Chapter Chapter 1 in Natural Resource Degradation and Human-Nature Wellbeing, 2023, pp 1-35 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents an overview of the current state of natural resources—biodiversity, water resources and climate change both in the context of the world and Bangladesh—based on the analysis of available macro-data. The discussion illustrates the degrading trend of nature in general and the severity of the problems faced by developing countries in particular. Specifically, the findings underscore that biodiversity resources are degrading at the most expeditious rate, water resources are unevenly distributed and unsustainably managed by the countries and climate change has emerged as a challenge for governing global commons resulting in inequality. In the latter part, the chapter explains the scope and approach of the book in detail where it also highlights the key variables of the alternative resource governance framework that has been developed in this book. The final section ends with outlining the organisation of the chapters throughout the book.
