Summary:
Global climate change calls for swift, decisive measures, particularly from the world's metropolises. But how can cities ensure that urgently needed strategies are enacted, forging a path to a post-fossil fuel, post-atomic energy era? Using one district in Hamburg, Germany, as an example, Energy Atlas investigates how it might provide a model for future sustainability.

Summary:
In a climate with dramatic shifts in temperature and light, the homes of Nordic countries respond to ever-changing environments with an intrinsic sense of warmth. Nordic architects today are as much informed by vernacular traditions and natural materials as their forebears, but the most recent generation of practitioners reflects a new appetite for spatial exploration and(...)

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.

Summary:
In the fall of 2009, The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 selected five interdisciplinary teams of architects, engineers and landscape designers to propose solutions to the effects of climate change on New York's waterfront. The resulting proposals, exhibited at MoMA in 2010 in the exhibition "Rising Currents: Projects for New York's Waterfront," emphasize "soft" infrastructure interventions that would make New York City and its surrounding areas more ecologically sound and more resilient in responding to rising sea levels and storm surges. These innovative projects include the creation of salt- and freshwater wetlands, a Venice-like aqueous landscape, habitable piers and man-made islands, and a protective reef of living oysters. Published to document the exhibition, "Rising Currents: Projects for New York's Waterfront" presents these five projects in detail through essays that summarize the innovative workshop and exhibition, the dialogues they engendered with outside experts and political figures involved in regional planning, and the climate change and urban planning implications of the proposed solutions.

Summary:
Becoming Water takes the reader on a tour of Canada’s glaciers, describing the stories they tell and educating the reader about how glaciers came to be, how they work and what their future holds in our warming world. By visiting Canada’s high and low Arctic and the mountain West, the reader will learn how varied and complex our glaciers really are, how they are measured and how they figure into the national and global story of inevitable change. The reader will learn to think like a scientist, in particular how to look at climate-related data that contains cycles, trends and shifts, and then ponder what questions to ask in the face of our dramatically changing environment. This book encourages Canadians to explore upstream from ourselves, learning about our origins and how climate change and encroaching human settlement are drastically affecting our glaciers and therefore the natural and human landscapes that lie below—and are dependent upon—them.
