The Carbon Code
The Carbon Code provides a framework to do this, and helps you to become a hero in the fight against climate change.
At Sea with the Marine Birds of the Raincoast
At Sea with the Marine Birds of the Raincoast tells the stories of conservation scientist Caroline Fox and the marine birds she studies as she sails along the Northwest Coast.
Transformative Politics of Nature
Transformative Politics of Nature highlights the most significant barriers to conservation in Canada and discusses strategies to confront and overcome them. Featuring contributions from academics as well as practitioners, the volume brings together the perspectives of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous experts on land and wildlife conservation, in a way that honours and respects all peoples and nature. Contributors provide insights that enhance understanding of key barriers, important actors, and strategies for shaping policy at multiple levels of government across Canada. The chapters engage academics, environmental conservation organizations, and Indigenous communities in dialogues and exp...
The Five-Ton Life
"Susan Subak explores various low-carbon locations across America, calculating and comparing emissions data to understand what unites these different types of American neighborhoods, as well as what sets them apart, and how we can use this information to work towards a lower-carbon future"--
Save the Planet
"Save the Planet: How we can contribute" is a compelling and enlightening guide that addresses the pressing issue of climate change. In this meticulously crafted book, the author, an experienced environmental scientist, offers a holistic perspective on the intricate web of challenges posed by climate change. The urgency to act is conveyed through an exploration of the causes, impacts, and potential solutions to this global crisis. The author delves into the scientific intricacies of climate change, unraveling the mechanisms of greenhouse gas emissions, the role of deforestation, and the consequences of industrialization. While acknowledging the severity of the situation, the book transcends a mere narrative of despair, providing a beacon of hope through practical strategies. The reader is equipped with a roadmap for personal and collective action, ranging from adopting renewable energy sources to advocating for environmental policies.
Widening the Scope of Environmental Policies in North America
This edited volume provides a variety of insights into the context in which ocean and wetlands policy is placed at the sub-continental level. The governments of Mexico, Canada, and United States of America have recognized the importance of conserving, protecting, and enhancing the environment in their territories. As a result, they have developed an institutional structure aimed at furthering environmental cooperation. However, marine environment has played a secondary role, characterized by scientific cooperation that does not develop into regional policies. This project analyzes how ocean and wetlands preservation is omitted from the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, meaning that collaborative efforts under-perform or remain largely sidelined from mainstream issues. As contributors come from a mix of the social and natural sciences (politics, international relations, law studies, sociology, oceanology, and oceanography), this book presents diverse viewpoints on how to address wetlands protection, deep ocean research collaboration, and the marine context of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Can Fishing Gear Protect Non-target Fish? Design and Evaluation of Bycatch Reduction Technology for Commercial Fisheries
The impacts of commercial fishing extend far beyond direct effects on targeted species. As much as 40% of global marine catch is attributable to bycatch, or the capture of non-target organisms which occurs during fishing. The amount of bycatch in a fishery is determined in part by the selectivity of the industry's fishing gear, and bycatch mitigation often focuses on improving the selectivity of these gears. This thesis explores bycatch mitigation through the design and evaluation of bycatch reduction devices (BRDs), or fishing gear modifications aimed specifically at reducing non-target catch while maintaining the catch of target species. I examine BRDs using a three-pronged assessment, whi...
Pollution Is Colonialism
In Pollution Is Colonialism Max Liboiron presents a framework for understanding scientific research methods as practices that can align with or against colonialism. They point out that even when researchers are working toward benevolent goals, environmental science and activism are often premised on a colonial worldview and access to land. Focusing on plastic pollution, the book models an anticolonial scientific practice aligned with Indigenous, particularly Métis, concepts of land, ethics, and relations. Liboiron draws on their work in the Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research (CLEAR)—an anticolonial science laboratory in Newfoundland, Canada—to illuminate how pollution is not a symptom of capitalism but a violent enactment of colonial land relations that claim access to Indigenous land. Liboiron's creative, lively, and passionate text refuses theories of pollution that make Indigenous land available for settler and colonial goals. In this way, their methodology demonstrates that anticolonial science is not only possible but is currently being practiced in ways that enact more ethical modes of being in the world.
Research Handbook on Climate Change, Oceans and Coasts
This topical Research Handbook examines the legal intersections of climate change, oceans and coasts across multiple scales and sectors, covering different geographies and regions. With expert contributions from Europe, Australasia, the Pacific, North America and Asia, it includes insightful chapters on issues ranging across the impacts of climate change on marine and coastal environments. It assesses institutional responses to climate change in ocean and marine governance regimes, adaptation to climate impacts on ocean and coastal systems and communities, and climate change mitigation in marine and coastal environments. Through a plurality of voices, disciplinary and geographical perspectives, this Research Handbook explores cross-cutting themes of institutional complexity, fragmentation, scale and design trade-offs.
