Transport provides access to public services for the poor, opens up trade opportunities, and maximizes the benefits of urbanization: the mobility of people and goods drives development. So how can we protect the role of transport in times of scarcer fuels, costly and harmful carbon emissions, and the rising threat of extreme weather events? This is the central question that this book seeks to answer. Turning the Right Corner: Ensuring Development through a Low-Carbon Transport Sector finds that adopting new vehicle technologies and alternative fuels will not be enough to curb greenhouse gas emissions from transport: new patterns of mobility will also be needed.

Climate change profoundly affects the natural and social environment. Decision-makers and resource managers require information regarding future changes in climate average and variability to better anticipate potential impacts of climate change. This book provides some overviews on the roles of climate scenarios in adaptation planning and what should be considered in using and generating climate scenarios, in a frequently ask questions style. Specifically, this book tries to answer questions commonly addressed by non-climatologists when they want to address climate scenario in adaptation plans. It covers topics on the need of climate scenarios for adaptation, types of climate data or information we need, different types of climate scenarios, emission scenarios, choosing general circulation model (GCM), how to modify the spatial and temporal resolution of climate data, how to deal with uncertainties, and the progress of the climate models in assessing extreme events. The book also provides additional information regarding tools and sources of data in relation to climate scenario.

Belakangan ini cukup banyak suara berasal dari kaum agamawan tentang spiritualitas ekologi. Apa yang melandasi berkembangnya wacana itu? Apa kaitannya antara persoalan lingkungan hidup dan kepercayaan agama? Bukankah masalah lingkungan hidup seperti pemanasan global, perubahan iklim, ancaman kepunahan makhluk hidup, dan sebagainya adalah perkara alamiah yang solusinya ada di wilayah sains, teknologi, dan kebijakan politik belaka, tanpa perlu campur tangan agama? Apa relevansi spiritualitas ekologi? Singkatnya, dapatkah manusia menyelesaikan permasalahan lingkungan hidup yang nyatanya sudah gawat dan mendesak ini tanpa agama? Apakah pertimbangan rasional dan sains seharusnya cukup untuk mengg...
