“…The global threat surrounding the loss of natural resources including fisheries, lakes, oceans, biodiversity and the vividly lingering impacts of climate change has led to a drastic shift toward the sustainability paradigm. In recent years, the sustainability discourse has been widely associated with environmental management (Kreisel 2018) although the concept generally alludes to maintaining resources at a certain quantity or level for intergenerational equity. The United Nations defines sustainability as the ability to meet "fundamental human needs while preserving the life-support systems of planet Earth as the essence of sustainable development, an idea that emerged in the early 1980s from scientific perspectives on the relation between nature and society" (Kates et al 2001, 641).…”

Ghana's export trends between 2012 and 2017 Gold Crude petroleum Cocoa beans Refined petroleum Coconuts Brazil nuts and cashew nuts stress on social infrastructure (Eduful and Hooper 2015). To the coastal communities in the Western Region, these challenges are an everyday reminder of their disenfranchisement from oil wealth (Osei-Tutu 2012). Livelihoods of women in Ghana"s coastal communities represent a category of the different micro-economic levels of deprivation from oil benefits (Chalfin 2018). The impetus for this study is to build on existing scholarship on oil and gas in Ghana. Many of these tend to focus on explaining different dimensions of the resource curse (e.g., Siakwah 2017; Debra and Graham 2015; Graham et al. 2016; Obeng-Odoom 2013). At this point, only a few studies have attempted to examine the gender disparities embedded in the oil-livelihoods nexus in Ghana (Adusah-Karikari 2015; Overå 2017; Boohene and Peprah 2011). According to Boohene and Peprah (2011), coastal women"s livelihoods are dependent on the ocean and are increasingly becoming vulnerable to diminishing ocean space and fish stocks which is attributed to oil extraction. Adusah-Karikari (2015) adds that while women"s spaces for generating livelihoods are diminishing, women are left without the benefit of alternative options. The thesis builds upon such studies. 1.2. Research Problem, Aims and Objectives This research focuses on Ghana"s Western Coastal Region. The Western Region is endowed with a vast amount of natural resources in comparison to the rest of the country. The region is the largest producer of cocoa, rubber, coconut and palm oil. Agriculture, therefore, accounts for 58.1% of employment in western Ghana (Boohene and Peprah 2011). The region also has rich forest resources, the largest concentration of gold mines in the country, and the only active bauxite and manganese mines of Ghana. For decades, the region has greatly contributed to the country"s national prosperity through revenues generated from natural resource extraction. It

This collection of essays turns to the nineteenth century in order to weigh the legacy of its holistic conception of systems and to resurrect alternative discourses of openness, permeability, and indeterminate relation. If modern ecocriticism has sometimes been hobbled by a restrictively organic, harmonious conception of how ecologies work, we wager that a return to Victorian interrogations of natural and social collectives can furnish more open, less integrated models for how assemblages operate. The nineteenth century saw both the first acceleration of anthropogenic climate change and the birth of a host of sciences-economic, social, geological, energetic, and (yes) ecological-that now struggle to address the planetary implications of that acceleration. Our growing awareness that we are now living in the long tail of this conjuncture and at the birth of the Anthropocene has prompted a re-evaluation of what we think we know about how nature and society work, and how they might work together.

هدف البحث إلى استخدام معايير محاسبة الاستدامة لتعزيز جودة الإفصاح البيئي للقطاع الصحي المتمثل بدائرة صحة نينوى، من خلال تضمين المعلومات غير المالية ذات العلاقة بالأداء البيئي للدائرة في تقارير استدامة بيئية لتكون مكملة للمعلومات البيئية المالية التي تنتجها هذه الدائرة. عن طريق استخدام المقاييس المحاسبية ونماذج التقارير التي تنظمها هذه المعايير. ويعد الإفصاح البيئي الذي تقدمه الدائرة افصاحاً ناقصاً لعدم تضمين المعلومات غير المالية في القوائم والتقارير الدورية، ولتحقيق هدف البحث تم استعراض مفاهيم الإفصاح البيئي والاستدامة والمحاسبة عنها في ضوء معاييرها الدولية الصادرة عن ((SASB وبيان دورها في تنظيم عمليات الإفصاح عن معلومات الأداء البيئي من خلال إعداد تقارير الاستدامة البيئية الأربعة والتي تعد الأساس في هذا الجانب وهي (ادارة الطاقة وادارة المياه وادارة المخلفات واصابات العاملين) وتوصل البحث إلى أن قطاعات الاعمال والخدمات، ومنها دائرة صحة نينوى، عادةً ما تواجه مشاكل عند الإفصاح عن أدائها البيئي وايصال المعلومات إلى أصحاب المصلحة واهمها عدم تضمين المعلومات غير المالية في القوائم والتقارير الدورية، وإن معايير ((SASB ساهمت بشكل كبير في مساعدة تلك القطاعات في مواجهة أهم التحديات لتوفير المعلومات الملائمة لإصحاب المصالح وتحديد أبعاد الأداء المستدام واسلوب القياس والإفصاح المحاسبي عنها.
