Balancing Mountain Tourism, Cultural
Heritage, and Environmental Stability

Balancing Mountain Tourism, Cultural Heritage, and Environmental Stability

Yale Program on Financial Stability Series

A critical examination of the Federal Reserve-told by the policymakers, economists, and observers who know it bestThe Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful institutions in the world-and one of the least understood. Drawing on twenty-one interviews with former governors, reserve bank presidents, staff economists, lawmakers, journalists, scholars, international central bankers, and investors, Fed Reckoning explores how the institution has navigated the defining upheavals of the modern era: the global financial crisis, the pandemic shock, the post-2021 inflation surge, and the banking turmoil of 2023. It traces the modern Federal Reserve from Volcker to Powell, examining its evolving approach to the dual mandate, financial stability, regulation and supervision, and communication.Just as importantly, these interviews reveal the people behind the institution: their judgments, disagreements, frustrations, and sense of mission. The result is a candid, deeply informed portrait of the Federal Reserve at a moment when its power is immense, its independence is under pressure, and its future path is far from certain-and essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how it makes and defends its decisions.

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) actively rebuilds the natural environment, with a conservation approach that transcends the traditional mitigation of environmental impacts, emphasising the enhancement and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity. Biodiversity Net Gain Law and Practice provides a comprehensive understanding of the legal frameworks and policies that govern the protection and enhancement of biodiversity. This book explores the intersection of environmental, planning, and development laws and highlights how these regulations work together to ensure sustainable development and conservation efforts. It covers key legislation such as the Planning Act 2008, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and the National Planning Policy Framework. Through case studies, legal analysis, and policy discussions, this book illustrates the practical applications and challenges of implementing biodiversity laws, and compares their success in the UK, Europe, India, Australia, Japan and South Africa. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.

Sustainable Practices for Climate Adaptation and Food Security

Resilient Agriculture

There is a climate crisis, extinctions are accelerating, forests are disappearing, water cycles are collapsing and pollution is choking our skies and seas. 

It is easy to be defeatist about the fate of our planet. 

And yet, despite it all, it's not too late: things can change for the better. 

Fred Pearce has been reporting from the frontline of climate change and environmental recovery for over four decades and what he has seen has given him reason - in fact, seven reasons - for (cautious) hope. Here, we learn how nature is finding ways to thrive in unexpected places, how the population bomb has been defused, how our consumerist societies are finally approaching 'peak stuff', and how a combination of ancient wisdom and modern technology can help us correct our course.

A Handbook for Climate Hopefuls

'Excellent' Aaron Bastani 'Provocative ... An entertaining, sweeping read' Financial Times Every leader comes to power promising growth: think back to the campaigns of Boris, Truss, Sunak, Starmer, Trump. Yet real-term income hasn't improved in the UK since 2008. Across the West, growth has stagnated for well over a decade, leading to cost of living crises, political instability and rising social tensions. Is real economic growth still possible? And with the climate emergency accelerating beyond repair, should we still be pushing for it? In Icarus Economics, acclaimed economist John Rapley argues that the problem of growth is inherently tied up with the climate crisis. We often assume that poor countries will bear the brunt of climate change, pandemics, and other exogenous shocks, but this book argues the opposite: western societies have more wealth and capital to lose and are less inherently resilient. In this book, he shows us how rich countries can grow their own economies by helping poor countries to decarbonise - and in the process, mitigate the effects of climate change.

Growth, Degrowth, and the Future of the West

Icarus Economics

This book is the first investigation of the relationship between EU digital sovereignty and sustainability strategies. It maps the ambitions and limitations of EU digital strategic autonomy and explores the structural challenges underlying its relationship with its green transition objectives in the context of the ongoing wars in neighbouring European countries and the consequent tensions in the EU energy sector. The EU is racing to achieve technological independence from third countries and foreign multinational companies to protect its digital sovereignty and preserve its fundamental rights. In the EU, digitalisation and the green transformation are seen as twin transitions. Yet, EU digital sovereignty strategies have a significant environmental cost. Reaching a status of strategic autonomy of the EU at the level of digital infrastructures, products, services and data implies higher energy consumption and exploitation of natural resources. Moreover, the geopolitical tensions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have provoked an unprecedented energy crisis, which is affecting EU economies and impacting objectives of the twin transitions. The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the major EU regulatory and policy instruments in this field, providing an invaluable guide for academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complex issues of preserving digital sovereignty and addressing climate change in times of war and energy crisis.

Digital Sovereignty and the Green Transition

An open invitation to changemakers, educators, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in the creative economy to lean into this grassroots global community and help drive systems change. We live in an age where every convenience is a finger tap away, but historically marginalized communities and ecosystems are paying the price of unconscious consumption. Our current economic practices contribute to environmental damage, social injustice, and declining public trust. The solution, argues Stacey Edgar, social entrepreneur and executive director of the International Folk Art Market, is the artisan economy. In contrast to the profit-at-all-costs model of the mainstream economy, the artisan approach to production and consumption encourages creativity, preserves culture, and cultivates connection. In Artisan Economics, Edgar proposes a shift toward this artisan-centric model that prioritizes creativity, dignity, and community. Drawing on stories and research from around the world, she outlines eight core principles of the artisan economy—purpose, creativity, dignity, resistance, community, value, sustainability, and shared prosperity. She also shares a framework, called the Taproot Model of Systems Change, on which to enact these principles by restoring a vision of the economy as a living system. Ultimately, Edgar proposes, the artisan economy is a way to reconnect consumers with makers, foster sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and human-focused global economy. To create true connections across our global economy, we need a dramatic overhaul of what it means to work and what it means to consume.

Eight Principles to Craft a More Conscious, Collaborative, and Connected Future

Multilateral environmental agreements have over the last four decades emerged as the preferred avenue to address inter-state environmental issues such as climate change. This book analyses the possibilities as well as the limitations of environmental treaty making between states. The book considers the structures and processes that lead to the successful adoption of the Paris Agreement - and contrasting them with other attempts that failed in bringing states together under a legally-binding solution. Christina Voigt explores the whole "life-cycle" of multilateral environmental agreements. Also emphasised is the impact of emerging economies in shaping international environmental regimes.

Multilateralism has been increasingly accepted as the modus operandi in world politics, and in global environmental politics in particular. International environmental law in the form of multilateral environmental agreements has over the last four decades emerged as the preferred avenue to address inter-state environmental issues that either cross state boundaries, materialize beyond national jurisdictions or are of genuinely global nature such as climate change.This book analyses the possibilities as well as the limitations of environmental treaty making between states. The book considers the structures and processes that lead to the successful adoption of the Paris Agreement – and contrasting them with other attempts that failed in bringing states together under a legally-binding solution. Christina Voigt explores the whole "life-cycle" of multilateral environmental agreements, from diplomatic exchanges, to treaty negotiations, to analyses of the treaty text, non-compliance mechanisms and finally to recourse to courts. It also emphasises the strong impact of the sovereign powers of emerging economies such as China and Brazil on the shaping of international environmental regimes.
