Environmental Eco governance: A Solution to Ecological Disruptions
The Earth has undergone significant transformations due to anthropogenic action (i.e., effects caused by human activities, as opposed to natural processes). This has led to severe ecological disruptions.
In this context, administrative strategies known as Eco governance have been developed, aimed at managing resources under principles of social responsibility, efficiency, quality, and environmental protection, with the goal of promoting sustainable development.
Today, modern civilization has increased consumption and the production of domestic and industrial waste. This requires more infrastructure, technology, and human capital to mitigate environmental impacts.
According to various studies, Eco governance is a strategy for the integrated management of land, water, and living resources, promoting conservation based on scientific methods.
In simple terms, it means managing the planet as a connected system, not as separate resources.
This approach recognizes:
- Levels of biological organization
- Ecosystem functions and interactions
- Humans as an active part of the natural system, with cultural diversity
