      The NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA radically new understanding of and practical approach to climate change by noted environmentalist and creator of Drawdown, Paul HawkenThe dangers of climate change and a warming world have been in the public eye for fifty years. For three decades, scientists and the United Nations have urged us to address future existential threats. In Regeneration Paul Hawken has flipped the narrative, bringing people back into the conversation by demonstrating that addressing current human needs rather than future threats is the only path to solving the climate crisis.From land to ocean, food to industries - Regeneration proposes an extensive menu of actions that collectively can reverse the overheating and degradation of our planet. The solutions, techniques, and practices range from solar power, electric vehicles, and tree planting to bioregions, azolla fern and forest farms; they are all doable, science-based, and comprise a precise and unequivocal course of action.Whether you are an individual, community focused or a national government, Regeneration is a call to arms to mobilise and create a better future for ourselves on this planet.

      Drawdown - der Plan
    • 2018

      For the first time ever, an international coalition of leading researchers, scientists and policymakers has come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. All of the techniques described here - some well-known, some you may have never heard of - are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are already enacting them. From revolutionizing how we produce and consume food to educating girls in lower-income countries, these are all solutions which, if deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, could not just slow the earth's warming, but reach drawdown- the point when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. So what are we waiting for?

      Drawdown

      Het meest veelomvattende plan ooit om klimaatontwrichting te keren

      • 238 páginas
      • 9 horas de lectura

      De 100 meest effectieve oplossingen om klimaatontwrichting te keren, gebaseerd op nauwgezet onderzoekswerk door vooraanstaande wetenschappers en beleidmakers van over de hele wereld. 'Klimaat' is 'hot'. Niet alleen binnen bedrijfsleven en politiek, maar ook 'op straat'. Er valt ook nauwelijks aan te ontkomen, met die voortdurende slagregen aan extreemweer-records, alarmerende wetenschappelijke rapporten, de eclatante dubbele Urgenda-overwinning in de klimaatzaak tegen de Staat, de aankomende klimaatwet etc. Nu een dik decennium na 'An Inconvenient Truth' die waarheid steeds nadrukkelijker en in bredere kring begint in te dalen, dreigt de stemming eromheen er niet positiever op te worden. De omvang van het probleem en de omvattendheid en ingrijpendheid van de noodzakelijke aanpak dreigt velen te verlammen. En inderdaad is klimaatontwrichting niet alleen een zeer ingrijpend maar ook uitermate urgent probleem. Oplossingen zijn er echter ook wel degelijk. Vele daarvan waren er al lang, maar winnen nu aan relevantie en aantrekkingskracht. Andere zijn nieuw en verrassend. De grote kracht van dit boek is dat een internationale coalitie van eminente onderzoekers, professionals en wetenschappers een verzameling van 100 realistische en stoutmoedige oplossingen tegen klimaatverandering heeft geïdentificeerd. Naast twintig veelbelovende innovaties presenteert het boek tachtig oplossingen die in het project Drawdown al ver zijn doorgerekend: Wat schiet het klimaat ermee op? En wat is er - voor zover mogelijk - te zeggen over de benodigde investeringen en het te verwachten financiële rendement? Het resultaat is ronduit "A Hopeful Truth'. Als we de gepresenteerde oplossingen op mondiale schaal toepassen, dan kunnen we de opwarming van de aarde niet alleen afremmen, maar zelfs een keerpunt bereiken, waarbij de broeikasgas-concentraties in de atmosfeer na een piek zelfs aan een daling beginnen. De "Drawdown'-maatregelen bieden dus een hoopvol klimaatperspectief. Bovendien leveren ze een hele reeks van andere voordelen op - voor onze gezondheid, veiligheid, welvaart en welzijn. We kunnen dus de huidige planetaire klimaatcrisis ombuigen tot een geweldige kans om onze wereld rechtvaardig en leefbaar te maken. Aan de slag!

      "In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described here--some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earth's warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being--giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world"--Page 4 of cover

      The world has changed in the seventeen years since the controversial initial publication of Paul Hawken's Ecology of Commerce, a stirring treatise about the perceived antagonism between ecology and business. Yet Hawken's impassioned argument—that business both causes the most egregious abuses of the environment and, crucially, holds the most potential for solving our sustainability problems—is more relevant and resonant than ever. Containing updated and revised material for a new audience, The Ecology of Commerce presents a compelling vision of the restorative (rather than destructive) economy we must create, centered on eight imperatives: Reduce energy carbon emissions 80 percent by 2030 and total natural resource usage 80 percent by 2050. Provide secure, stable, and meaningful employment to people everywhere. Be self-organizing rather than regulated or morally mandated. Honor market principles. Restore habitats, ecosystems, and societies to their optimum. Rely on current income. Be fun and engaging, and strive for an aesthetic outcome.
