The Great Displacement Climate Change and the Next American Migration [Audiobook]
The Great Displacement: Climate Change and the Next American Migration (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0B5M2DVF7 | 2023 | 10 hours and 26 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 298 MB
Author: Jake Bittle
Narrator: Matt Godfrey

The untold story of climate migration in the United States-the personal stories of those experiencing displacement, the portraits of communities being torn apart by disaster, and the implications for all of us as we confront a changing future. Even as climate change dominates the headlines, many of us still think about it in the future tense-we imagine that as global warming gets worse over the coming decades, millions of people will scatter around the world fleeing famine and rising seas. What we often don't realize is that the consequences of climate change are already visible, right here in the United States. In communities across the country, climate disasters are pushing thousands of people away from their homes. A human-centered narrative with national scope, The Great Displacement is "a vivid tour of the new human geography just coming into view".

E-BooksThe Crisis of Climate Change Weather Report



The Crisis of Climate Change Weather Report
The Crisis of Climate Change: Weather Report By Ravi Agarwal (editor), Omita Goyal (editor)
2021 | 244 Pages | ISBN: 1032052635 | PDF | 3 MB
This volume outlines the specific conditions and responses to climate change in India. It discusses various aspects of the planetary crisis that have acquired widespread global urgency: global warming induced by anthropogenic emissions, largely owing to the fossil fuel-based economic growth model; severe environmental decline; and the catastrophic consequences that threaten the very foundations of modern life, which has been based on using nature as a 'resource' instead of as an ecosystem in which human life exists. The book brings together contributors with expertise in fi elds as varied as national security, public policy, environmental law, climate justice activism, anthropology, restoration ecology, conservation biology, wildlife ecology, the health sector and medicine, conservation science and sustainability, gender, humanities and the creative arts. It includes a new spectrum of responses―holistic or alternate, literary and the arts, dance and poetry―and their interface with climate change, which are often left out in science and policy circles, and an unusual ground-up approach with grassroots movements' perspectives along with theoretical practices and a Gandhian way of thinking in a global economy.Comprehensive, accessible and topical, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of environmental and sustainability studies, natural resources, environment and technology, sociology of development, development studies, public policy, energy and environment and urbanisation. It will also interest practitioners, policymakers, think tanks and NGOs working on climate change issues.

E-BooksClimate Adaptation and Flood Risk in Coastal Cities



Climate Adaptation and Flood Risk in Coastal Cities
Jeroen Aerts, Wouter Botzen, Malcolm Bowman, "Climate Adaptation and Flood Risk in Coastal Cities"
English | 2011 | pages: 360 | ISBN: 1849713464 | PDF | 7,8 mb
This book presents climate adaptation and flood risk problems and solutions in coastal cities, including an independent investigation of adaptation paths and problems in Rotterdam, New York and Jakarta. The comparison draws out lessons that each city can learn from the others. While the main focus is on coastal flooding, cities are also affected by climate change in other ways, including impacts that occur away from the coast. The New York City Water Supply System, for example, stretches as far as 120 miles upstate, and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection has undertaken extensive climate assessment, not only for its coastal facilities, but also for its upstate facilities which will be affected by rising temperatures, droughts, inland flooding and water quality changes.

E-BooksClimate Protection and Environmental Interests in Renewable Energy Law Perspectives from Brazil and Germany



Climate Protection and Environmental Interests in Renewable Energy Law Perspectives from Brazil and Germany
Paula Galbiatti Silveira, "Climate Protection and Environmental Interests in Renewable Energy Law: Perspectives from Brazil and Germany"
English | ISBN: 3031116046 | 2022 | 311 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book is about environmental and climate legal protection in the energy transition. The Paris Agreement has a binding commitment of holding the global temperature increase to 2°C while pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C. To cope with the negative effects of climate changes and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, one of the primary responses has been the deployment of renewable energy sources, transiting from fossil fuels to sustainable electricity production. However, renewable energy sources can also cause significant environmental impacts. Wind energy, for instance, can impact biodiversity, such as birds and bats, killing them when colliding with turbines and affecting their migration and nesting.
