Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le changement climatique est devenu un sujet de politique internationale, dont les enjeux dépassent largement la seule question écologique pour englober l’ensemble des équilibres mondiaux, et notamment les rapports Nord-Sud. Cet ouvrage, solidement référencé et engagé, examine la dimension géopolitique du réchauffement global. Quels sont les pays responsables ou réputés tels ? quels sont ceux qui en subiront l’impact le plus fortement ? Quels sont les déplacements de populations engagés ou à prévoir ? Les risques pour la sécurité internationale ? Avant la conférence cruciale de Paris, cet ouvrage est donc indispensable pour comprendre les enjeux de la négociation et les nouvelles modalités de la coopération internationale sur le sujet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le changement climatique est aujourd'hui un enjeu diplomatique majeur, comme en attestent le retrait des Etats-Unis de l’Accord de Paris puis leur retour, le rapprochement entre la Chine et l’Union européenne sur cette question, ou encore l’isolement du Brésil lors des feux qui ont ravagé l’Amazonie. Dans la plupart de pays industrialisés, le climat est entré de plain-pied en démocratie à la faveur des mobilisations de jeunes emmenés par Greta Thunberg, et fait l’objet d’âpres débats politiques. Sujet de préoccupation croissante des citoyens, il est aussi devenu un enjeu électoral... Enfin, les impacts humains du changement climatique, comme les migrations ou les conflits, se sont considérablement amplifiés ces dernières années. Cet ouvrage, qui intervient à la veille de l'important sommet de l’ONU sur le climat (la COP26 à Glasgow), vient refléter ces différentes évolutions, et examiner la manière dont l’enjeu climatique redessine les relations internationales, et s’impose comme une matrice des grands choix collectifs du XXIe siècle.

Download or read book Philosophy in a Time of Terror written by Giovanna Borradori and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.
Download or read book MEGA CRISES written by Ira Helsloot and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in turbulent times with continents and nations facing ever-heightening risks such as natural disasters, intense and protracted conflicts, terrorism, corporate crises, cyber threats to infrastructures and mega-events. We are witnessing the rise of mega-crises and a new class of adversity with many unknowns. The prospect of mega-crises presents professionals and students in the field of crisis management with four major tasks. First, they should engage in “deep thinking” about the causes of the increasing occurrence of mega-crises. Second, they should identify and work through the dominant trends which complicate contemporary crisis management. Third, they should upgrade institutional crisis management capacity. Fourth, they should improve societal resilience since no institutional complex can mitigate or manage these mega-crisis on its own. This book is divided into four primary parts, each of which looks at one facet of mega-crises. Part I focuses on the concept of a mega-crisis and mega-crisis management; Part II examines crisis management of mega-natural disasters; Part III evaluates crisis management of man-made mega-crises; and Part IV identifies mega-threats and vulnerabilities. Additional major topics include Hurricane Katrina; Hurricane Gustav; the London Bombings; the Mumbai Terrorist Attacks of July 7, 2005; corporate meltdowns; the subprime crisis; the Olympic Games; electricity grids; global climate change; the Dutch Delta; risks to food security; and mega-crises and the Internet. This comprehensive text will provide practitioners and academics with the results of an across-the-board research effort in the prospects, nature, characteristics, and the effects of mega-crises.

Vadnagar was once the capital of Gujarat. Its old name was Anartpur. There lived two famous musician sisters – Tana and Riri here and they were contemporary of Akbar. It is believed that when Tansen sang the ‘Deepak raga’; his entire body started to burn; and an individual was required who could sing the Malhar raga. The emperor sent his troops to Vadnagar; but the two sisters communicated back that they did not sing in anybody’s court. This is the attitude that my village possess. I have inherited this attitude. Tana and Riri refused to go there to sing; and it is said that Tansen himself had to come to Vadnagar.I come from Vadnagar in Mahesana district.

Download or read book Cities and Climate Change written by Harriet Bulkeley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is one of the most significant global challenges facing the world today. It is also a critical issue for the world’s cities. Now home to over half the world’s population, urban areas are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions and are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Responding to climate change is a profound challenge. A variety of actors are involved in urban climate governance, with municipal governments, international organisations, and funding bodies pointing to cities as key arenas for response. This book provides the first critical introduction to these challenges, giving an overview of the science and policy of climate change at the global level and the emergence of climate change as an urban policy issue. It considers the challenges of governing climate change in the city in the context of the changing nature of urban politics, economics, society and infrastructures. It looks at how responses for mitigation and adaptation have emerged within the city, and the implications of climate change for social and environmental justice. Drawing on examples from cities in the north and south, and richly illustrated with detailed case-studies, this book will enable students to understand the potential and limits of addressing climate change at the urban level and to explore the consequences for our future cities. It will be essential reading for undergraduate students across the disciplines of geography, politics, sociology, urban studies, planning and science and technology studies.

Download or read book Climate Change and Society written by John Urry and published by Polity. This book was released on 2011-06-20 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the significance of human behaviour to understanding the causes and impacts of changing climates and to assessing varied ways of responding to such changes. So far the discipline that has represented and modelled such human behaviour is economics. By contrast Climate Change and Society tries to place the ‘social’ at the heart of both the analysis of climates and of the assessment of alternative futures. It demonstrates the importance of social practices organised into systems. In the fateful twentieth century various interlocking high carbon systems were established. This sedimented high carbon social practices, engendering huge population growth, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and the potentially declining availability of oil that made this world go round. Especially important in stabilising this pattern was the ‘carbon military-industrial complex’ around the world. The book goes on to examine how in this new century it is systems that have to change, to move from growing high carbon systems to those that are low carbon. Many suggestions are made as to how to innovate such low carbon systems. It is shown that such a transition has to happen fast so as to create positive feedbacks of each low carbon system upon each other. Various scenarios are elaborated of differing futures for the middle of this century, futures that all contain significant costs for the scale, extent and richness of social life. Climate Change and Society thus attempts to replace economics with sociology as the dominant discipline in climate change analysis. Sociology has spent much time examining the nature of modern societies, of modernity, but mostly failed to analyse the carbon resource base of such societies. This book seeks to remedy that failing. It should appeal to teachers and students in sociology, economics, environmental studies, geography, planning, politics and science studies, as well as to the public concerned with the long term future of carbon and society.
