"An incredible wealth of scientific data on global warming has been collected in the last few decades. The history of the Earth's climate has been probed by drilling into polar ice sheets and sediment layers of the oceans' vast depths, and great advances have been made in computer modeling of our climate. This book provides a concise and accessible overview of what we know about ongoing climate change and its impacts, and what we can do to confront the climate crisis. Using clear and simple graphics in full color, it lucidly highlights information contained in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, and brings the subject completely up-to-date with current science and policy. The book makes essential scientific information on this critical topic accessible to a broad audience. Obtaining sound information is the first step in preventing a serious, long-lasting degradation of our planet's climate, helping to ensure our future survival" "This book provides a concise and accessible overview of what we know about ongoing climate change and its impacts, and what we can do to confront the climate crisis. It gives a readable account of the treasure trove of information contained in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, and also brings the subject completely up-to-date with current science and policy"

In the 20th century, cheap and abundant energy brought previously unimaginable advances in health, wealth, and technology, and fed an explosion in population and consumption. But this growth came at an incredible cost. Climate change, peak oil, freshwater depletion, species extinction, and a host of economic and social problems now challenge us as never before. The Post Carbon Reader features articles by some of the world's most provocative thinkers on the key drivers shaping this new century, from renewable energy and urban agriculture to social justice and systems resilience. This unprecedented collection takes a hard-nosed look at the interconnected threats of our global sustainability quandary--as well as the most promising responses. The Post Carbon Reader is a valuable resource for policymakers, college classrooms, and concerned citizens.

Alors que se profile la perspective d’un doublement des émissions de gaz à effet de serre à l’échelle mondiale d’ici 2050, ce livre explore des solutions réalisables pour  réduire celles-ci à moindre coût. Par le biais de l’analyse quantitative, il aborde des questions cruciales pour la politique climatique : ·         Quelle combinaison d’instruments nécessaires à la politique climatique  permettrait d’obtenir les meilleurs résultats ? ·         Quelle est l’ampleur des coûts économiques et environnementaux d’une mise en application  des politiques d’atténuation du changement climatique qui ne couvre pas l’ensemble des pays et des secteurs ? Quels sont les avantages et les inconvénients d’outils politiques destinés à étendre cette mise en œuvre tels que les accords sectoriels internationaux ou les tarifs d’ajustement à la frontière ? Quels sont les défis  posés par l’intégration d’un mécanisme destiné à réduire les émissions résultant de la déforestation et de la détérioration des forêts ? ·         De quelle manière pouvons-nous concrètement développer un marché du carbone à l’échelle mondiale ? ·         Quels sont les arguments en faveur des politiques de soutien à la R-D et à la technologie et que peut-on raisonnablement attendre de celles-ci ? ·         Pour les grands pays émetteurs, quelle est l’importance des incitations à prendre part à un accord d'atténuation du changement climatique, compte tenu des coûts et avantages liés à une telle action, y compris les avantages connexes résultant d’une pollution réduite de l’air ambiant et d’une sécurité énergétique renforcée ? Comment ces incitations peuvent-elles être améliorées ? De quelle façon les transferts internationaux de ressources et de technologies peuvent ils apporter un soutien accru à l’action ?

Mitigation is necessary, but will not be sufficient for us to avoid climate change – given existing emission levels, we will also need to adapt to the consequences of climate change. “Developing Adaptation Policy and Practice in Europe: Multi-level Governance of Climate Change” targets the development of adaptation policy in European countries with different relations between central, regional and local government, asking how adaptation policy at different levels has emerged. Proceeding from a multi-level governance perspective, the book includes a theoretical framework on adaptation. Chapters describe the EU context for adaptation, the UK, Finnish, Swedish and Italian multi-level cases of adaptation in relation to water, and a survey of adaptation in additional industrialised EU and non-EU countries (among which Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Canada and Australia). The book concludes by discussing the development of adaptation policy in the cases. It also shows that the different paths for adaptation policy chosen in different cases can be related to administrative culture including centrality of government and the role of local and regional actors including networks.
