Naša (klimatická) zmena
Príručka pre tých, čo sa nechcú len prizerať.
Stojíme na prahu zmeny a uprostred najza´vazˇnejsˇej kri´zy, aku´ lˇudstvo zazˇilo. Ešte dnes máme šancu ju ovplyvniť, ale nesmieme strácať čas.
Čo mám urobiť? Ako sa mám zapojiť? Ako môžem pomôcť pri riešení klimatickej krízy? Tieto otázky trápia mnohých, ktorým nie je ľahostajná budúcnosť života na zemi a odpovede na ne hľadá práve kniha Naša (klimatická) zmena.
Aj keď k riešeniu môže prispieť každý z nás, neočakávajte návody na domáce kompostovanie alebo vegánsku kuchyňu, aj keď niekoľko rád ako zmeniť svoju domácnosť či život v knihe objavíte. Naším spoločným najdôležitejším nástrojom na riešenie klimatickej krízy však je občianska spoločnosť. A tak táto kniha je o tom, aká vážna je klimatická kríza, čo máme robiť, aby sme skutočne efektívne pomohli pri jej riešení, a ako sa môže zapojiť každý z nás.
Net Zero: How We Stop Causing Climate Change
What can we really do about the climate emergency? The inconvenient truth is that we are causing the climate crisis with our carbon intensive lifestyles and that fixing - or even just slowing - it will affect all of us. But it can be done. In Net Zero the economist Professor Dieter Helm addresses the action we would all need to take, whether personal, local, national or global, if we really wanted to stop causing climate change. Net Zero is Professor Dieter Helm's measured, balanced view of how we stop causing climate change by adopting a net zero strategy of reducing carbon emissions and increasing carbon absorption. It is a rational look at why the past 30 years efforts has failed and why and how the next 30 years can succeed. It is a vital book for anyone who hears the clamour of Extinction Rebellion and other ecological activists, but wonders what they can actually do.

Tiché jaro
Jedna z nejvlivnějších knih dvacátého století, která odstartovala environmentální hnutí
Přicházející krize životního prostředí se ohlásila nenápadně — tichem. Tam, kde se po tisíciletí ozývaly spousty ptačích hlasů, najednou neznělo nic. Možná jen rachot práškovacího letadla. Píší se padesátá léta a američtí biologové začínají se znepokojením sledovat dopady průmyslu a intenzivního zemědělství na přírodu. Ubývá druhová pestrost, země je nemocná, mnohé změny se zdají být nevratné. Nikdo netuší, co to bude znamenat pro příští generace a přírodu samotnou.
Hlavní obavu v té době vzbuzuje masivní použití chemických postřiků — herbicidů, insekticidů, pesticidů — v čele s dnes už zakázanou látkou DDT. Bioložka Rachel Carsonová se proto pustila do výzkumu. A výsledná kniha, Tiché jaro, je mnohem víc než jen studií o dopadech zemědělské chemie na životní prostředí. Je brilantně napsaným svědectvím o tom, co ztrácíme, o lžích agroprůmyslu, voláním o pomoc a jiskrou, která zažehla zájem milionů lidí i politiků o stav a zdraví naší planety.

Půda a život civilizací
Není to tak dlouho, co jsme skoro všichni byli zemědělci. Vždyť ještě v roce 1900 žilo na venkově kolem 90 % evropského obyvatelstva. Možná proto se nás dotýká zastavování úrodné zemědělské půdy a s tíživým pocitem prožíváme sucho na polích a kůrovcovou kalamitu v lese. Zdálo by se, že z obojího můžeme vinit hlavně počasí, ale velkou roli sehrává i stav půd. Jsme si téměř jisti, že budoucí krajina bude vyžadovat návrat ke starým technikám péče o půdu a les, ale zároveň se neobejdeme bez nejnovějších technologií a experimentů se způsoby zavlažování, novými plodinami a lesními dřevinami. Zdravou a na přirozených základech spočívající přírodu tak začínáme potřebovat ne jako „ochranářský přepych“, ale abychom vůbec mohli žít v důstojném prostředí a neměli nouzi o vodu a potraviny. Nejedná se přitom jen o jídlo a dřevo, ale také o místní klima, kvalitu podzemních vod i pocit klidu a někdy i štěstí či krásy, jaký prožíváme v harmonické krajině.
Aplikovaná ekologie
Kniha sleduje vliv lidských aktivit souvisejících se zemědělstvím, lesnictvím, rybářstvím a lovem volně žijících živočichů na jednotlivé ekosystémy. Vychází z obecných ekologických principů a ukazuje, jak jsou aplikovány na výše zmíněné obory lidské činnosti, s ohledem na základní mechanismy jejich působení, ale i přírodní a společenské hybatele a globální aspekt jejich dopadů. Text kapitol je formulován i z historického a geografického hlediska a doplněn bohatým obrazovým doprovodem. Tato výjimečná publikace je určena jak široké odborné veřejnosti, tak studentům biologických a zemědělských oborů se zájmem o environmentální tematiku.

Budúcnosť, ktorú si vyberieme
Klimatická zmena je bez diskusie najnaliehavejší a najzávažnejší problém, s akým sa kedy ľudstvo stretlo. Náš prístup k nemu v nasledujúcich tridsiatich rokoch určí, v akom svete budeme žiť a aký ho odovzdáme našim deťom a ich deťom. Christiana Figueres a Tom Rivett-Carnac, ktorí v mene OSN viedli rokovania o historickej Parížskej dohode v roku 2015, napísali knihu plnú varovaní, ale aj nádeje o meniacej sa klíme a jej vplyve na ďalší osud ľudstva.
Pre našu planétu existujú podľa autorov knihy dva scenáre ďalšieho vývoja. V prvom z nich opisujú, ako by to na zemi vyzeralo v roku 2050, keby sme nesplnili klimatické ciele stanovené v Paríži. Druhý scenár vykresľuje život v uhlíkovo neutrálnom, regeneračnom svete. Klimatickej zmene - ako sa dočítate v knihe - treba čeliť so zdvihnutou hlavou, optimizmom a odhodlaním. Budúcnosť, ktorú si vyberieme nám ukazuje, aké máme možnosti a čo konkrétne musia zákonodarcovia, veľké firmy a každý z nás robiť, aby sme odvrátili katastrofu. Budúcnosť je v našich rukách.
"V živote sa mi do rúk dostalo iba málo takýchto inšpiratívnych kníh. Autori bez obalu predostierajú tvrdú realitu klimatickej zmeny, ale prichádzajú k záveru, že ľudstvo ešte vždy dokáže toto nebezpečenstvo odvrátiť. V existenciálnej hrozbe klimatickej zmeny vidia jedinečnú príležitosť vybudovať spravodlivejší svet a objaviť lepšiu stránku nás všetkých. A čo je vari najdôležitejšie: autori pristúpili k veci prakticky a zostavili zoznam desiatich konkrétnych krokov, ktoré môžeme urobiť, aby sme vybudovali lepší svet pre všetkých obyvateľov planéty Zem. Dúfam, že si vezmeme ich posolstvo k srdcu."
