This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vit-on réellement des changements climatiques ? Quelles en sont les causes et la nature ? Quels impacts auront-ils sur notre vie quotidienne, sur celle de nos enfants et sur l'économie planétaire ? Vivre les changements climatiques. L'effet de serre expliqué présente de façon simple, factuelle et bien structurée les causes, les effets, les enjeux et les intérêts qui s'affrontent durement au sujet de la réalité des changements climatiques. Ce livre s'adresse aux personnes de tous âges qui y trouveront - enfin ! - des explications claires et nettes sur des phénomènes que les médias ne parviennent qu'à esquisser. Il montre comment notre avenir à tous et à toutes est lié à la qualité de notre environnement planétaire et à quel point des gestes individuels en apparence anodins ont des effets catastrophiques quand des milliards de personnes les répètent. Il permet de constater que les scientifiques proposent, mais que les hommes politiques disposent... autrement ! Heureusement, au bout du compte, le citoyen peut exercer un réel pouvoir par ses choix de consommation quotidiens. La plupart des mesures qui permettront de contrer les changements climatiques et leurs conséquences appréhendées présentent des avantages pour ceux qui les mettront en œuvre. Ce livre vous invite à découvrir lesquelles. Il n'y a pas de place dans cet ouvrage pour la pensée magique, ni pour les retours nostalgiques au " bon vieux temps ". Il s'agit de préparer les esprits au défi de vivre les changements climatiques dans une société globale de l'information et sur une planète qui n'a pas de climat de rechange...

This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ocean covers 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, and is essential for life on our planet – even for those of us who live nowhere near the sea! It provides us all with food and other materials that we need, regulates our climate and provides half of the oxygen we breathe. The ocean also offers us various means of transport and opportunities for recreation. People have long thought that the ocean was so wide and bountiful that it would go on supplying our needs forever, but this is not the case: human activities are causing significant damage to life in the ocean. People are often unaware of the problems created by this heavy reliance, as few of us have the opportunity to look beneath the surface of the sea and see the damage that our actions have caused. This is where the Ocean Challenge Badge comes in: let it take you on a journey to discover the ocean! It is packed with activities to help you learn about how the ocean works, the creatures that live in it, and just how important it is in our everyday lives. You will also discover how YOU can play a role in protecting our ocean for future generations. We hope you will be inspired to take the challenge and celebrate our ocean. So dive in and begin your aquatic discoveries!

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.

Download or read book The Climate Change Convention and Developing Countries written by Joyeeta Gupta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-04-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The climate change problem can only be effectively dealt with if global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be reduced substantially. Since the emission of such gases is closely related to the economic growth of countries, a critical problem to be addressed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) is: how will the permissible emission levels be shared between industrialised (ICs) and developing countries (DCs)? The thesis of this book is that the long-term effectiveness of the FCCC runs the risk of a horizontal negotiation deadlock between countries and the risk of vertical standstill within countries if there is little domestic support for the domestic implementation of measures being announced in international negotiations. The research question is: Can one observe trends towards horizontal deadlock and vertical standstill and if yes, how can the treaty design be improved so as to avoid such potential future bottlenecks? The research focuses on the perspectives of domestic actors on the climate convention and related issues in four developing countries: India, Indonesia, Kenya and Brazil. The following key findings emerge from the research: 1. Handicapped negotiating power: The common theme of the foreign policy of DCs is that ICs are responsible for the bulk of the GHG emissions and need to take appropriate domestic action.
