjoy the nature, animals and birds of the green landscape. Due to Environmental damage like air and water pollution is a big turn off for most of the tourists. .Environment DEGRADATION can be prevented by taking care of our mother Earth?. People should be educated about the need to protect Environment from DEGRADATION . . Don’t be so mean, behave like a human.? If u love to breathe, then save the ? trees..

NATURAL RESOURCES. Natural resources – Anything that is found in nature and can be used by living things is a natural resources. . All free gifts of nature like land , water, minerals, forest ,wild life etc. are called natural resources. Some natural resources are available in raw form and man converts them into useful products with capital and technology. Some Natural resources are hidden in nature and they come out only when people explore them ..

Different types of Natural resources. 1.Renewable resources : Resources that can be used again and again. They are always available next can be recycled. Ex : Wind , Land, plants, Air, water, etc. . They can be regained ..

Importance of Natural Resources IN ECONOMIC Development.

NEED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. ENVIRONMENT protection is the practice of protecting the Natural Environment by individuals, governments and organizations. Its objective Ate to conserve natural resources and the existing natural environment and where possible to repair damage and reverse trends. Due to the pressure of Over consumption, population growth and technology, the biophysical Environment is being degraded sometimes permanently. This has been recognized and governments have begun placing restraints on the activities that cause ENVIRONMENTAL damage..

HOW TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. The Environment plays the most significant role and it is a survival of every life form on the earth. The natural Resources around us on Earth is our Environment. To protect the Environment and make it safe we should.. Ban the use of plastic bags and products. 2.Do not use the chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture rather than go for organic ones. Save forest, plants and trees because they are the lungs of the environment. Minimize the use of ground water or surface water..

?SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. ECONOMIC Development without destruction of Environment is called SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. It is defined as “Development meeting the needs of present without compromising the ability of the future generation to meet their own needs ”..

OBJECTIVES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. 1. Increase of growth /income : sustainable development aims to increase the standard of living. 2. Continuity of development : physical, human ,and natural capital are to be preserved. 3. Controlling Degradation : Development should not lead to Environmental damage. 4. Protection of Bio diversity : sustainable development gives priority to preserve the Bio diversity..

IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. 1. Change of Attitude – sustainable development changes the attitude of the people. Instead of abusing nature we must protect it. 2.Eco friendly Innovations – it encourages only Eco friendly method for economic development. 3. Future development- it ensures economic well being of the future generation by protecting the Environment. 4. Scope of increased actions by the government- sustainable development assigns greater role to the government. 5 Realization of the importance of nature – sustainable development helps the people to realize the the importance of the nature..
