Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Danger planétaire, la diminution de la calotte glacière n'émeut pourtant pas les chefs d'Etats. Les Russes y ayant planté un drapeau en 2007 pour imposer un acte de souveraineté, déclenchent une réaction sans précédent des Etats riverains qui cherchent alors à étendre leur propriété terrestre. L'Arctique se trouve ainsi dans une position paradoxale face au réchauffement climatique. Ailleurs, les effets de ce phénomène sont dénoncés et craints. Ici, les Etats riverains attendent avec impatience d'exploiter les ressources d'un océan dont le plateau continental est immense.
Download or read book The Ocean Challenge Badge written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. 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!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La disparition rapide de la banquise estivale dans l’Arctique laisse entrevoir la possibilité de sa dislocation à terme et de passages maritimes libres de glace sur des périodes de plusieurs mois. Le déclin de la banquise nous permettra-t-il d’exploiter des ressources naturelles – minerais, hydrocarbures – que certains évoquent comme un nouvel eldorado ? Les médias rapportent régulièrement les jeux de pouvoir qui se dessinent dans l’Arctique actuellement. Certains parlent même d’une « bataille pour l’Arctique », d’une nouvelle « guerre froide » pour les ressources de la région, voire d’une possible guerre entre pays riverains de l’océan Arctique pour le partage de ses richesses. De tels scénarios catastrophes sont-ils crédibles compte tenu des enjeux dans cette région ? Devant l’ampleur des changements climatiques que connaît l’Arctique, les rivalités qui se dessinent sur les plateaux continentaux et les passages arctiques pourront-elles se résoudre grâce à une coopération qui se dessine déjà ?

Download or read book Arctic Shipping written by Frédéric Lasserre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers both the present state of Arctic shipping and possible future trends with reference to the various sectors of maritime transportation: cruise tourism, container traffic and bulk shipping. Ports are analysed as tools that support the strategies of coastal states to foster the development of resource extraction, enhance the attractiveness of Arctic shipping lanes and enable the control of maritime activities through coast guard deployment. The aim of this book is to draw a picture of the trends of Arctic shipping. How is traffic evolving in Canada’s Arctic, or along the Northern Sea Route? Are there significant differences between bulk and container shipping segments when considering the Arctic market? How are the ports and the hinterland developing and what are the strategies behind those? How is the legal framework shaping the evolution of maritime transportation? The contributors to this book consider all of these questions, and more, as they map out the prospects for Arctic shipping and analyse in detail the development of Arctic shipping as a result of multi-variable interactions. This book will be key reading for industry professionals and post-graduate students alike.

Download or read book The New Arctic written by Birgitta Evengård and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 18th century explorers and scientists started venturing into the Arctic in a heroic and sometimes deadly effort to understand and unveil the secrets of the unforgiving and mysterious polar region of the high north. Despite that the Arctic was already populated mattered less for the first wave of polar researchers and explorations who nevertheless, brought back valuable knowledge. Today the focus in Arctic science and discourse has changed to one which includes the peoples and societies, and their interaction with the world beyond. The image of a static Arctic - heralded first by explorers - prevailed for a long time, but today the eyes of the World see the Arctic very differently. Few, if any, other places on Earth are currently experiencing the kind of dramatic change witnessed in the Arctic. According to model forecasts, these changes are likely to have profound implications on biophysical and human systems, and will accelerate in the decades to come. “The New Arctic” highlights how, and in what parts, the natural and political system is being transformed. We’re talking about a region where demography, culture, and political and economic systems are increasingly diverse, although many common interests and aspects remain; and with the new Arctic now firmly placed in a global context. Settlements range from small, predominantly indigenous communities, to large industrial cities, and all have a link to the surrounding environment, be it glaciers or vegetation or the ocean itself. “The New Arctic” contributes to our further understanding of the changing Arctic. It offers a range of perspectives, which reflect the deep insight of a variety of scientific scholars across many disciplines bringing a wide range of expertise. The book speaks to a broad audience, including policy-makers, students and scientific colleagues.

Andrew Brooks shows how recycled clothes are traded across continents, uncovers how retailers and international charities are embroiled in commodity chains which perpetuate poverty, and exposes the hidden trade networks which transect the globe.
