The book shows how our current fossil-fueled, auto-centered, throwaway economy is steadily destroying the very ecosystems that form the foundations of our lives. The great challenge we face in the next century is making the transition to a sustainable economy that reuses and recycles materials, is powered by renewable energy sources, and has a stable population. The authors argue that meeting this challenge will offer some of the greatest investment opportunities in history.

内容説明

SINCE SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, many governments have reasserted the centrality of traditional, military-focused security. Yet the aftermath of the ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq underlines once more that lasting security is not found in soldiers, bullets, and tanks. Security concerns are only in part about violent conflict, a worst-case outcome that results from a broad range of underlying vulnerabilities. World-watch offers a broader perspective on these issues by reaffirming the importance of other, less-publicized threats to global stability and security: the complex interactions between environmental degradation, poverty, and inequity; growing human populations; and the international proliferation of deadly weapons. Emphasizing the opportunities for creating a less vulnerable, more secure world, State of the World 2005 addresses a broad range of needed reforms, including those related to governance, economics, ethics, and education. With easy-to-read charts and tables, this volume presents a view of our changing world that we, and our leaders, cannot afford to ignore.

巻冊次

1997 : pbk ISBN 9780393315691

内容説明

In this fourteenth edition of State of the World, Lester R. Brown and the research team at Worldwatch take a realistic look at our progress toward sustainable development since the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. They find that some gains have been made in sustainability planning and in implementing the international convention to protect the stratospheric ozone layer, but that on balance the planet's broad trends of environmental and resource degradation persist. They describe the contracting base of grainland and climate change's threat to disrupt the ecological foundations of our global economy. They cite vividly, in the cases of Chiapas and Rwanda, why pervasive resource loss is at the root of the "new world disorder." State of the World 1997 argues that if these trends continue unabated, the pressure on the earth's natural limits will undermine food security - now already evident in the decline of marine fisheries and the shrinking grain harvest per person. Indeed, food scarcity may be the first major economic manifestation of our environmentally unsustainable global economy. To reverse this situation, State of the World 1997 calls for us to take urgent measures to build an environmentally sustainable economy, slow population growth, value the nonmonetary services nature provides, adopt the best of simpler and less consumptive lifestyles, and abandon tax-payer subsidies that encourage the consumption of natural resources such as water and fossil fuels.

内容説明

Growing evidence suggests that the global economy, rooted in ideas and assumptions that were progressive two hundred years ago, is now destroying its own ecological base and offering little to billions of impoverished people. In response, pioneers are creating the architecture of sustainable economies, one innovation at a time. State of the World 2008 describes these innovations-from microfinance to closed-loop manufacturing and the use of trusts to protect common resources-as well as identifying the obstacles that prevent a critical mass of people and organizations from moving toward sustainability, and rallying coalitions of stakeholders that can produce win-win solutions and strategies for achieving specific sustainability goals.

内容説明

The evidence continues to mount: melting ice caps, rising temperatures, increasingly frequent natural disasters. As the devastating effects of global warming come into sharper focus, societies must work to both mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to ongoing and inevitable climate change. The actions taken in the coming century will be critically important in determining whether or not we can salvage our environment. We cannot shrink from the overwhelming magnitude of climate change or the radical solutions it demands. The Worldwatch Institute's State of the World 2009 investigates a wide range of potential paths to change, including new technology, policy changes, consumption, and finance, with the ultimate goal of mobilizing humanity around climate change and revealing global warming as one of the truly great challenges of our time.

Chapters present innovative solutions to global environmental problems, focusing on institutions that are the principal engineers of culture, such as governments, the media, and religious organizations. Written in clear, concise language, with easy-to-read charts and tables, State of the World presents a view of our changing world that we, and our leaders, cannot afford to ignore.
