http://www.worldfuturecouncil.org/a_renewable_world.html"The post-Copenhagen world requires a fresh look at the big picture. In the absence of international agreements, what steps can be taken nationally, regionally and locally to reduce both carbon emissions and carbon concentrations? The former can be achieved through a transformation in energy production, saving and use, and the latter through biological carbon sequestration. This book sets out examples of these strategies, in policy and practice, from around the world. In addition, the essential question of the active participation of all sectors of society in this transformation is considered through examples of existing initiatives, and the wider issue of democratic reform...."
The book probes questions such as these:
How can we decarbonize the global economy by implementing enabling policies and business practices as well as changes in personal behaviour patterns?
How can we make clean, efficient, renewable and decentralized energy the basis for a new, sustainable global economy?
How can we prevent run-away climate change, assure secure livelihoods for all, and restore the world's natural life- support systems?
