Описание: Shoulder to Shoulder tells the stories of five on-going environmental and social justice campaigns powered by ordinary people.
We face a stark reality - nearly 8 billion people living on a planet without the resources needed to ensure a better life for future generations. Transformative Markets is a roadmap for turning the outdated markets of today into powerhouses for driving the innovation of sustainable goods and services that create value for everyone.
In Transformative Markets: Harnessing the Power of Markets for a More Sustainable Future, you will learn:
How executives, policymakers, industry experts, and financiers can use "big data" to understand the dynamics of collaborative efforts of people and organizations across the economy; thereby accelerating the development of markets for sustainable goods and services - such as solar power and clothing made from recycled fabric.
Why "trust" is so important in creating sustainable markets and those that have been identified as the most trusted individuals in creating sustainable markets.
Why the gas-guzzling Hummer SUV of 2005 is being transformed into the Hummer EV of today - an electric powered, zero emission, SUV.
Why we must urgently of escape the trap of "short-termism" and instead accelerate the making of products that generate lasting value for society.
What you, as an individual consumer, can do to create markets for sustainable products.

Curating the Future: Museums, Communities and Climate Change explores the way museums tackle the broad global issue of climate change. It explores the power of real objects and collections to stir hearts and minds, to engage communities affected by change.
Museums work through exhibitions, events, and specific collection projects to reach different communities in different ways. The book emphasises the moral responsibilities of museums to address climate change, not just by communicating science but also by enabling people already affected by changes to find their own ways of living with global warming.
There are museums of natural history, of art and of social history. The focus of this book is the museum communities, like those in the Pacific, who have to find new ways to express their culture in a new place. The book considers how collections in museums might help future generations stay in touch with their culture, even where they have left their place. It asks what should the people of the present be collecting for museums in a climate-changed future? The book is rich with practical museum experience and detailed projects, as well as critical and philosophical analyses about where a museum can intervene to speak to this great conundrum of our times. Curating the Future is essential reading for all those working in museums and grappling with how to talk about climate change. It also has academic applications in courses of museology and museum studies, cultural studies, heritage studies, digital humanities, design, anthropology, and environmental humanities.
Описание: A practical, bipartisan call to action from the world's leading thinkers on the environment and sustainability
Sustainability has emerged as a global priority over the past several years. The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change and the adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals through the United Nations have highlighted the need to address critical challenges, like the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, water shortages, and air pollution. But in the United States, partisan divides, regional disputes, and deep disagreements over core principles have made it nearly impossible to chart a course toward a sustainable future.
This timely new book, edited by celebrated scholar Daniel C. Esty, offers fresh thinking and forward-looking solutions from environmental thought leaders across the political spectrum. The book's forty essays cover such subjects as ecology, environmental justice, Big Data, public health, and climate change, all with an emphasis on sustainability. This book focuses on moving toward sustainability through actionable, bipartisan approaches based on rigorous analytical research.
