Drawdown: het meest veelomvattende plan ooit om klimaatontwrichting te keren

A radically new understanding of and practical approach to climate change by noted environmentalist Paul Hawken, creator of the New York Times bestseller Drawdown<BR><BR>Regeneration offers a visionary new approach to climate change, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, equity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation. It is the first book to describe and define the burgeoning regeneration movement spreading rapidly throughout the world.<BR> <BR>Regeneration describes how an inclusive movement can engage the majority of humanity to save the world from the threat of global warming, with climate solutions that directly serve our children, the poor, and the excluded. This means we must address current human needs, not future existential threats, real as they are, with initiatives that include but go well beyond solar, electric vehicles, and tree planting to include such solutions as the fifteen-minute city, bioregions, azolla fern, food localization, fire ecology, decommodification, forests as farms, and the number one solution for the world: electrifying everything.<BR> <BR>Paul Hawken and the nonprofit Regeneration Organization are launching a series of initiatives to accompany the book, including a streaming video series, curriculum, podcasts, teaching videos, and climate action software. Regeneration is the inspiring and necessary guide to inform the rapidly spreading climate movement.

A journey into the world of carbon, the most versatile element on the planet, by the New York Times bestselling author Paul Hawken<BR><BR>Carbon is the only element that animates the entirety of the living world. Though comprising a tiny fraction of Earth’s composition, our planet is lifeless without it. Yet it is maligned as the driver of climate change, scorned as an errant element blamed for the possible demise of civilization.<BR><BR>Here, Paul Hawken looks at the flow of life through the lens of carbon. Embracing a panoramic view of carbon’s omnipresence, he explores how this ubiquitous and essential element extends into every aperture of existence and shapes the entire fabric of life. Hawken charts a course across our planetary history, guiding us into the realms of plants, animals, insects, fungi, food, and farms to offer a new narrative for embracing carbon’s life-giving power and its possibilities for the future of human endeavor.<BR><BR>In this stirring, hopeful, and deeply humane book, Hawken illuminates the subtle connections between carbon and our collective human experience and asks us to see nature, carbon, and ourselves as exquisitely intertwined—inseparably connected.

Was wäre, wenn Kohlenstoff nicht unser Feind, sondern unser größter Verbündeter ist?Paul Hawkens Kohlenstoff - Das verkannte Element präsentiert eine neue, unvoreingenommene Perspektive, welche die gängige Wahrnehmung des "Klimaschädlings" infrage stellt. Der renommierte Umweltschützer erkundet, wie das Element in jede Pore unserer Existenz vordringt und das gesamte Gewebe des Lebens formt. Das Buch führt uns durch Pflanzen-, Tier- und Pilzreiche und zeigt: Kohlenstoff ist die fundamentale Lebenskraft - Grundstein aller lebensfähigen chemischen Verbindungen, zentraler Motor des atmosphärischen Kreislaufs und essenzieller Baustein für technische Innovationen. Hawken erkundet Habitate von Menschen, Vögeln und Insekten und zeigt in seiner unnachahmlich poetischen und mitreißenden Sprache, wie wir unser Verhältnis zur Natur reparieren können. Ein intelligentes, Neugier weckendes und hoffnungsvolles Buch.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER<BR><BR>For the first time ever, an international coalition of leading researchers, scientists and policymakers has come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. All of the techniques described here - some well-known, some you may have never heard of - are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are already enacting them. From revolutionizing how we produce and consume food to educating girls in lower-income countries, these are all solutions which, if deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, could not just slow the earth's warming, but reach drawdown: the point when greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere peak and begin todecline. So what are we waiting for?
