Abstract

La rencontre entre un auteur majeur de la bande dessinée et un éminent spécialiste des questions énergétiques et de l'impact sur le climat a abouti à ce projet, comme une évidence, une nécessité de témoigner sur des sujets qui nous concernent tous. Intelligent, limpide, non dénué d'humour, cet ouvrage explique sous forme de chapitres les changements profonds que notre planète vit actuellement et quelles conséquences, déjà observées, ces changements parfois radicaux signifient. Jean-Marc Jancovici étaye sa vision remarquablement argumentée en plaçant la question de l'énergie et du changement climatique au coeur de sa réflexion tout en évoquant les enjeux économiques (la course à la croissance à tout prix est-elle un leurre ?), écologiques et sociétaux. Ce témoignage éclairé s'avère précieux, passionnant et invite à la réflexion sur des sujets parfois clivants, notamment celui de la transition énergétique. Christophe Blain se place dans le rôle du candide, à la façon de son livre "En cuisine avec Alain Passard" et de "Quai d'Orsay" signé avec l'expertise d'un coauteur : un pavé de 120 pages indispensable pour mieux comprendre notre monde, tout simplement !

Abstract

Enjeu majeur du XXIe siècle, le changement climatique est un phénomène complexe dont les effets multiformes ne sont pas toujours faciles à comprendre. Sécheresse et vagues de chaleur, mais aussi périodes de froid, inondations et fortes pluies : la crise climatique est devenue un problème mondial que personne ne peut plus ignorer.En 50 graphiques, Esther Gonstalla, en collaboration avec de nombreux scientifiques, a transformé ces données en infographies efficaces et claires à destination non seulement de ceux qui veulent comprendre mais aussi agir.Quelles sont les causes et les effets du réchauffement climatique ? Quelle est la force d?influence de l?Homme ? Que peut-on faire pour lutter contre le changement climatique ? Quelles sont les conséquences sur les mouvements de population ?Pour répondre à ces questions et à bien d?autres, Esther Gonstalla a compilé, analysé et synthétisé d?innombrables études et données scientifiques. Attachée à la sensibilisation du plus grand nombre, elle propose des solutions concrètes tant au point de vue individuel qu?au point de vue économique et politique pour maintenir un climat viable pour tous et enrayer ce phénomène.Bron : https://www.plumedecarotte.com/product-page/le-livre-du-climat

Abstract

Social work is the profession that claims to intervene to enhance people's well-being. However, social workers have played a low-key role in environmental issues that increasingly impact on people's well-being, both locally and globally.This compelling new contribution confronts this topic head-on, examining environmental issues from a social work perspective. Lena Dominelli draws attention to the important voice of practitioners working on the ground in the aftermath of environmental disasters, whether these are caused by climate change, industrial accidents or human conflict. The author explores the concept of green social work' and its role in using environmental crises to address poverty and other forms of structural inequalities, to obtain more equitable allocations of limited natural resources and to tackle global socio-political forces that have a damaging impact upon the quality of life of poor and marginalized populations at local levels. The resolution of these matters is linked to community initiatives that social workers can engage in to ensure that the quality of life of poor people can be enhanced without costing the Earth. This important book will appeal to those in the fields of social work, social policy, sociology and human geography. It powerfully reveals how environmental issues are an integral part of social work's remit if it is to retain its currency in the modern world and emphasize its relevance to the social issues that societies have to resolve in the twenty-first century.eu.wiley.com

Abstract

The 2018 Nobel laureate for economics analyzes the politics and economics of the central environmental issue of today and points the way to real solutionsClimate change is profoundly altering our world in ways that pose major risks to human societies and natural systems. We have entered the Climate Casino and are rolling the global-warming dice, warns economist William Nordhaus. But there is still time to turn around and walk back out of the casino, and in this essential book the author explains how.Bringing together all the important issues surrounding the climate debate, Nordhaus describes the science, economics, and politics involved, and the steps necessary to reduce the perils of global warming. Using language accessible to any concerned citizen and taking care to present different points of view fairly, he discusses the problem from start to finish: from the beginning, where warming originates in our personal energy use, to the end, where societies employ regulations or taxes or subsidies to slow the emissions of gases responsible for climate change.Nordhaus offers a new analysis of why earlier policies, such as the Kyoto Protocol, failed to slow carbon dioxide emissions, how new approaches can succeed, and which policy tools will most effectively reduce emissions. In short, he clarifies a defining problem of our times and lays out the next critical steps for slowing the trajectory of global warming.https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300212648/the-climate-casino/

Abstract

Human health depends on the health of the planet. Earth?s natural systems?the air, the water, the biodiversity, the climate?are our life support systems. Yet climate change, biodiversity loss, scarcity of land and freshwater, pollution and other threats are degrading these systems. The emerging field of planetary health aims to understand how these changes threaten our health and how to protect ourselves and the rest of the biosphere.Planetary Health: Protecting Nature to Protect Ourselves provides a readable introduction to this new paradigm. With an interdisciplinary approach, the book addresses a wide range of health impacts felt in the Anthropocene, including food and nutrition, infectious disease, non-communicable disease, dislocation and conflict, and mental health. It also presents strategies to combat environmental changes and its ill-effects, such as controlling toxic exposures, investing in clean energy, improving urban design, and more. Chapters are authored by widely recognized experts.The result is a comprehensive and optimistic overview of a growing field that is being adopted by researchers and universities around the world. Students of public health will gain a solid grounding in the new challenges their profession must confront, while those in the environmental sciences, agriculture, the design professions, and other fields will become familiar with the human consequences of planetary changes. https://islandpress.org/books/planetary-healthhttps://islandpress.org/books/planetary-health

Abstract

Le développement durable a été créé par la communication des entreprises pour réenchanter l'économie et fournir un thème consensuel sur nos modes de développement. À partir de nombreux travaux scientifiques internationaux, l'auteur démontre que la communication sur le développement durable, loin de relégitimer la place de l'entreprise, engendre des effets pervers qui vont bien au-delà des simples attaques en greenwashing.

Abstract

Most of their history human beings have lived in comparatively small and close‐knit societies, with a primitive technology that allowed them to affect only their most immediate environment. Their moral psychology is therefore adpated to make them fit to live in these conditions; it is myopic, restricted to a concern about kin and people in the neighbourhood in the immediate future. But by scientific technology humans have radically changed their living conditions, while their moral psychology has remained fundamentally the same through this change, which is occurring with an accelerating speed. Human beings now live in societies with millions of citizens, and with an advanced scientific technology that enables them to exercise an influence that extends all over the world and far into the future. This is leading to increasing environmental degradation and to deleterious climate change. The advanced scientific technology has also equipped human beings with nuclear and biological weapons of mass destruction, which might be used by states in wars over dwindling natural resources, or by terrorists. Liberal democracies cannot overcome these threats merely by developing novel technology. What is needed is an enhancement of the moral dispositions of their citizens, an extension of their moral concern beyond a small circle of personal acquaintances and further into the future. Otherwise, human civilization is jeopardized. It is doubtful whether this moral enhancement could be accomplished solely by means of traditional moral education. Therefore, we should explore, in addition, the prospects of moral enhancement by alternative, biomedical means.

Abstract

The world is working exactly as designed. The combustion engine which is destroying our planet's atmosphere and rapidly making it inhospitable is working exactly as we designed it. Guns, which lead to so much death, work exactly as they're designed to work. And every time we "improve" their design, they get better at killing. Facebook's privacy settings, which have outed gay teens to their conservative parents, are working exactly as designed. Their "real names" initiative, which makes it easier for stalkers to re-find their victims, is working exactly as designed. Twitter's toxicity and lack of civil discourse is working exactly as it's designed to work.The world is working exactly as designed. And it's not working very well. Which means we need to do a better job of designing it. Design is a craft with an amazing amount of power. The power to choose. The power to influence. As designers, we need to see ourselves as gatekeepers of what we are bringing into the world, and what we choose not to bring into the world. Design is a craft with responsibility. The responsibility to help create a better world for all. Design is also a craft with a lot of blood on its hands. Every cigarette ad is on us. Every gun is on us. Every ballot that a voter cannot understand is on us. Every time social network's interface allows a stalker to find their victim, that's on us. The monsters we unleash into the world will carry your name. This book will make you see that design is a political act. What we choose to design is a political act. Who we choose to work for is a political act. Who we choose to work with is a political act. And, most importantly, the people we've excluded from these decisions is the biggest (and stupidest) political act we've made as a society.If you're a designer, this book might make you angry. It should make you angry. But it will also give you the tools you need to make better decisions. You will learn how to evaluate the potential benefits and harm of what you're working on. You'll learn how to present your concerns. You'll learn the importance of building and working with diverse teams who can approach problems from multiple points-of-view. You'll learn how to make a case using data and good storytelling. You'll learn to say NO in a way that'll make people listen. But mostly, this book will fill you with the confidence to do the job the way you always wanted to be able to do it. This book will help you understand your responsibilities.
