Download or read book Le climat change... et la société ? written by Florence Rudolf and published by . This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les utopies nous faisaient miroiter la perspective d'un monde meilleur, mais nous en sommes réduits à veiller sur un monde qui, bien que très imparfait, se présente comme un paradis en regard des menaces qui se profilent. Nous devons prendre nos responsabilités et agir. Etats, politiques, experts, médias, organisations écologistes, citoyens et opinions publiques... Quels sont les acteurs concernés par les changements climatiques? Comment les mobiliser? Que peuvent-ils et que doivent-ils faire, chacun à leur niveau? Cet ouvrage aborde la question du changement climatique du point de vue des sciences humaines et sociales : il s'agit de comprendre comment une question de science devient une question sociale, et d'appréhender les outils dont nous disposons pour agir sur le climat. Ce livre s'adresse à chacun d'entre nous. Il n'est pas destiné aux experts, mais à tous celles et ceux qui ont à coeur le destin de la planète, des êtres vivants et de l'humanité.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'irruption de la planète dans notre vision du monde fait voler en éclat cloisons et certitudes tout en imposant sa finitude. Le territoire n'est plus le refuge d'un équilibre local mais il éclate aux dimensions du monde. Et, en même temps, l'avenir s’impose dans le présent qui ne peut plus se construire indépendamment d’une vision prospective sur notre « common futur » que les générations futures, chères au développement durable, auront à construire. C’est tout le paradoxe de cette nouvelle vision du monde condamnée à faire plus et mieux avec sobriété.

Download or read book Climate Change written by Marie-Antoinette Mélières and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-02-04 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed for first- and second-year universitystudents (and their instructors) in earth science, environmentalscience, and physical geography degree programmes worldwide. Thesummaries at the end of each section constitute essential readingfor policy makers and planners. It provides a simple but masterlyaccount, with a minimum of equations, of how the Earth’sclimate system works, of the physical processes that have givenrise to the long sequence of glacial and interglacial periods ofthe Quaternary, and that will continue to cause the climate toevolve. Its straightforward and elegant description, with anabundance of well chosen illustrations, focuses on different timescales, and includes the most recent research in climate science bythe United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC). It shows how it is human behaviour that will determinewhether or not the present century is a turning point to a newclimate, unprecedented on Earth in the last several millionyears.

Book excerpt: Deux degrés, cela semble peu, mais c’est énorme. La température terrestre a déjà augmenté d’un degré depuis l’époque préindustrielle. Les émissions de carbone liées aux activités humaines en sont les premières responsables. Des bouleversements climatiques sont en cours et leurs impacts ne vont que s’aggraver. Il est presque sûr que nous ne tiendrons pas l’objectif, solennellement acté par les gouvernements du monde, de contenir le réchauffement climatique en dessous de 2 °C. La raison de cette incapacité tient à la triple dépendance de nos sociétés (technique, économique, culturelle) aux énergies fossiles, qui en constituent un soubassement aussi diffus que puissant. La science nous annonce qu’à ce rythme le pire est à craindre. Mais cela n’induit pas une fuite individuelle. Nous devons, au contraire, faire face collectivement. Constatant l’impossibilité actuelle de changer radicalement nos modes de vie et d’organisation, ce livre nous engage néanmoins à suivre plusieurs voies réalistes d’adaptation et de réforme pour préparer un futur moins sombre.
Book Synopsis Climate and Society in Europe by : Christian Pfister
Download or read book Climate and Society in Europe written by Christian Pfister and published by Haupt Verlag. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly illustrated book on the history of climate change in Europe. Two perspectives, one unique book: two leading experts, a historian and a climatologist, co-author a new standard work on climate history. An overview of the connection between climatic and social developments over the last 1000 years. For the first time, a historian and a climatologist with knowledge of climate history have worked closely together to create a unique book, combining climate reconstructions based on documented data in their human-historical context with temporally highly resolved analyses of climate and glaciers. "Here we can clearly see how changes in climate affected the environment and people of Europe over many centuries, with important lessons for the future. A wonderfully engaging and well-documented account by two of Europe's leading climate scientists." Prof. Dr. Raymond Bradley, Director, Climate System Research Center, University of Massachusetts, Amherst (USA) "This unique book provides new fascinating insights into the interaction of past climate and society in Europe. It can be highly recommended to climatologists, historians and geoscientists, but also to students and the broad public." Prof. Dr. Rudolf Brázdil, Department of Geography, Masaryk University, Brno (Czech Republic) "The authors offer a truly interdisciplinary combination of history and science in order to explore the complex relationships of climate and society over the past millennium. They demonstrate convincingly that climate change is nothing new while at the same time revealing the character of the unprecedented climatic epoch mankind now faces." Prof. Dr. Jan de Vries, Professor Emeritus of History and Economics, University of California, Berkeley (USA) Christian Pfister is Professor Emeritus of Economic, Social and Environmental History at the University of Bern, Switzerland. He was founding president of the European Society for Environmental History (ESEH). Heinz Wanner is Professor Emeritus of Geography and Climatology. He was co-chair of the international Past Global Changes (PAGES) project and a member of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Both scientists work at the renowned Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Bern.
Book Synopsis Climate change and sustainable development by : Thomas Potthast
Download or read book Climate change and sustainable development written by Thomas Potthast and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-13 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is a major framing condition for sustainable development of agriculture and food. Global food production is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and at the same time it is among the sectors worst affected by climate change. This book brings together a multidisciplinary group of authors exploring the ethical dimensions of climate change and food. Conceptual clarifications provide a necessary basis for putting sustainable development into practice. Adaptation and mitigation demand altering both agricultural and consumption practices. Intensive vs. extensive production is reassessed with regard to animal welfare, efficiency and environmental implications. Property rights pay an ever-increasing role, as do shifting land-use practices, agro-energy, biotechnology, food policy to green consumerism. And, last but not least, tools are suggested for teaching agricultural and food ethics. Notwithstanding the plurality of ethical analyses and their outcome, it becomes apparent that governance of agri-food is faced by new needs and new approaches of bringing in the value dimension much more explicitly. This book is intended to serve as a stimulating collection that will contribute to debate and reflection on the sustainable future of agriculture and food production in the face of global change.

This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La montée des préoccupations environnementales coïncide avec la facilité d'accès à des éléments de connaissance qui sont censés favoriser une perception plus aiguë des problématiques écologiques. Or, cela ne suffit pas à générer des comportements plus responsables envers la nature et les générations à venir. Il est nécessaire de reconsidérer la question environnementale à l'heure de nouvelles médiations informationnelles pour pouvoir composer un monde commun avec une pluralité de régimes d'attention. Les analyses transdisciplinaires qui composent cet ouvrage abordent ensemble les conflits interprétatifs relatifs aux problèmes environnementaux et les environnements médiatiques, dans toute leur hétérogénéité et leur nouveauté. L'analyse de l'exposition des subjectivités individuelles et collectives aux flux informationnels permet ici de mieux comprendre ce que serait une gouvernance réflexive. Conflits des interprétations dans la société de l'information permet de répondre adéquatement à une éthique et une politique de l'environnement.

This book was released on 2023-06-09 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a deeper historical context to the interplay between the physical fortunes of climate and weather and the ways in which the Tamil society experienced it in the medieval age. It touches upon the rainfall, famines and droughts, storms and cyclones, earthquakes, floods and tsunamis, temperature and atmospheric pressure of the modern age, noticed by the Catholic and Protestant missionaries, European traders, travellers, the East India Company officials and servants using scientific instruments. Based on a greater variety of Tamil sources, missionary letters and reports, British and French colonial records, the monograph presents the reading of history through the lens of climate and provides a more complete picture of Tamil landscape and environment in South India from the ninth to the nineteenth century.

Book Synopsis Climate Change Liability and Beyond by : Jiunn-rong Yeh、Sandrine Maljean-Dubois、Yann Kerbrat等 著
Download or read book Climate Change Liability and Beyond written by Jiunn-rong Yeh、Sandrine Maljean-Dubois、Yann Kerbrat等 著 and published by 國立臺灣大學出版中心. This book was released on 2017-01-18 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change and its adverse impacts on nature and human society are clearly felt. Who should bear the responsibility? Should anyone be held liable for grave losses and damages related to climate change? In what way and to what extent can these issues be addressed in legal mechanisms both globally and locally? Will an international liability regime an ultimate solution? Are courts ready for and capable of resolving these disputes that find intricacy of law, policy and science? To shed light on these issues, this book is structured with four main themes on the discussions of climate change liability and related mechanisms. They are: 1) state liability and responsibility, 2) climate change litigation, 3) climate change liability and alternatives, and 4) dispute resolution and remedies. Reflections on the concepts of liability/responsibly/accountability have provided for nuanced understandings of their functional dynamics in climate change governance. Our findings also suggest that International and domestic courts have become a vital player in attribution or distribution of climate change liability. In addition to formalistic rights discourse and rigid liability regime, a few alternatives such as carbon market, insurance, mediation or soft law are also finding their ways to ensuring sustainability of climate change governance.

Book Synopsis Agency Without Actors? by : Jan-Hendrik Passoth
Download or read book Agency Without Actors? written by Jan-Hendrik Passoth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Agency without Actors? New Approaches to collective Action is rethinking a key issue in social theory and research: the question of agency. The history of sociological thought is deeply intertwined with the discourse of human agency as an effect of social relations. In most recent discussions the role of non-humans gains a substantial impact. Consequently the book asks: Are nonhumans active, do they have agency? And if so: how and in what different ways? The volume offers a critical state-of-the-art debate of internationally and nationally leading scholars within Sociology, Social Anthropology and STS on agency (Latour, Law, Michael, Rammert etc.). It fosters the productive exchange of empirical settings and theoretical views by outlining a wide range of novel accounts that link human and non-human agency. It tries to understand social-technical, political and environmental networks as different forms of agency that produce discrete and identifiable entities like humans, animals, technical artifacts. It also asks how different types of (often conflicting) agency and agents actors are distinguished in practice, how they are maintained and how they interfere with each other"--
Book Synopsis La justice climatique by : Sabine Lavorel
Download or read book La justice climatique written by Sabine Lavorel and published by ECLM. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canicules, mégafeux, pluies torrentielles ou crues meurtrières, il est désormais avéré que les changements climatiques ont un impact majeur sur nos conditions de vie. Ils affectent non seulement les équilibres de nos écosystèmes mais accentuent aussi les inégalités économiques et sociales à travers le monde entre les États, les communautés et les individus. Concept émergent dans les années 1990 lors des premières négociations sur le climat, la justice climatique propose une nouvelle vision de la question environnementale. Face aux effets des changements climatiques, l’approche juridique permet en effet d’appréhender avec objectivité la dette écologique des pays industrialisés et des multinationales, la responsabilité judiciaire des industries extractives, la protection des victimes et la compensation des dommages climatiques. Aujourd’hui, les recours en justice pour réparer les atteintes à l’environnement et réclamer plus d’engagements climatiques se multiplient, témoignant de la nécessité d’une action coordonnée au niveau international et européen. C’est dans ce contexte que se déploie la justice climatique, devenue une dynamique porteuse d’espoir à l’avenir prometteur.
Book Synopsis Integrating Climate Change Actions into Local Development by : Livia Bizikova
Download or read book Integrating Climate Change Actions into Local Development written by Livia Bizikova and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, climate change adaptation and mitigation have been treated separately both in research and in the climate negotiations. However, a growing body of literature is now being developed that points to actual and potential synergies and trade-offs between responses to climate change and sustainability. This literature has evolved in a spontaneous way with diverse approaches and no common methodology to help practitioners explicitly plan for these synergies. This special issue of the Climate Policy journal addresses this gap between scientific knowledge and practitioners' needs by focussing on linkages between climate change and sustainable development at the level of conceptual framework and methods. In particular, the papers address in an integrated way local development options involving both adaptation and mitigation in order to promote resilience to climate change in human and natural systems. The special issue provides policy and methodological guidelines for linking local deveopment pathways with responses to climate change, based on collaboration between local practitioners, the public and scientists.
