The values of international organizations
From the United Nations to the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, the principles of international organizations affect all of our lives. The principles these organizations live by represent, at least in part, the principles all of us live by. This book quantifies international organizations’ affiliation with particular principles in their constitutions, like cooperation, peace and equality. Offering a sophisticated statistical and legal analysis of these principles, the authors reveal the values contained in international organizations’ constitutions and their relationship with one another. When these organizations are divided into groups, like regional versus universal organizations, many new, seemingly contradictory, interpretations of international organizations law emerge. Through elaborate network representations, radar charters, k-clusters analyses and scatter plots, this book offers an unprecedented insight into the principles and values of international organizations.
Society And Climate: Transformations And Challenges
Climate has for a long time been a taken-for-granted background against which social, political and economic interactions have taken place. But this taken-for-granted background is cleaving. It is becoming hard to ignore the potential repercussions of a changing climate, and the uneven impact of certain forms of human society and energy cultures that risk undermining their own environmental conditions.In a comprehensive and accessible way, this book:Drawing on the insights of various disciplines and citing numerous examples, Society and Climate probes the interplay between society, science and climate, and warns against making any easy assumptions.
SOCIETÀ E CLIMA Trasformazioni e cambiamenti
Il clima è ormai al centro della discussione sociale politica ed economica mondiale. Sta infatti diventando difficile ignorare le potenziali ripercussioni di un cambiamento climatico. Con un linguaggio accessibile a tutti questo libro, attingendo a varie discipline e citando numerosi esempi, analizza l’interazione tra società, scienza e clima e mette in guardia dalle conseguenze dei futuri cambiamenti climatici.
Le Grenelle de l'environnement
Le Grenelle de l'environnement est un processus politique lancé par la majorité issue de l'élection présidentielle de 2007. Il réunit des acteurs du développement durable représentant l'État, les entreprises, les salariés, les collectivités territoriales et les associations de défense de l'environnement. Encensé lors de son déroulement à la fois en raison de l'originalité de sa méthode et de la hardiesse de certaines de ses propositions, le Grenelle de l'Environnement est aujourd'hui souvent accusé d'avoir renoncé à ses ambitions dans un contexte politique ou la volonté de trouver des solutions à la crise environnementale semble à nouveau faire défaut. Si le Grenelle a...
Gesellschaft und Klima
Das vorliegende Buch verdeutlicht die hochgradige Komplexität des Verhältnisses von Gesellschaft, Wissenschaft und Klima. Die Tatsache des Klimawandels erfordert eine multidisziplinäre Herangehensweise, die die Vernetzung der drei Systeme erfasst. Es gilt zu erkennen, dass einerseits das Klima soziale, politische und wirtschaftliche Interaktionen prägt, es andererseits jedoch selbst von sozialen Strukturen, technologischen Praktiken und Energiekulturen beeinflusst wird. Dies ist von besonderer Relevanz in einer Zeit, in der die Klimawissenschaften unter Druck stehen, und zwar sowohl von der breiten Öffentlichkeit als auch von den politischen Entscheidungsträgern. Nicht zuletzt deswegen warnen Nico Stehr und Amanda Machin, ausgehend von den Erkenntnissen verschiedener Disziplinen und anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen, vor einfachen Annahmen und Antworten.
Transforming Multilateral Diplomacy
Transforming Multilateral Diplomacy provides the inside view of the negotiations that produced the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Not only did this process mark a sea change in how the UN conducts multilateral diplomacy, it changed the way the UN does its business. This book tells the story of the people, issues, negotiations, and paradigm shifts that unfolded through the Open Working Group (OWG) on SDGs and the subsequent negotiations on the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, from the unique point of view of Ambassador Macharia Kamau, and other key participants from governments, the UN Secretariat, and civil society.
NGO Diplomacy
Provides an analytical framework for assessing the impact of NGOs on intergovernmental negotiations on the environment and identifying the factors that determine the degree of NGO influence, with case studies that apply the framework to negotiations on climate change, biosafety, desertification, whaling, and forests. Over the past thirty years nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have played an increasingly influential role in international negotiations, particularly on environmental issues. NGO diplomacy has become, in the words of one organizer, an “international experiment in democratizing intergovernmental decision making.” But there has been little attempt to determine the condition...
Earth System Governance
A new model for effective global environmental governance in an era of human-caused planetary transformation and disruption. Humans are no longer spectators who need to adapt to their natural environment. Our impact on the earth has caused changes that are outside the range of natural variability and are equivalent to such major geological disruptions as ice ages. Some scientists argue that we have entered a new epoch in planetary history: the Anthropocene. In such an era of planet-wide transformation, we need a new model for planet-wide environmental politics. In this book, Frank Biermann proposes “earth system” governance as just such a new paradigm. Biermann offers both analytical and...
