Resources and references

This Section presents a sample of publications relevant to the worldwide effort to improve the Governance of Global Environmental issues between 2006-2023. This effort was and still is a time of interest for global expert organizations such as:

  • UN actions, e.g., Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), and Coalition for the UN We Need.

  • Activities of science and industries; private sector.

  • Actions of national and local government, the public, and NGO sectors participation.

  • Practices and case examples of the infrastructure and governance issues (focused on the best practices transfers).

  • Role of low-income provinces in the W&W content.

  • Philosophy works and some discussion fora arranged by Academia.

  • Role of Philanthropists.

W&W regularly follows specific activities on the Internet:

  • Science, social and economic issues, e.g., Academia.edu, International Monetary Fund, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-The Optimist, Bill Gates (via the Gates Notes), DevexNewswire, funds for NGOs, Water and Energy for Food (WE4F), VoLo Foundation, IBM, ConstructionRewiev, CRU Marketing, Grammarly and Machine Learning, Actuality PPM, Entil Asia + Service, Pinterest, and many ad-hoc others.

  • New technology issues: new technologies expertise and impacts on the global and regional issues solutions (Infrastructure and Governance, ICT activities, Blockchain, and Smart Contract vision penetrating project operations worldwide).

References like a sub-library:

Publications of the reference Library were gained with the assistance of Academia.com, through regular Author's sources, and the comprehensive offer of services on the Internet. The goal is to present references in the scope of the W&W interest and build contacts with authors of given works. We will contact them to thank them for the option to disseminate their results, inform them about the library idea, and offer them what we are doing. We see it as an opportunity to open links among us further.

The library uses a similar structure to the presentations of works similarly in Section Genesis. If any authors or publishers do not wish to be presented in the Reference Section in this way, we will respect it.
