Book excerpt: Il n'est guère de jours où le climat ne fasse la " une " d'un média. Pour certains, journalistes ou scientifiques, le changement climatique est là et l'homme en est responsable. Pour d'autres, s'il s'amorce..., l'homme n'y est pour rien ! Nous présenterons les éléments scientifiques de ce dossier mais aussi la manière dont ils ont conduit à ce débat de société. Comme la plupart des climatologues, nous montrerons que les activités humaines accentuent les concentrations des gaz à effet de serre, étape d'une inéluctable élévation de la température moyenne du globe qui modifiera les climats. Par un langage simple, grâce à une perspective historique et à la prise en considération des aspects humains, Le changement climatique explique et démystifie le climat et son évolution actuelle. Avant de découvrir le contexte du changement climatique actuel, nous prendrons de la hauteur en nous penchant sur les rapports entre l'homme et le climat dans différentes cultures. Puis le lecteur se familiarisera avec le fonctionnement de la machine climatique, exercice indispensable pour comprendre les éléments susceptibles de la modifier. Les changements climatiques qu'a connus le Sahara entraîneront alors le lecteur dans une saga débutant il y a des centaines de millions d'années pour s'achever... demain, thème du chapitre suivant qui évoquera les scénarios d'évolution les plus probables. L'étude des polémiques autour du changement climatique nous conduira à décrire les enjeux du " protocole " de Kyoto de 1997, dans ses aspects scientifiques, économiques et politiques intimement liés.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage propose une étude approfondie des processus physiques fondamentaux à l'origine ce que l'on appelle désormais le « réchauffement climatique ». Il offre un aperçu précis du climat et de ses impacts en Europe au cours des 20e et 21e siècles et expose l'ensemble des bases physiques nécessaires pour comprendre pourquoi et comment le climat change, et dans quelle mesure le réchauffement rapide des prochaines décennies modifiera non seulement notre environnement naturel mais aussi la plupart des activités économiques continentales. Les premiers chapitres, accessibles à un large public, exposent les principes scientifiques généraux à l'origine de ce phénomène La suite de l'ouvrage examine plus spécifiquement le cas des Alpes qui se caractérisent par une topographie complexe, où les processus climatiques sont généralement amplifiés. L'abondance des données environnementales et socio-économiques font du domaine alpin un lieu d'étude privilégié pour analyser les changements et impacts climatiques récents et pour valider les modèles de simulation capables de donner un aperçu de notre futur climatique. Cet ouvrage de référence, rédigé par un expert mondial du domaine, s'adresse principalement aux professeurs, chercheurs, étudiants et praticiens impliqués dans les solutions technologiques, économiques et politiques de la question climatique, mais aussi à un plus large public intéresse par cette problématique.

Download or read book Sustainable Tourism VII written by F.D. Pineda and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Tourism VII contains papers presented at the seventh in a series of meetings on the topic organised by the Wessex Institute. The papers included in the book address problems, including social costs and ecological impacts that have arisen as tourism has become an important component of development. Many ancient local cultures have practically lost their identity as their economies have become solely oriented to the tourism industry. Both the natural and cultural – rural or urban – landscapes have also paid a high price for certain forms of tourism. These problems will persist to the point of being ruinous if economic benefit is the only target. It is also a grave error to disregard the increasing cultural and environmental standards that visitors demand nowadays. Natural ecosystems are now a rarity on the planet and ecologists talk today about ‘socio-ecosystems’. Natural changes are inherent in the Earth’s ecosystem. Technological and social changes are inherent to mankind, and are now becoming widespread. Cities are growing rapidly and industry requires increasingly larger areas. Many traditional rural areas are being abandoned. Tourism should play an important role in this context. Thus, interestingly, many historic agricultural districts have maintained, or even recovered, their local population numbers through intelligent strategies of tourism focused on nature and rural culture. Natural landscapes and biodiversity are becoming increasingly appreciated. The tourism industry must be able to respond to these aspirations. The papers in the book present new solutions to protect the natural and cultural landscape by minimizing the adverse effects of tourism. Topics addressed include: Tourism strategies; Environmental issues; Community issues; Climate change; Safety and security; Tourism as a tool of development; Cultural tourism; Heritage tourism; Wildlife and adventure tourism; Health and wellbeing tourism; Medical tourism; Marine and coastal areas tourism; Sport tourism; City tourism; Tourism impact; Tourism and protected areas; Ecotourism; Rural tourism; Industrial tourism; Tourism and technology; Transport and tourism; Education and tourism; Theme parks and leisure; Destination management; Planning and development; eTourism; Simulation models; Social and physical infrastructure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S'adapter au changement climatique comme au changement global est devenu un objectif vital pour toutes les sociétés. S'adapter au changement climatique comme au changement global est devenu un objectif vital pour toutes les sociétés. Parfois confrontées de façon brutale à l'exacerbation, en fréquences et en intensité, de phénomènes météorologiques tels qu'inondations, sécheresses ou tornades, elles doivent aussi faire face à l'augmentation des températures et à leurs impacts sur l'équilibre des écosystèmes, l'évolution des espèces, animales et végétales, comme sur le développement des populations humaines, leur condition de vie, leur organisation sociale... Si l'étude des variations du climat au cours du temps montre la capacité des écosystèmes à s'adapter ou à se transformer, l'accélération de certains phénomènes, comme l'augmentation planétaire de la température due aux activités humaines, peut conduire à un point de non-retour. Cet ouvrage, composé d'une cinquantaine d'articles écrits par des scientifiques et experts du sujet, est unique. Il suscite une réflexion sur ce qu'est l'adaptation, et la maladaptation, faisant intervenir plusieurs champs disciplinaires, sectoriels et territoriaux. Tout en montrant les freins et les limites, il témoigne et propose des façons d'agir et de s'adapter. Cet ouvrage est le résultat d'un partenariat entre le CNRS et le Comité 21.

Book excerpt: The mobilisation centred on the 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP 21) is an opportunity to highlight the vulnerability of environments and populations in the South in the face of climate warming. Some tropical regions are already suffering from its effects, with heat waves in the Sahel, disturbances to monsoon systems, the melting of the Andean glaciers, threats to biodiversity, a rise in sea level and other features. Research conducted by IRD and its partners provides key knowledge for better understanding of the complexity of these phenomena. This book is a synthesis in three parts: observing and understanding climate change, analysing its main impacts on environments and setting societies and national public policies at the heart of the climate challenge. Focused on the capacity for resilience of populations and ecosystems in the face of trends in the climate, the book explores solutions that reconcile mitigation and adaptation in response to climate change, conservation of the environment and a reduction of inequalities. The work is both well documented and explanatory, reviewing operations and the results of research that is firmly involved and interdisciplinary, closely associating partners in the North and the South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, resilience theory has come to occupy the core of our understanding and management of the adaptive capacity of people and places in complex social and environmental systems. Despite this, tourism scholars have been slow to adopt resilience concepts, at a time when the emergence of new frameworks and applications is pressing. Drawing on original empirical and theoretical insights in resilience thinking, this book explores how tourism communities and economies respond to environmental changes, both fast (natural hazard disasters) and slow (incremental shifts). It explores how tourism places adapt, change, and sometimes transform (or not) in relation to their environmental context, with an awareness of intersection with societal dynamics and links to political, economic and social drivers of change. Contributions draw on empirical research conducted in a range of international settings, including indigenous communities, to explore the complexity and gradations of environmental change encounters and resilience planning responses in a range of tourism contexts. As the first book to specifically focus on environmental change from a resilience perspective, this timely and original work makes a critical contribution to tourism studies, tourism management and environmental geography, as well as environmental sciences and development studies.
