Climate Change as a Security Risk
Without resolute counteraction, climate change will overstretch many societies' adaptive capacities within the coming decades. This could result in destabilization and violence, jeopardizing national and international security to a new degree. However, climate change could also unite the international community. This is provided that we recognize climate change as a threat to humankind and so set the course for adopting a dynamic and globally coordinated climate policy. If we fail to do so, climate change will draw ever-deeper lines of division and conflict in international relations, triggering numerous conflicts between and within countries over the distribution of resources - especially w...
Rust Red
In den 90er Jahren entwickelte der Landschaftsarchitekt Peter Latz mit seinem Team einen Park jenseits aller modischen Trends. Mit Bildern, Skizzen, Plänen und Erläuterungen bietet der Band Einblicke in 12 Jahre des Planens und Realisierens und eröffnet dem Leser die faszinierende Welt, die der Industrie folgt. Der Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord ist eines der international bemerkenswertesten Beispiele, wie mit Hinterlassenschaften der Industrie intelligent und ansprechend umgegangen werden kann. Die Vision für den Park ist im Wesentlichen losgelöst von einer Leitidee der Gartenkunst, der Ästhetisierung land- und forstwirtschaftlicher Organisationsmuster. An ihre Stelle rückt das informationsreiche Geflecht urbaner Infrastruktur und Industrie. Peter Latz legt in diesem Buch sein Wissen und seine Erfahrungen zu diesem einmaligen Projekt umfassend dar. Beiträge namhafter Beteiligter ergänzen den Blick von unterschiedlicher Warte.
New Structures for Global Environmental Policy
International institutions and structures are crucial to the management of the global environment. The present arrangements are failing to cope adequately with the scale of the task and the demands placed on them, and alternatives are urgently needed. In this second volume of World in Transition, experts in the German Advisory Council on Global Change (WGBU) analyze the problems and set out comprehensive and persuasive policies for a successful future regime. Central to the future, it argues, will be a strengthened and more effective UN Environment Programme within an alliance organized around three main objectives of assessment, organization and funding.

Future Bioenergy and Sustainable Land Use
Because of the major opportunities and risks associated with it, and the complexity of the subject, bioenergy policy has in a short time become a challenging political task for regulators and planners – a task that can only be accomplished through worldwide cooperation and the creation of an international framework. This book's central message is that the sustainable potential of bioenergy, which can be tapped all over the world, should be utilized – provided that threats to sustainability are avoided. In particular, the use of bioenergy must not endanger food security or the goals of nature conservation and climate change mitigation.
