The more facts that pile up about global warming, the greater the resistance to them grows, making it harder to enact measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare communities for the inevitable change ahead. It is a catch-22 that starts, says psychologist and economist Per Espen Stoknes, from an inadequate understanding of the way most humans think, act, and live in the world around them. With dozens of examples—from the private sector to government agencies—Stoknes shows how to retell the story of climate change and, at the same time, create positive, meaningful actions that can be supported even by deniers.In What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming, Stoknes not only masterfully identifies the five main psychological barriers to climate action, but addresses them with five strategies for how to talk about global warming in a way that creates action and solutions, not further inaction and despair.These strategies work with, rather than against, human nature. They are social, positive, and simple—making climate-friendly behaviors easy and convenient. They are also story-based, to help add meaning and create community, and include the use of signals, or indicators, to gauge feedback and be constantly responsive.Whether you are working on the front lines of the climate issue, immersed in the science, trying to make policy or educate the public, or just an average person trying to make sense of the cognitive dissonance or grapple with frustration over this looming issue, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming moves beyond the psychological barriers that block progress and opens new doorways to social and personal transformation

Voilà cinquante et un ans, un rapport au Club de Rome, Les Limites à la croissance, bouleversait le monde en montrant que la croissance démographique et industrielle conduisait l'humanité au bord du précipice. Aujourd'hui, nous savons que nous avons franchi six des neuf limites planétaires et que les inégalités généralisées ont engendré de profondes instabilités sociales, qui vont s'aggravant. Comment résoudre ces crises ? Comment engager le système économique mondial sur une voie résiliente et équitable ? Un groupe de scientifiques et d'économistes de premier plan a mis au jour cinq changements de cap radicaux permettant de parvenir, en une seule génération, à un état de prospérité partagée. En s'appuyant sur une modélisation informatique de pointe, ils explorent : - deux scénarios - » Trop peu Trop tard » et « Pas de Géant » - et leurs conséquences sur notre avenir collectif. - cinq changements de cap pouvant mettre fin à la pauvreté et aux inégalités, transformer nos systèmes alimentaires et énergétiques d'ici à 2050, à condition que la prochaine décennie connaisse la transformation économique la plus rapide de l'Histoire. Accessible et inspirant, Earth for All - Terre pour tous est à la fois un antidote au désespoir et une véritable feuille de route pour se bâtir un avenir qui est encore à écrire.

Responding to the increased interest in the integration of expressive arts and ecotherapy, this book presents a nature based approach to expressive arts work. It provides an overview of the two fields, emphasizing how they can enrich and learn from each other, and highlights attitudes and practices in expressive arts that are particularly relevant to working with nature. This includes cultivating an aesthetic response to the earth, the relationship between beauty and sustainability, and lessons about art and nature from indigenous cultures. Four suggested structures for a nature based expressive arts activity - including writing, body, and ritual centered - are provided in the appendices.

The economic operating system keeps crashing. It's time to upgrade to a new one.Five decades ago, The Limits to Growth shocked the world by showing that population and industrial growth were pushing humanity towards a cliff. Today the world recognizes that we are now at the cliff edge: Earth has crossed multiple planetary boundaries while widespread inequality is causing deep instabilities in societies. There seems to be no way out.Earth For All is both an antidote to despair and a road map to a better future. Using powerful state-of-the-art computer modeling to explore policies likely to deliver the most good for the majority of people, a leading group of scientists and economists from around the world present five extraordinary turnarounds to achieve prosperity for all within planetary limits in a single generation. Coverage includes:Results of new global modeling that indicates falling well-being and rising social tensions heighten risk of regional societal collapsesTwo alternative scenarios - Too-Little-Too-Late vs The Giant Leap - and what they mean for our collective futureFive system-shifting steps that can upend poverty and inequality, lift up marginalized people, and transform our food and energy systems by 2050A clear pathway to reboot our global economic system so it works for all people and the planet.Written in an open, accessible, and inspirational style using clear language and high impact visuals, Earth For All is a profound vision for uncertain times and a map to a better future.This survival guide for humanity is required reading for everyone concerned about living well on a fragile planet.BOOK AWARDSFINALIST | 2022 Foreword INDIES - Ecology & Environment
