In 2001 the 26 IEA Member countries took or planned over 200 energy-related policies and measures to tackle climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. This volume reviews the actions taken and describes them in detail. It shows how developed countries implement the commitments made under international agreements or at national level to reduce their emissions. The policies have been classified under six major headings: fiscal polices, tradable permits, regulatory instruments, voluntary agreements, R&D policies and policy processes. The introductory analysis provides an overview and asse

Le 4e de couverture indique : "Nous savons qu'il nous reste peu de temps pour agir. Un nombre toujours plus important de scientifiques nous mettent en garde : dans quelques années, il sera trop tard. . Le changement climatique menace de défaire le tissu social, de saper les fondations mêmes de la démocratie et de précipiter la disparition de nombreuses espèces. Dont l'être humain. Fort de cette urgence, Drawdown propose une feuille de route à l'usage des gouvernements, des territoires, des villes, des entreprises et de chacun d'entre nous. Plutôt que de baisser les bras, ce livre veut nous aider à surmonter la peur, la confusion et l'apathie, pour passer à l'acte. Drawdown désigne le point de bascule à partir duquel la concentration de un pic, se met à diminuer d'une année sur l'autre. L'objectif de ce livre est de nous aider à engager cette bascule. Pour y parvenir, Paul Hawken et soixante-dix chercheurs ont élaboré un plan inédit : quatre-vingts solutions pour inverser le cours du changement climatique. En décrivant leurs impacts positifs sur le monde financier, les relations sociales et l'environnement, ils nous enjoignent à organiser notre action : commencer par ce qui aura le plus d'impact et construire une stratégie globale. Nous disposons de tous les outils nécessaires, à nous de nous mettre au travail. "

Climate change and its implications for consumers and policymakers, have been discussed extensively. Adrian Renner provides a unique perspective on how stockholders react if companies move towards a carbon-conscious future. A multi-country event study approach was used to analyze stock market reactions of the largest 500 companies globally. The analysis shows that depending on the situation of the company outcomes vary substantially. For example, Asian companies were gratified by investors for their carbon-conscious behavior while European and North American companies got punished for this.

Global warming is accelerating faster than the ability for natural repair, and environmental stresses are damaging ecosystems, all affecting physical and biological systems on Earth. A new Nasa-led study shows that human activity has caused climate changes resulting in permafrost thawing, acid rain, and lower productivity in lakes as well as increased emissions of greenhouse gases, including CO2, N20, CH4, CF3, and CFC. Marine plants play a vital role in maintaining the balance of marine environments, while serving as a source of food for humankind and important chemical compounds. Microalgae and seaweed have enormous potential for reducing global warming and climate change. During photosynthesis algae grow, draw CO2 from the atmosphere, release oxygen, and produce solar biofuel. Experts in the life of marine plant ecosystems in globally changing environments contributed chapters to this book. The target readers are phycologists, ecologists, atmospheric scholars, conservationists, environmentalists, and ecologically aware laymen.

Is anthropogenic global warming occurring? Perhaps, says the author, although an examination of the evidence suggests that it will not be catastrophic and reality tells us that, despite significant expenditure on mitigating climate change, we had better learn to adapt to it. This volume is a comprehensive examination of why this is the case, enabling readers to understand the complexity associated with climate change policy and the science behind it. For example, the author describes the criticism and defense of the widely known “hockey stick” temperature graph derived from combining instrumental data and proxy temperature indications using tree ring, ice core and other paleoclimatic data. Readers will also learn that global warming cannot easily be avoided by reducing CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions in rich countries. Not only is emissions reduction extremely difficult in rich countries, but demands such as the UN mandate to improve the lives of the poorest global citizens cannot be satisfied without significantly increasing global energy use, and CO2 emissions. Therefore, the author asserts that climate engineering and adaptation are preferable to mitigation, particularly since the science is less than adequate for making firm statements about the Earth’s future climate. The purpose of the book is not only to inform but to get the reader thinking critically about what may well be the most important environmental issue currently facing humankind.
