      Comment inverser le cours du réchauffement planétaire

      Nous savons qu'il nous reste peu de temps pour agir. Un nombre toujours plus important de scientifiques nous mettent en garde : dans quelques années, il sera trop tard. Le changement climatique menace de défaire le tissu social, de saper les fondations mêmes de la démocratie et de précipiter la disparition de nombreuses espèces. Dont l'être humain. Fort de cette urgence, Drawdown propose une feuille de route à l'usage des gouvernements, des territoires, des villes, des entreprises et de chacun d'entre nous. Plutôt que de baisser les bras, ce livre veut nous aider à surmonter la peur, la confusion et l'apathie, pour passer à l'acte. Drawdown désigne le point de bascule à partir duquel la concentration de gaz à effet de serre dans l'atmosphère, après avoir atteint un pic, se met à diminuer d'une année sur l'autre. L'objectif de ce livre est de nous aider à engager cette bascule. Pour y parvenir, Paul Hawken et soixante-dix chercheurs ont élaboré un plan inédit : quatre-vingts solutions pour inverser le cours du changement climatique. En décrivant leurs impacts positifs sur le monde financier, les relations sociales et l'environnement, ils nous enjoignent à organiser notre action : commencer par ce qui aura le plus d'impact et construire une stratégie globale. Nous disposons de tous les outils nécessaires, à nous de nous mettre au travail.

      In Findhorn, they grow 40-pound cabbages, 8-foot delphiniums, and roses that bloom in the snow. What is the source of this spectacular success? Experts have concluded that there must be some vital unknown at work, some extraordinarily powerful Factor X. What is this X? And why has this garden of plants now become a garden of people who—like the plants—flourish and visibly glow? Now, Paul Hawken, who went as a skeptic, tells us Findhorn may be a manifestation of light and power which could transform our planet within a lifetime.

      The NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA radically new understanding of and practical approach to climate change by noted environmentalist and creator of Drawdown, Paul HawkenThe dangers of climate change and a warming world have been in the public eye for fifty years. For three decades, scientists and the United Nations have urged us to address future existential threats. In Regeneration Paul Hawken has flipped the narrative, bringing people back into the conversation by demonstrating that addressing current human needs rather than future threats is the only path to solving the climate crisis.From land to ocean, food to industries - Regeneration proposes an extensive menu of actions that collectively can reverse the overheating and degradation of our planet. The solutions, techniques, and practices range from solar power, electric vehicles, and tree planting to bioregions, azolla fern and forest farms; they are all doable, science-based, and comprise a precise and unequivocal course of action.Whether you are an individual, community focused or a national government, Regeneration is a call to arms to mobilise and create a better future for ourselves on this planet.

      The New York Times bestselling examination of the worldwide movement for social and environmental change Paul Hawken has spent more than a decade researching organizations dedicated to restoring the environment and fostering social justice. From billion-dollar nonprofits to single-person dot.causes, these groups collectively comprise the largest movement on earth, a movement that has no name, leader, or location and that has gone largely ignored by politicians and the media. Blessed Unrest explores the diversity of the movement, its brilliant ideas, innovative strategies, and centuries of hidden history. A culmination of Hawken's many years of leadership in the environmental and social justice fields, it will inspire all who despair of the world's fate, and its conclusions will surprise even those within the movement itself.

      Stellen Sie sich eine Welt vor, in der selbst kleinste Flächen – wie verlassene Parkplätze oder vergessene Ecken – sich in dichte, lebendige Wälder verwandeln können. Diese Wälder wachsen in wenigen Jahren, reinigen die Luft, kühlen die Umgebung und bieten Lebensraum für zahlreiche Tiere und Pflanzen. Die bewährte Miyawaki-Methode macht dies möglich. Sie ermöglicht es, Miniwälder in nur 10 Jahren zu schaffen, während ein herkömmlicher Wald dafür 100 Jahre benötigt. Der japanische Botaniker Dr. Akira Miyawaki entwickelte eine Methode, die auf kleinstem Raum nachhaltige und widerstandsfähige Wälder entstehen lässt. Durch die gezielte Auswahl einheimischer Pflanzen, dichte Bepflanzung und intensive Pflege gedeihen Miniwälder bis zu zehnmal schneller als herkömmliche Wälder. Sie bieten nicht nur Lebensraum für Vögel und Insekten, sondern auch Vorteile für uns Menschen: Sie reduzieren Lärm, speichern Wasser und verbessern das Mikroklima. Weltweit entstehen Miniwälder in urbanen Zentren, Schulen und Wohngebieten. Das Buch nimmt Sie mit auf eine inspirierende Reise zu Projekten und zeigt, wie Sie selbst einen Miniwald anlegen können – im eigenen Garten, auf Firmengeländen oder gemeinsam mit Ihrer Gemeinde. Es ist ein Aufruf zum Handeln und eine Einladung, die Natur zurück in unser Leben zu holen. Machen Sie mit und starten Sie Ihre eigene Miniwald-Revolution!
