"The idea of "the environment" was a planet-changing idea, making the planet visible in a wholly new way. The Environment: A History tells the story of the emergence of this idea. It is an intellectual and scientific history of the idea of the environment as a centripetal force in historical debates about climate change and the fate of the planet. According to the authors, our contemporary notion of the environment as a planet-wide web of interconnection and consequence of which the natural world is a part was forged by post-World War scientific experts. This book is about the imagination, the history, and the creativity of these experts, as well as their technical and diplomatic skills, and how well ordinary people have understood these and contributed to framing environmental concerns. The environment provided a concept that linked changes close to home to world-wide pressures. And in creating an object of imagination and measurement, it allowed new kinds of questions about nature and human responsibilities to be asked. Is the world sick? Is the Environment getting worse or better? In addition to creating a particular way of looking at our world it also created a movement and various kinds of knowledge and expertise"--

The interactions between environmental change and human societies have a long, complex history spanning many millennia, but these have changed fundamentally in the last century. Human activities are now so pervasive and profound that they are altering the Earth in ways which threaten the very life support system upon which humans depend. This book describes what is known about the Earth System and the impact of changes caused by humans. It considers the consequences of these changes with respect to the stability of the Earth System and the well-being of humankind; as well as exploring future paths towards Earth System science in support of global sustainability.

[1995] Les arbres ont-ils le droit de plaider en justice ? Peut-on breveter les cellules d'un individu ? La couche d'ozone peut-elle être cotée en Bourse ? Ces questions apparemment surréalistes sont aujourd'hui au coeur des problèmes qui se posent au droit de l'environnement. Pour François Ost, on ne peut se satisfaire d'un débat technique entre juristes pour résoudre ces controverses. La crise écologique met en jeu toutes nos représentations de l'homme et de la nature. L'auteur renvoie dos à dos les thèses de l'humanisme abstrait à la façon de Luc Ferry, qui ne se donne pas les moyens de penser la complexité des rapports homme-nature, et celles de l'« écologie profonde », qui se coupe de toute possibilité d'agir rationnellement en sacralisant la nature. Il dénonce également les illusions de la régulation marchande de l'environnement et examine les questions de justice écologique à la lumière de la tradition philosophique, de Kant à Rawls et Hans Jonas. Au-delà de la nature-objet manipulable à volonté et de la nature-objet intouchable et sacrée, il plaide pour une nature-projet qui inscrit l'homme dans la complexité des interactions avec son milieu et définit une éthique de la responsabilité soucieuse de notre avenir commun. Au carrefour de la philosophie, de l'écologie et du droit, ce livre informé et engagé propose de nouveaux fondements pour une politique publique de l'environnement.
