The world of climate politics is increasingly no longer confined to the activities of national governments and international negotiations. Critical to this transformation of the politics of climate change has been the emergence of new forms of transnational governance that cut across traditional state-based jurisdictions and operate across public and private divides. This book provides the first comprehensive, cutting-edge account of the world of transnational climate change governance. Co-authored by a team of the world''s leading experts in the field and based on a survey of sixty case studies, the book traces the emergence, nature and consequences of this phenomenon, and assesses the implications for the field of global environmental politics. It will prove invaluable for researchers, graduate students and policy makers in climate change, political science, international relations, human geography, sociology and ecological economics.

Der freche Fritz zündet im Keller des Hochhauses, in dem sein Vater der Hausmeister ist, eine vergessene Rakete, und die saust nun mit Wunderkraft durch alle zwanzig Stockwerke. Was sie dabei anrichtet, hat sich Peter Newell ausgedacht und mit lustigen Bildern versehen.

Naps of Polly Sleepyhead comic anthology by Peter Newell in 1906.

A timeless classic, Topsys and Turvys Number 2 is the perfect interactive book for people of all ages. It''s been 120 years since Peter Newell''s enduringly popular Topsys and Turvys 2—the sequel to his bestselling Topsy and Turvys—was first published in the United States. Using the same ingenious style and imagination, he invents worlds of confusion and fun as he transforms hunters into bears, has a buffalo converse with a tree frog, or creates and illustrates pure nonsense. The story changes depending on whether you are holding the action book "upside-down" or "right-side-up." These beautiful classic books reproduce all of the brilliant color and charm of the originals while ensuring that Topsys and Turvys can be shared and enjoyed anew by future generations. Peter Newell (1862-1924) began his career as an artist drawing portraits, using crayons as his medium. In his fantastic humor, many believe, is the first appearance of the gentle comedy of the absurd which The New Yorker has subsequently developed to such a high level. Tuttle Publishing has kept Newell''s retro books in print for the new generation to enjoy a whimsical, thought-provoking look at life.

Quirky, clever, and marvelously inventive, this book takes the reader into a world of imagination and adventure. Peter Newell utilizes a unique cartoon art form that the reader perceives as an optical illusion. Each illustration is supported by a caption that turns each page into loads of fun. Each page will delight the reader with a new and uniquely illustrated story that tells its tale right-side up and upside down. It provides as much entertainment for adults as it does for the children for whom it was created. Topsys & Turvys Book 2 also available from Tuttle Publishing.

Le capitalisme est-il en mesure d’apporter une réponse aux défis du changement climatique ? Peut-on imaginer un capitalisme d’un genre différent, capable d’assurer la croissance économique tout en étant moins dépendant des énergies fossiles ? Si oui, comment y parvenir ? Ce sont les questions ambitieuses que pose cet ouvrage. Il ne s’agit pas seulement des technologies ou des mesures envisageables pour aborder ces défis. Il est surtout question de stratégie, de politique et de pouvoir, et de savoir comment amener les intérêts en jeu et les acteurs détenteurs du pouvoir à converger vers une transformation des modes de développement. Climat et capitalisme montre que des choses nouvelles et surprenantes sont en train d’émerger en matière de politique climatique. L’ouvrage explore le processus de « décarbonisation » de l’économie, dans sa logique et sa complexité. Etant donné la domination du capitalisme et des idéologies libérales, cette décarbonisation dépendra de la création de marchés du carbone auxquels s’associeront les principaux acteurs de l’économie mondiale. L’ouvrage étudie les dilemmes que cela pose, ainsi que la nécessité de remettre en question le pouvoir de nombreux acteurs sur les marchés, la culture de l’énergie et les inégalités mondiales en matière de consommation énergétique. L''ouvrage s’adresse à tous ceux qui souhaitent mieux comprendre les enjeux des défis climatiques et plus particulièrement aux étudiants et chercheurs dans les domaines de l’environnement, du développement et des relations internationales.

Explores how we should react to the political dilemmas of adapting the global economy to confront climate change.

Governing Climate Change provides a short and accessible introduction to how climate change is governed by an increasingly diverse range of actors, from civil society and market actors to multilateral development banks, donors and cities. The issue of global climate change has risen to the top of the international political agenda. Despite ongoing contestation about the science informing policy, the economic costs of action and the allocation of responsibility for addressing the issue within and between nations, it is clear that climate change will continue to be one of the most pressing and challenging issues facing humanity for many years to come. The book: evaluates the role of states and non-state actors in governing climate change at multiple levels of political organisation: local, national and global provides a discussion of theoretical debates on climate change governance, moving beyond analytical approaches focused solely on nation-states and international negotiations examines a range of key topical issues in the politics of climate change includes multiple examples from both the north and the global south. Providing an inter-disciplinary perspective drawing on geography, politics, international relations and development studies, this book is essential reading for all those concerned not only with the climate governance but with the future of the environment in general.

Several hundred directives on environmental policy have been produced by the European Union. What impact has the output of this "legislative factory" had? After considering how decisions on environmental policy in the EU are made and the balance of power between business and environmental interests, this book looks in depth at the areas of global warming, water pollution, and air pollution.

This volume provides a challenging explanation of the forces that have shaped the international global warming debate. It takes a novel approach to the subject by concentrating on the ways non-state actors--such as scientific, environmental and industry groups, as opposed to governmental organizations--affect political outcomes in global fora on climate change. It also provides insights into the role of the media in influencing the agenda. The book draws on a range of analytical approaches to assess and explain the influence of these nongovernmental organizations on the course of global climate politics. The book will be of interest to all researchers and policy makers associated with climate change, and will be used in university courses in international relations, politics, and environmental studies.
