Abstract

These remarks were delivered by World Bank Group President David Malpass at the Sina Finance 2022 ESG Global Leaders' Summit on June 28, 2022. He mentioned that in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, countries are shifting their energy policy priorities in ways that may slow down the energy transition and affect global climate goals and the achievement of electricity access. He said that the increased price of natural gas is already causing increased use of coal, diesel, and heavy fuel oil in the developing world. He insisted that it will be important to identify, fund and implement the most impactful projects in terms of GHG emissions and resilience in adapting to major climate vulnerabilities. .He said that to help focus efforts in developing countries, the World Bank Group has launched a new core diagnostic called Country Climate and Development Reports, or CCDRs. He described that constant innovation will be needed as the private sector applies significant funding to global public goods. He highlighted that the World Bank promotes global transparency on climate metrics, targets, and outputs so that we can create opportunities, tackle challenges, and help countries maximize positive outcomes in their climate transition. He mentioned that China's role as a major global creditor gives it additional responsibility to support the global shift toward investments with high ESG standards. He concluded by saying that a commitment to high standards of transparency and environmental and social risk management, similar to the standards that the World Bank Group and other MDBs follow, would help recipient countries achieve sustainable development while also significantly lowering risks for Chinese investors themselves.

Abstract

By 1979, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change - including how to stop it. Through the 1980s, a handful of scientists, politicians, and strategists, led by two unlikely heroes, risked their careers in a desperate, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. This book is their story. It tells the human story of climate change. It reveals the birth of climate denialism and the genesis of the fossil fuel industry's coordinated effort to thwart climate policy through disinformation, propaganda, and political influence. The book carries the story into the present day, laying out the long shadow of our failures and asking crucial questions about how we make sense of our past, our future, and ourselves.

Abstract

"Environmental Change describes and explains the current and future significance of past and contemporary environmental, and especially climatic, change. It outlines the conceptual framework for studies of environmental change by posing a series of key questions and presenting the results of the most recent and relevant research. It thereby establishes a basis for evaluating projections of future environmental change." "This book provides a balanced basis for understanding and exploring the scientific issues underlying global change for advanced undergraduates in geography, environmental, earth, biological and ecological sciences. By providing a non-specialist introduction to models in environmental change research and to the study of past environmental changes, it seeks to draw a wider group of students into the field."--Jacket.

Abstract

"L'économie du confinement a mis le monde à l'arrêt. Le Covid-19 a purifié l'air de nos villes et fait chuter les émissions de CO2 comme aucune politique auparavant. Dans l'urgence, il a imposé des réorganisations drastiques de la production, des échanges, du travail. Il a creusé les inégalités, mais a catalysé de nouvelles formes de solidarité. Un choc ayant touché simultanément des milliards d’humains ne peut constituer une simple parenthèse avant le « retour à la normale ». Dans cet essai, Christian de Perthuis nous incite à ne pas chercher à « recoudre ensemble le futur et le passé », suivant la belle formule d’Arundhati Roy. Il suggère d’opérer « un va-et-vient » entre l’un et l’autre pour éclairer les ruptures qui vont structurer le monde de demain. Il nous révèle ce que la catastrophe sanitaire peut changer pour l’action climatique. Le monde post-Covid-19 sera plus numérisé et moins carboné. La redistribution des flux de personnes et des marchandises ouvre la voie d’une accélération de la transition énergétique. La tarification carbone distributive, celle de sociétés plus solidaires. La lutte contre l’émergence de nouveaux virus nous oblige à mieux respecter la nature : à protéger les écosystèmes qui stockent le CO2 de l’atmosphère et éloignent les attaques de nouveaux virus. L’économie post-Covid-19 devra reposer sur de nouveaux rapports au milieu naturel et à la multitude des êtres vivants le composant."
