"Environment has become a central issue in the present day world. Environmental sustainability has been advocated as a major goal to deal with growing problems of pollution that threaten the very existence of the human beings. The dismal picture of global warming brings to the attention the necessity of environmental performance so that the governments in the world can take positive steps toward sustainability. The book uses the data from the Yale Center for Environment and Policy. It uses Environmental Performance Index (EPI) prepared by the Yale Center. The book explores the relationship between environmental performance and democracy, ideology, leadership, good governance, participation in international agreements, economic factors, and globalization"--

Belgium has made progress in decoupling several environmental pressures from economic growth, in improving wastewater treatment and in expanding protected areas. Regions have achieved high levels of recovery and recycling, and have pioneered circular economy policies. However, further efforts are needed to progress towards carbon neutrality, reduce air and water pollution, reverse biodiversity loss and consolidate results of circular economy initiatives.

Tall buildings represent one of the most energy-intensive architectural typologies, while at the same time offering the high density work and living conditions that many believe will an important constituent of future sustainable communities. How, then, can their environmental impact be lessened? This insightful book takes in: an overview of the tall building and its impacts (looking at cityscape, place, mobility, microclimate, energy and economics) design principles and the development of the sustainable tall building global perspectives (covering North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia) detailed, qualitative case studies of buildings in design and operation the future for sustainable tall buildings. Not simply another showcase for future utopian designs and ideals, the information presented here is based on hard research from operating buildings. Highly illustrated and combining analysis with solid detail for practice, this is essential reading for architects, building engineers, design consultants, retrofitters and urban planners interested in or working with tall buildings, and researchers/students in these disciplines.
