Although people are aware of importance of sustainable environment, they behave like ecologically illiterate citizen; so, mass awareness about the status of the eco-health right from the grass root level to the top ecoplanners is the crying need of the hour. A healthy environment forms the basis for the societies and their people if prospering and enjoying a descent level of development. Growing public awareness brought a halt to some of the destructive spiral environmental problems. It is a moral and ethical issue to try to avoid costly environmental mistakes in future. Only then our long cherished dream of establishing eco-socialism on this watery planet could come true. The health of environment is very important for our sustainable development. So, its management strategies are imperative, therefore, considering these two aspects, this book has been edited to decipher certain deep facts which are undeciphered hitherto. This book is a unique compilation of different recent research articles of eminent environmental biologists and ecoplanners from different parts of our country and the book will be a milestone in the field of environmental sciences because it will be helpful in opening a new vista in the field of environmental management strategy.

Offshore wind energy is one of the most promising and fastest growing alternative energy sources in the world. Offshore Wind Energy Cost Modeling provides a methodological framework to assess installation and decommissioning costs, and using examples from the European experience, provides a broad review of existing processes and systems used in the offshore wind industry. Offshore Wind Energy Cost Modeling provides a step-by-step guide to modeling costs over four sections. These sections cover: ·Background and introductory material, ·Installation processes and vessel requirements, ·Installation cost estimation, and ·Decommissioning methods and cost estimation. This self-contained and detailed treatment of the key principles in offshore wind development is supported throughout by visual aids and data tables. Offshore Wind Energy Cost Modeling is a key resource for anyone interested in the offshore wind industry, particularly those interested in the technical and economic aspects of installation and decommissioning. The book provides a reliable point of reference for industry practitioners and policy makers developing generalizable installation or decommissioning cost estimates.

This book discusses the challenges related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. It adds valuable strategies and insights into the development of new practices solving the identified social and economic problems related to ecosystem deterioration and anticipating other disasters related to climate change. As the decarbonization of cities and communities became an issue of great interest to many researchers, the book in hands will be of great importance to decision-makers and energy stakeholders and others seeking a more resilient and sustainable future and developing innovative technologies to overcome environmental deterioration. This book is a culmination of selected research papers from the first version of the international conference on ‘Climate Chance and Environmental Sustainability’ which was held in 2021 in collaboration with Chongqing University, China.
