The Political Economy of the European Union’s Emissions Trading System

This book analyzes the impact of national culture on a range of corporate carbon practices in major economies since the Paris Agreement. It does so by exploring the interaction between hard institutions such as carbon policies and regulation and soft institutions such as national culture.The book focuses on national culture as a key factor in corporate decarbonization practices, one traditionally overlooked by analytical frameworks rooted in economic development, laws and regulation. It argues that fighting climate change requires collaboration from organisations in countries with diverse cultures. Managers and various stakeholders who exert significant influence over climate actions are likely to respond to a climate threat in accordance with their cultural prescriptions towards risk, regulation, environmental stewardship and stakeholder engagement. Analysing a large, cross-country dataset covering firms from both developing and emerging companies, the book analyses firm-level decisions, behaviours, strategies and outcomes related to decarbonization. It finds that corporate decisions to decarbonize are influenced not just by formal institutions such as macrolevel regulations, climate standards and policies, but softer institutions such as national culture which either facilitate or constrain a firm's ability to adopt effective climate strategies. The book highlights the importance of context-sensitive climate governance and closes by outlining areas of future research.Sitting at the intersection of cultural studies and corporate environmental governance, this book will interest researchers and policy makers working on sustainability, accounting and environmental management.

Understand and navigate the coming tumultuous period of political, societal, and economic unrest In The Great Reset, noted financial expert and multiple New York Times best-selling author John Mauldin helps you understand the enormous and widespread social, political, and financial problems we are facing. Multiple different cycle theories all suggest a crisis coming at the end of the decade. Mauldin enables you to find your own personal path through them, as various crises reach a breaking point in the next few years. Analyzing the theories of leading thought leaders in the field along with viewpoints of his own, Mauldin delivers a nuanced view of historical cycles and what they tell us about the rest of this decade. In this book, readers will learn about the theories of: <ul> <li>Neil Howe, who originally predicted the very conditions we are going through today in the 90s</li> <li>George Friedman, who argues there are actually two geopolitical cycles of 50 and 80 years, and for the first time we are at the end of both concurrently, as well as the revolt against "experts" wanting to control our lives</li> <li>Peter Turchin, who focuses on the overproduction of "elites" and the disparities in income and wealth it creates and forecasts a potentially violent pushback</li> <li>Ray Dalio, who uses a 16-variable model to quantify and predict past and probable future cycles and now suggests a 40% possibility of a civil war</li> <li>Mauldin explains how the explosion of government debt will bring about the End of the Debt SuperCycle and trigger the crises mentioned above</li> </ul> Most importantly, this is ultimately an optimistic book as it predicts a powerful and positive outcome as a period of cooperation, something now inconceivable, develops as it always does during crises and the future is enhanced by amazing new technologies and fabulous opportunities on the near horizon. The Great Restart is an essential, timely read for all individuals and families seeking clarity on the problems plaguing humanity, protection from the chaos, and insight on how we can pave a profitable and better path forward for ourselves, families, friends and countries

The Great Re-Start From Crisis to Opportunity

Routledge Studies in Environmental Communication and Media

This book explores the influence of religion, culture, community, and digital innovation as key dimensions of climate change communication in Asia.As climate change continues to shape our world, effective communication plays a vital role in bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and public action. Against this backdrop, this book examines the role of climate change communication in Asia by showcasing unique cases and examples from selected countries including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, India, the Philippines, China, South Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, and Kazakhstan. Divided into four key Parts, the chapters draw on a broad selection of examples including rising sea levels in Jakarta, increasing numbers of typhoons in East Asia, extreme heatwaves and climate-induced agricultural losses in India and Pakistan and accelerated glacial melt in Central Asia.Overall, the book demonstrates the important of distinguishing regional experiences from Western perspectives and highlights the critical role that climate change communication plays in raising awareness and promoting informed responses in Asian countries. Multidimensional Climate Change Communication in Asia will serve as a valuable reference source for students, academics and industry professionals at both local and global levels.

Letters to Our Sons

This groundbreaking book presents an innovative predictive concept in geographical ecology that reveals local and regional mechanisms of global environmental changes. This work provides environmental scientists with formalized tools for analysis and prediction that can be applied to real-world ecological challenges. Ecological modeling through the application of discrete mathematics for processing extensive empirical data from field and laboratory landscape studies.Empirical simulation of forecasts is implemented as a reproduction of predicted scenarios of biogeocoenotic systems according to the laws of their basic spatial organization, with the fundamental properties of ergodicity of the natural environment. The methodology presented transforms geographical ecology into a more precise and quantifiable discipline capable of addressing complex environmental dynamics.This monograph is primarily intended for specialists in ecological modeling and forecasting, and ecological planning in forestry. Additionally, as it draws from the Russian school of landscape science-an approach not widely familiar to many Western European and American researchers-the book offers valuable theoretical and methodological insights for both landscape scientists and ecologists across various specializations. Researchers seeking innovative approaches to understanding environmental change will find this work particularly valuable for its unique perspective and practical applications.

Boreal Forests Under Global Warming

How can a country industrialise without causing environmental damage? How do development professionals ensure they act in the interests of recipients, rather than their own donor country? And how is the humanitarian project of development complicated by ideological objectives? The fourth edition of this renowned textbook covers the most urgent issues facing the field of development. With the return of Russia as a global actor, renewed conflict in the Middle East, and global inequality exacerbated by climate change and global health crises, the questions underpinning international development are increasingly fraught. For most of its history, international development was shaped by Cold War competition; at the turn of the twenty-first century, the paradigm shifted as China assumed a greater role, and post-9/11 US development initiatives were intended to reduce militancy in the Middle East. As these tensions return to the world stage, it is ever more important for students to ask what development is - or should be - and what it can achieve. With increased attention to gender and postcolonial perspectives and strong coverage of security, economics and global order, this book is essential reading for students of international development.

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking in the Horn of Africa

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea comes&nbsp;“a bold exploration of womanhood, feminism, parenting, aging, love and more” (Associated Press). “The Soul of a Woman is Isabel Allende’s most liberating book yet.”—Elle “When I say that I was a feminist in kindergarten, I am not exaggerating,” begins Isabel Allende. As a child, she watched her mother, abandoned by her husband, provide for her three small children without “resources or voice.” Isabel became a fierce and defiant little girl, determined to fight for the life her mother couldn’t have. As a young woman coming of age in the late 1960s, she rode the second wave of feminism. Among a tribe of like-minded female journalists, Allende for the first time felt comfortable in her own skin, as they wrote “with a knife between our teeth” about women’s issues. She has seen what the movement has accomplished in the course of her lifetime. And over the course of three passionate marriages, she has learned how to grow as a woman while having a partner, when to step away, and the rewards of embracing one’s sexuality. So what feeds the soul of feminists—and all women—today? To be safe, to be valued, to live in peace, to have their own resources, to be connected, to have control over our bodies and lives, and above all, to be loved. On all these fronts, there is much work yet to be done, and this book, Allende hopes, will “light the torches of our daughters and granddaughters with mine. They will have to live for us, as we lived for our mothers, and carry on with the work still left to be finished.”
