Summary:
L’élevage accapare 77% des surfaces agricoles mondiales quand la pêche se déploie dans plus de la moitié des océans. L’un et l’autre sont sans conteste les principaux fossoyeurs de la biodiversité sauvage. Mais ils sont aussi en passe de devenir les tout premiers contributeurs du changement climatique : le secteur de la viande représente déjà près de 15% des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre, et la demande en produits d’élevage pourrait encore croître de 144% d’ici le milieu du siècle. Face à ce désastre, l’heure n’est plus à distinguer ou à opposer les pratiques industrielles et artisanales. En réalité, les deux se combinent sous l’effet d’un appétit insatiable de protéines animales qui dévore la planète. Cette situation critique place chacun face à ses responsabilités. Alors qu’émergent des alternatives attractives à la consommation carnée, citoyens, agriculteurs, collectivités, entreprises et gouvernements ont désormais le pouvoir d’encourager une transition alimentaire respectueuse du vivant et déterminante pour la survie de l’humanité.

Summary:
In 1950, only 30 percent of the world's population lived in cities. By 2007, the planet's population has doubled, and today, as many people live in cities as populated the entire planet in 1950. Eighty percent of the planet's greenhouse gases are created by these energy-intensive urban centers. Thus, the key to creating climate change solutions resides with cities.(...)

Summary:
In 1950, only 30 percent of the world's population lived in cities. By 2007, the planet's population has doubled, and today, as many people live in cities as populated the entire planet in 1950. Eighty percent of the planet's greenhouse gases are created by these energy-intensive urban centers. Thus, the key to creating climate change solutions resides with cities. Author and Ottawa city councilor Clive Doucet provides a razor-sharp insider's perspective, stating his central theme: "It's not about planning. It's about politics." Climate change is proceeding so quickly not for lack of knowledge, but because politicians who deviate from the car-based sprawl model cannot get elected. Urban Meltdown describes how we got here, why we got here, and what can be done about it, as evidenced by the author's observations that: Economic growth has no built-in environmental accountability. Until the political thinking about growth and the progress model itself is changed, our environmental concerns will never be properly addressed. We need a new governance paradigm at all three levels. The cautionary tale of how the 1960s tried to take us down a different route failed, not for lack of leadership but because the system didn't permit it. Urban Meltdown reveals, castigates, and inspires. This is an important book for anyone who cares about thinking differently, acting differently, and making a difference. Clive Doucet is an urban activist, well-known journalist, best-selling author, and the first poet ever elected to Ottawa City Council.

Summary:
This important book tells the multifaceted story of humankind’s relationship with flooding, a story that is permeated with a history of both worship and fear. Modern water engineering has turned plains and valleys into fully inhabitable environments. At the same time, those environments have become highly vulnerable to climate change. In efforts to prevent future floods, countries are rediscovering adaptation strategies: making room for flooding, redistributing risks and reconsidering the use and legal status of floodplains. Through historical investigations and six contemporary projects implemented in four European countries, "Floodscapes" illustrates how flood-mitigation measures can be embedded in local space and culture. Merged with landscape development, agriculture, recreation, nature, and even urban growth, river management becomes a design issue, giving landscape architects and urban designers a prominent role in future transitions. This book provides an in-depth look into the most common natural disaster in the US, and the innovative solutions that have arisen.
