Listrik adalah tulang punggung dari hampir semua aspek kehidupan, mulai dari rumah tangga hingga industri, transportasi, dan teknologi. Namun, ada satu masalah yang semakin memburuk dengan penggunaan listrik yaitu dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan. Penghasilan energi listrik dari bahan bakar fosil seperti batu bara, minyak, dan gas alam telah menjadi penyebab utama terhadap perubahan iklim global. Emisi gas rumah kaca yang dihasilkan dari pembakaran bahan bakar fosil telah menyebabkan pemanasan global, cuaca yang ekstrem, dan ancaman terhadap kehidupan di planet ini. Di samping itu, pasokan bahan bakar fosil yang semakin terbatas, akan menghadirkan risiko ketidakstabilan ekonomi dan ketidakpastian energi. Itulah sebabnya, masyarakat global semakin bergerak menuju sumber energi yang lebih bersih dan berkelanjutan. Energi terbarukan telah muncul sebagai alternatif yang sangat menjanjikan. Energi matahari, angin, air, dan panas bumi adalah sumber energi yang tidak terbatas dan dapat digunakan tanpa merusak lingkungan.

"Masculinities in Forests: Representations of Diversity demonstrates the wide variability in ideas about, and practice of, masculinity in different forests, and how these relate to forest management. While forestry is widely considered a masculine domain, a significant portion of the literature on gender and development focuses on the role of women, not men. This book addresses this gap and also highlights how there are significant, demonstrable differences in masculinities from forest to forest. The book develops a simple conceptual framework for considering masculinities, one which both acknowledges the stability or enduring quality of masculinities, but also the significant masculinity-re...
Successful transitions to enduring democracy are both difficult and rare. In Scandal and Democracy, Mary E. McCoy explores how newly democratizing nations can avoid reverting to authoritarian solutions in response to the daunting problems brought about by sudden change. The troubled transitions that have derailed democratization in nations worldwide make this problem a major concern for scholars and citizens alike. This study of Indonesia's transition from authoritarian rule sheds light on the fragility not just of democratic transitions but of democracy itself and finds that democratization's durability depends, to a surprising extent, on the role of the media, particularly its airing of po...

Climate is changing, forced out of the range of the past million years by levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases not seen in the Earth's atmosphere for a very, very long time. Lacking action by the world's nations, it is clear that the planet will be warmer, sea level will rise, and patterns of rainfall will change. But the future is also partly uncertain-there is considerable uncertainty about how we will arrive at that different climate. Will the changes be gradual, allowing natural systems and societal infrastructure to adjust in a timely fashion? Or will some of the changes be more abrupt, crossing some threshold or "tipping point" to change so fast that the time between whe...

Economic growth and the creation of wealth have cut global poverty rates, yet vulnerability, inequality, exclusion and violence have escalated within and across societies throughout the world. Unsustainable patterns of economic production and consumption promote global warming, environmental degradation and an upsurge in natural disasters. Moreover, while we have strengthened international human rights frameworks over the past several decades, implementing and protecting these norms remains a challenge.These changes signal the emergence of a new global context for learning that has vital implications for education. Rethinking the purpose of education and the organization of learning has never been more urgent. This book is inspired by a humanistic vision of education and development, based on respect for life and human dignity, equal rights, social justice, cultural diversity, international solidarity and shared responsibility for a sustainable future. It proposes that we consider education and knowledge as global common goods, in order to reconcile the purpose and organization of education as a collective societal endeavour in a complex world.
