“Green buildings” that slash energy use and carbon emissions are all the rage, but they aren’t enough. The hidden culprit is embodied carbon?the carbon emitted when materials are mined, manufactured, and transported?comprising some ten percent of global emissions.

Summary:
“Green buildings” that slash energy use and carbon emissions are all the rage, but they aren’t enough. The hidden culprit is embodied carbon?the carbon emitted when materials are mined, manufactured, and transported?comprising some ten percent of global emissions. With the built environment doubling by 2030, buildings are a carbon juggernaut threatening to overwhelm the climate. Like never before in history, buildings can become part of the climate solution. With biomimicry and innovation, we can pull huge amounts of carbon out of the atmosphere and lock it up as walls, roofs, foundations, and insulation. We can literally make buildings out of the sky with a massive positive impact.

Summary:
"Regeneration" offers a visionary new approach to climate change, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, equity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation. It is the first book to describe and define the burgeoning regeneration movement spreading rapidly throughout the world. "Regeneration" describes how an inclusive movement can engage the majority of humanity to save the world from the threat of global warming, with climate solutions that directly serve our children, the poor, and the excluded. This means we must address current human needs, not future existential threats, real as they are, with initiatives that include but go well beyond solar, electric vehicles, and tree planting to include such solutions as the fifteen-minute city, bioregions, azolla fern, food localization, fire ecology, decommodification, forests as farms, and the number one solution for the world: electrifying everything. Paul Hawken and the nonprofit Regeneration Organization are launching a series of initiatives to accompany the book, including a streaming video series, curriculum, podcasts, teaching videos, and climate action software. "Regeneration" is the inspiring and necessary guide to inform the rapidly spreading climate movement.

Summary:
By changing our collective relationship with the planet, global warming has transformed the artist’s gaze. Curator Nicolas Bourriaud invites artists from around the world to question the contemporaneity of the Romantic concept of the sublime in the age of the Anthropocene. Today, the sublime, grounded in the connection between humans and nature, takes a new turn, defined as a feeling of ''delight tinged with horror''. The contrast between the individual and immensity thus becomes the aesthetic notion that determines our age. Bourriaud’s exhibition takes place in three acts: every exhibition is a forest; Charles Darwin and the coral reefs; and the tragic death of Nauru Island.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage discute des transformations dans la gouvernance et la planification urbaine en contexte de changements climatiques, à partir d’une friche urbaine en réaménagement à Montréal. Lachine-Est est un espace de multiples expérimentations évoluant en parallèle, parfois en convergence ou en porte-à-faux, qui permettent de comprendre les enjeux de l’adaptation et de la gouvernance partagée à Montréal et ailleurs. Dans ses trois parties – transformer la gouvernance urbaine, l’urbanisme, l’intervention urbaine –, l’ambition est de sortir l’adaptation aux changement s climatiques des cadres trop étroits qui limitent sa portée. En plus des analyses issues de la recherche-action du Labo Climat Montréal, l’ouvrage propose des voix plurielles, avec des perspectives citoyennes, communautaires et de planificateurs. Le livre met l’accent sur un moteur d’ambitions renouvelées dans l’adaptation aux changements climatiques : des expérimentations de concertation. Il est question du développement de dispositifs de travail concerté rassemblant des acteurs peu habitués à travailler ensemble, dans des institutions et hors de celles-ci, avec un plus grand partage de pouvoirs, ainsi que la construction de sens et de leviers collectifs pour agir.
