Описание: Attempts to understand the production and impacts of climate change and proposals for mitigation and adaptation through gender analyses are thin on the ground. This book explains how gender, as a power relationship, influences climate change related strategies and considers the additional pressure that climate change puts on uneven gender relati
Описание: Biodiversity and the Climate Crisis: Essential Understanding and Connections provides students with a collection of scholarly articles that not only help them to build an appreciation for the vast diversity of species on Earth, but also an understanding of how Earth's climate is changing rapidly, with implications of climate disruption on societies and especially other species. Over the course of eleven chapters, students read articles that introduce the concept and descriptions of biodiversity and provide scientific evidence of climate change and how it is impacting species. Students read about climate disruption effects upon species in regions of North America, as well as global-scale responses and vulnerability of marine fisheries to climate disruption. The collection concludes with a chapter that discusses the economic impact of climate change, with recommendations on how to constructively address this international problem, including the pivotal role of young people. A timely resource developed to provide students with valuable foundational knowledge, Biodiversity and the Climate Crisis is well-suited for undergraduate courses in environmental science and environmental studies.

Описание: Unless we make drastic changes, the climate damage that we are causing by living in cities will result in terminal consumption. Providing a radical new argument that integrates global understandings of making nature and making cities, the authors move beyond current policies of mitigation and adaption towards making cities spaces for activism.

Описание:
How can religion help to understand and content with the challenges of climate change?
Understanding Climate Change through Religious Lifeworlds, edited by David Haberman, presents a unique collection of essays that detail how the effects of human-related climate change are actively reshaping religious ideas and practices, even as religious groups and communities endeavor to bring their traditions to bear on mounting climate challenges.
People of faith from the low-lying islands of the Caribbean to the glacial regions of the Himalayas are influencing how their communities understand earthly problems and develop meaningful responses to them. This collection focuses on a variety of different aspects of this critical interaction, including the role of religion in ongoing debates about climate change, religious sources of environmental knowledge and how this knowledge informs community responses to climate change, and the ways that climate change is in turn driving religious change.
Understanding Climate Change through Religious Lifeworlds offers a transnational view of how religion reconciles the concepts of the global and the local and influences the challenges of climate change.

Описание: The availability of climate-related data and computer modelling is a key factor in observing and analyzing climate change. Using a combination of ground data, satellite data, and human impacts, this second edition discusses the current state of climate research at a global scale, and establishes a background for future discussions.
Understanding Climate Change Impacts on Crop Productivity and Water examines the greenhouse gas emissions and their warming effect, climate change projections, crop productivity and water. The book explores the most important greenhouse gases that influence the climate system, technical terms associated with climate projections, and the different mechanisms impacting crop productivity and water balance. Adaptive and mitigative strategies are proposed to cope with negative effects of climate change in particular domains. This book will help researchers interested in climate change impacts on the atmosphere, soil and plants.
Uncovers links between climate change and its impact on crop and water outputs
Integrates information on greenhouse gas cycles and mathematical equations into climate/crop models for analysis and seasonal prediction systems
Provides strategies for efficient resource management and sustainable crop production in future
Helps researchers interested in climate change impacts on the atmosphere, soil and plants
Описание: This book is the first dedicated to questioning the issue of a single, global dangerous amount of climate change within a social science framework. It should be of interest to students and scholars of environmental policy and politics, climate change communication, and science, technology and society studies.
Climate change is affecting every country on every continent. It is disrupting national economies and affecting lives. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, and weather events are becoming more extreme.
Although greenhouse gas emissions are projected to drop about 6 per cent in 2020 due to travel bans and economic slowdowns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, this improvement is only temporary. Climate change is not on pause. Once the global economy begins to recover from the pandemic, emissions are expected to return to higher levels.
Saving lives and livelihoods requires urgent action to address both the pandemic and the climate emergency.
This is the descriptive introduction to climate change.
