This book reviews key concepts and economic theories of poverty, explores the poverty-environment nexus, and presents innovative socio-economic and scientific geospatial solutions for the 21st Century. It enables readers to understand poverty through a concise examination of major theoretical frameworks and measures, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the rural-urban dichotomy. The authors highlight that existing theories and measures are imperfect, suggesting they should be viewed as convenient tools rather than infallible metrics. Consequently, the crafted solutions for poverty reduction and environmental preservation are inherently flawed. The economic solutions proposed go beyond conventional macroeconomic and policy measures, advocating for a new paradigm where the private sector and stakeholders create inclusive markets that foster shared value. Additionally, the book introduces cutting-edge geospatial solutions aimed at addressing critical global issues related to water, utilizing the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) missions to assess changes in stored water within the water-poverty-environment nexus. It also addresses pollution, agriculture, and disaster management, applying geospatial techniques within robust environmental impact assessment frameworks.
