Climate change is the most serious issue of our generation. It will likely bring sea-level rise displacing millions, lead to the loss of thousands of species, reduce food production and create geopolitical tensions - all by the end of this century. The fact that human-caused climate change is happening is now beyond dispute in the scientific community, yet despite the awful consequences, many people are apathetic.
Low-Carbon and Loving It is an ordinary person's, easy-to-read guide to climate change. The book is divided into two sections. The problem of climate change includes sections on the causes of climate change, its consequences and reasons why we've done so little up to now. Then the solutions, looks at both 'big-picture' and 'small-picture' solutions, including concrete ways for the reader to lead a lower-carbon life.
The images, cartoons, 'Science Geek' and 'Myth-busting' boxes make Low-Carbon and Loving It an enjoyable read. The book gives readers an excellent understanding of climate change and empowers them to start making a personal response.
However, Low-carbon and Loving It is also the story of the Delaneys, an ordinary Australian family who have made some extraordinary choices. Mark and his wife have lived much of their working lives in the slums of India, befriending neighbours who struggle to survive day to day. The Delaneys have continued this lifestyle of voluntary simplicity for two decades. Their experience has given them a very different perspective on life.
It is these unique perspectives which allow father Mark, and co-author son Tom, to see afresh the climate crisis to which many in the West are blind. From their lives, they know a lower-carbon life is possible and even fulfilling, not only in India, but also in middle class Australia.
Название: Low carbon mobility transitions ISBN: 191015864X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781910158647 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 147840.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: A thorough examination of how methods of low-carbon transport can be implemented using international case studies, with contributions from recognised industry experts, academics and policy makers.
This book is for people who understand that carbon emissions are driving the dangerous phenomenon of global warming, and who wish to do their part in mitigating this risk by lowering the carbon footprint of their investments - without sacrificing investment performance.
The most important new trend in investing today goes by the acronym E-S-G, which involves evaluating a company's investment potential by scrutinizing its Environmental, Social and Governance practices.
Within ESG strategies, analysts have developed tools for measuring the "carbon footprint" of companies and funds. Morningstar, Inc. just launched a Carbon-Risk assessment tool that measures how vulnerable a company or fund is to the inevitable transition from a fossil-fuel based economy to a lower-carbon economy.
There is a looming problem: As so often happens, ESG has been manipulated by some financial firms to camouflage a continued reliance on fossil fuel company investments, in a process known as "Green Washing." This book will help investors make sure the high performance funds included in their portfolios use an ESG process that emphasizes fossil fuel divestment and carbon footprint reduction
But finding low-carbon, high performance funds is not the end of the investment process. The next challenge is building a portfolio: selecting a strategically diversified group of six to twelve funds that together match the unique risk tolerance and goals of each investor.
To help investors navigate the financial services industry, Patrick also explains:
The attributes of different kinds of investment vehicles
How to build diversified, risk-calibrated investment portfolios
How to bypass financial propaganda and stay focused on long term investment goals
The differences in expertise and accountability offered by various types of financial professionals
How to avoid hidden fees and unnecessary investment limitations

According to her son, Eleanor Roosevelt said the same prayer every night and closed with this wish: "save us from ourselves and show us a vision of a world made new". This prayer reminds us that in the midst of managing crisis we must also keep one eye on the better future we want to create.
COVID-19 is a public health emergency and economic crisis of unparalleled scale. Lives are cut short prematurely, the dreams of small business owners hang in the balance, and unemployment rises to levels unseen in a century or more. It is natural that we want this nightmare to end and that we yearn for a return to normal. But normal wasn't working. The economy of December 2019 created wealth for a privileged few while leaving millions to suffer from chronic hunger. Long before the acute shock of coronavirus we were charging headlong into climate crisis.
In "A World Made New" Dr Edward Cameron asks us to resist the temptation to re-establish a pattern of environmental destruction, social injustice and economic inequality and instead "reinvent" - turn this moment of crisis into an opportunity to build a 21st century economy and society - one that is low-carbon, resilient and inclusive. He offers design principles and practical recommendations to shape the unprecedented rescue packages that will inject tens of trillions of dollars into the economy over the coming 24 months.
This book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the full impact of COVID and is yearning for ideas on how to build a world made new.
