Dangerous climate change is coming.
Some people still deny that it is happening. Others refuse to recognise that it is now too late to prevent it. But both these reactions spring from the same source: our pathological attachment to 'progress', of which sustainability has been one more version.
After Sustainability traces that attachment to its roots in the ways we make sense of ourselves. Original and accessible, this is philosophy on the edge, written for anyone who glimpses our environmental tragedy and cares about our future.
Does the challenge to stop pretending offer our only remaining chance? Read this book and make up your own mind.

Описание: In the face of climate change and socially responsible investment principles, the metrics for driving and managing sustainability will create major data and reporting challenges for most organisations.Water is the most precious of raw materials for industry. Its foot printing and accounting alone create challenges for science and business, with different methodologies used by different sources. Current methods of meeting this challenge appear to undermine water management, and they certainly don't help from an investment management perspective.There are potentially huge data volumes from different sources in the world, in different formats. Measures are taken at different cycles/ frequencies, and models used are likely based on different assumptions. So the data management challenge is not light, nor is it simple to recycle that data back in an intelligent manner to policymakers and to the businesses concerned with water management and water risk management. This problem is compounded by the uncertainties in the models used for climate change, and the impact that some predictions of climate change will have on water.This book will be about these issues, and will pull together work being carried out by academia and business to address the challenges, highlighting promising developments. Water, Climate Change and Sustainability will address the needs of, and trends facing, several industry sectors, with a regular reference to the finance sector

Автор: David Crowther; Shahla Seifi; Abdul Moyeen Название: The Goals of Sustainable Development ISBN: 9811050465 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789811050466 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 130430.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book presents a range of diverse chapters analysing various aspects of social responsibility, corporate responsibility, sustainability, and governance. Rather than focusing narrowly on a single perspective, it investigates a number of problems and scenarios that can all be considered an aspect of one of these fields, and shows how they are all related to each other and to the problems and issues facing businesses. This approach is based on the tradition of the Social Responsibility Research Network, which in its 15-year history has sought to broaden the discourse and to treat all research in these areas as inter-related and relevant to business. The book collects the best papers presented at the 15th International Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility and 6th Organisational Governance Conference held in Melbourne, Australia in September 2016.
Название: Policy Innovations for Transformative Change: Implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ISBN: 9290850981 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789290850984 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 60990.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals are a global commitment to "transforming our world" and eradicating poverty in all its forms everywhere. The challenge now is to put this vision into action. Policy Innovations for Transformative Change, the UNRISD 2016 Flagship Report, helps unpack the complexities of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda in a unique way: by focusing on the innovations and pathways to policy change, and analysing which policies and practices will lead to social, economic and ecological justice. Drawing on numerous policy innovations from the South, the report goes beyond buzzwords and brings to the development community a definition of transformation which can be used as a benchmark for policy making toward the 2030 Agenda, intended to "leave no one behind". Bringing together five years of UNRISD research across six areas--social policy, care policy, social and solidarity economy, eco-social policy, domestic resource mobilization, and politics and governance--the report explores what transformative change really means for societies and individuals.
Автор: Sudmeier-Rieux Название: Identifying Emerging Issues in Disaster Risk Reduction, Migration, Climate Change and Sustainable Development ISBN: 3319338781 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783319338781 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 139750.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The goal of this book is to explore disaster risk reduction (DRR), migration, climate change adaptation (CCA) and sustainable development linkages from a number of different geographical, social and natural science angles. Well-known scientists and practitioners present different perspectives regarding these inter-linkages from around the world, with theoretical discussions as well as field observations. This publication contributes in particular to the discussion on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015-2030 and the debate about how to improve DRR, including CCA, policies and practices, taking into account migration processes from a large perspective where both natural and social factors are crucial and mutually “alloyed”. Some authors see the SFDRR as a positive step forward in terms of embracing a multitude of issues, others doubting that the agreement will lead to much concrete action toward real action on the ground. This book is a timely contribution for researchers, students and policy makers in the fields of environment, human geography, migration, disaster and climate change studies who seek a more comprehensive grasp of contemporary development issues.
