Governments have failed to stem global emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases causing climate change. Indeed, climate-changing pollution is increasing globally, and will do so for decades to come without far more aggressive action. What explains this failure to effectively tackle one of the world's most serious problems? And what can we do about it? To answer these questions, Paul G. Harris looks at climate politics as a doctor might look at a very sick patient. He performs urgent diagnoses and prescribes vital treatments to revive our ailing planet before it's too late. The book begins by diagnosing what's most wrong with climate politics, including the anachronistic international system, which encourages nations to fight for their narrowly perceived interests and makes major cuts in greenhouse pollution extraordinarily difficult; the deadlock between the United States and China, which together produce over one-third of global greenhouse gas pollution but do little more than demand that the other act first; and affluent lifestyles and overconsumption, which are spreading rapidly from industrialized nations to the developing world.The book then prescribes several "remedies" for the failed politics of climate change, including a new kind of climate diplomacy with people at its center, national policies that put the common but differentiated responsibilities of individuals alongside those of nations, and a campaign for simultaneously enhancing human wellbeing and environmental sustainability. While these treatments are aspirational, they are not intended to be utopian. As Harris shows, they are genuine, workable solutions to what ails the politics of climate change today.

The practical application of strategic environmental assessment - the environmental assessment of policies, plans and programs - is becoming increasingly common. Whilst few countries have formal SEA regulations yet, a number of them have now issued guidance on how SEAs should be carried out, and a growing number of ad hoc assessments are being undertaken around the world. This book shows how SEA has been implemented over the last few years. Using detailed international case studies, it shows how best practice can be achieved, and how to most effectively carry out the various elements of SEAs. The first part of the book sets the context, with an international review of SEA regulations and guidance, and a discussion of SEA models and methodologies. Part two comprises case studies from those countries which have considerable experience, or particularly good examples of successful SEA. The case studies illustrate different scales and approaches to SEA, and are organised into four sections: sectoral SEAs; SEAs of landuse plans and policy SEA. The book closes with a discussion of the issues identified in the case-studies as being constraints to an effective SEA process, and of the positive learning points on how SEA can contribute to the increased effectiveness of environmental assessment. Clearly written by an international team of SEA practitioners and experts, this unique selection of case studies will be particularly suitable for anyone commissioning, carrying out or reviewing SEAs, as well as students of environmental assessment and management.

Now in a revised edition with a new afterword, Jared Diamond's Collapse uncovers the secret behind why some societies flourish, while others founder - and what this means for our future.What happened to the people who made the forlorn long-abandoned statues of Easter Island?What happened to the architects of the crumbling Maya pyramids?Will we go the same way, our skyscrapers one day standing derelict and overgrown like the temples at Angkor Wat?Bringing together new evidence from a startling range of sources and piecing together the myriad influences, from climate to culture, that make societies self-destruct, Jared Diamond's Collapse also shows how - unlike our ancestors - we can benefit from our knowledge of the past and learn to be survivors.
