Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Climate change presents significant ethical, political, economic, and technical challenges. While the global community has made initial efforts to tackle these issues, much more action is required. The Kyoto Protocol, established in 1997, mandates that industrialized nations reduce emissions by an average of 5% below 1990 levels during the first commitment period (2008-2012). Most developing nations and nearly all industrialized countries have ratified the Protocol, with Australia and the United States as exceptions. With the first commitment period nearing its end, the international community faces the urgent task of determining the appropriate policies and commitments necessary to reverse greenhouse gas emissions and assist nations in adapting to climate change's inevitable impacts. This book delves into the essential policy matters that must be addressed in upcoming negotiations for a post-2012 climate treaty, focusing on the implications for New Zealand, particularly in the energy, agricultural, and forestry sectors. It draws from a series of roundtable discussions held in mid-2007, sponsored by New Zealand government department executives and involving around 120 participants from various stakeholder groups and sectors. Contributors include notable experts such as Ralph Chapman, Pamela Chasek, and Adrian Macey.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 336 pages. The debate on the science is over. Climate change is real; it is happening ev en faster than previously thought and it is powerfully influenced by human activ ities. As events like Hurricane Katrina, the shrinking of the ice-caps and the c alamitous 2003 European heatwave remind us, climate change is not a future threa t: it already profoundly affects the world we live in. Scientific evidence shows that dangerous climate change can only be averted through concerted global acti on - not in 30 years' time, but over the coming decade. Bold policies, informed public debate and decisive political leadership are critical, yet many countries - New Zealand among them - have been slow to act. With contributions by more th an 30 leading scientists and policy experts, from New Zealand and elsewhere, thi s book will increase public understanding about climate change and help to devel op robust, effective policies. It presents the latest scientific evidence, exami nes the likely impacts of climate change on New Zealand and the Pacific, and out lines a range of policy solutions. It is based on a major Climate Change and Gov ernance Conference held in Wellington in March 2006. The overwhelming message is one of urgency, but also optimism: it is not too late to make a difference.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 388 pages. Population ageing, both globally and in New Zealand, is often seen in negativ e terms, alongside economic and political instability, disease and environmental threats. But it can also be viewed positively - as an opportunity, an achieveme nt of human civilisation and thus something to celebrate. Either way, there can be little doubt that population ageing will have important economic and social i mplications during the coming decades; hence, the subject deserves careful scrut iny. The contributors to the 14 chapters in this volume explore New Zealands cha nging demography and examine the many and varied policy implications of populati on aging, including those impinging on fiscal management, income support, the la bour market, health care, housing and social services. The crucial message is th at while population ageing undoubtedly poses serious challenges - for individual s, families, communities and the state - it also generates many opportunities an d possibilities. It will be critically important to New Zealands long-term econo mic and social success for policy makers to recognise and grasp these opportunit ies.…
