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."

How to Protect the Planet You Love: A thousand ways to solve the climate crisis: from tech-utopia to indigenous wisdom
Optimism demands action. Optimism is an active choice. Optimism is not naive and it is not impossible.
We are living in an age of turmoil, destruction and uncertainty. Global warming has reached terrifying heights of severity, human expansion has caused the extinction of countless species, and Neoliberalism has led to a destructive divide in wealth and a polarisation of mainstream politics. But, there is a constructive way to meet this challenge, there is a reason to keep on fighting and there are plenty of reasons for optimism.
Lily Cole has met with some of the millions of people around the world who are working on solutions to our biggest challenges and committed to creating a more sustainable and peaceful future for humanity. Exploring issues from fast fashion to fast food and renewable energy to gender equality, and featuring interviews with Stella McCartney and Elon Musk, to activists Extinction Rebellion co-founder Dr Gail Bradbrook and Farhana Yamin, to offer a beacon of possibility in challenging times.
This book is a rousing call to action that will leave you feeling hopeful that we can make a difference. We are the ancestors of our future: a generation who will either be celebrated for its activism or blamed for its apathy. It is for us to choose optimism, to make a change and to show what is possible.
A Trillion Trees
Trees keep our planet cool and breathable. They make the rain and sustain biodiversity. They are essential for nature and for us. And yet, we are cutting and burning them at such a rate that many forests are fast approaching tipping points beyond which they will simply shrivel and die. But there is still time, and there is still hope. If we had a trillion more trees, the damage could be undone. So should we get planting? Not so fast. Fred Pearce argues in this inspiring new book that we can have our forests back, but mass planting should be a last resort. Instead, we should mostly stand back, make room and let nature -- and those who dwell in the forests -- do the rest.
Taking us from the barren sites of illegal logging and monocrop farming to the smouldering rainforests of the Amazon, Fred Pearce tells a revelatory new history of the relationship between humans and trees - and shows us how we can change it for the better. Here we meet the pilot who discovered flying rivers, the village elders who are farming amid the trees, and the scientists challenging received wisdom. And we visit some of the world's most wondrous treescapes, from the orchid-rich moutaintops of Ecuador to the gnarled and ancient glades of the South Downs.
Combining vivid travel writing with cutting edge science, A Trillion Trees is both an environmental call to arms and a celebration of our planet's vast arboreal riches.

Fire Storm and Flood The violence of climate change
An unflinching photographic record of the epic effects of a violent climate, from the earliest extinction events to the present. Violent geologic events have ravaged the Earth since time began, spanning the vast eons of our planet's existence. These seismic phenomena have scored their marks in rock strata and been reflected in fossil records for future humanity to excavate and ponder. For most of the preceeding 78,000 years Homo sapiens simply observed natural climate upheaval. One hundred years ago, however, industrialization stunningly changed the rules, so that now most climate change is driven by us.
Fire, Storm and Flood is an unflinching photographic record of the epic effects of a violent climate, from the earliest extinction events to the present, in which we witness climate chaos forced by unnatural global warming. It uses often emotional and moving imagery to drive home the enormity of climatic events, offering a sweeping acknowledgment of our crowded planet's heartbreaking vulnerability and show-stopping beauty.
Jak zabránit klimatické katastrofě
Bill Gates není klimatologem a přece je to ideální autor knihy o tom, jak zabránit klimatické katastrofě. Tento multimilionář, filantrop a milovník vědy investuje už léta do výzkumu zaměřeného na redukci skleníkových plynů; setkává se kvůli tomu s předními světovými vědci i politiky a do celé problematiky nahlédl jako málokdo.
Ve své knize předkládá radikální, ale důkladně podloženou tezi: Pro zachování stávajícího stavu přírody a života na Zemi nestačí zastavit nárůst emisí, ani je o něco snížit. Je nutné dostat emise na nulu. Zní to nereálně? Gatesovo hlavní poselství vás možná překvapí ještě víc: Dokážeme to.
Gates otevřeně přiznává, že vědecké poznání má své limity. Přesto v knize dokáže objasnit hlavní mechanismy probíhající klimatické změny a určit, nakolik se na ní podílí různé aspekty lidské činnosti jako doprava (spoiler: vlastně ne až tak příliš), zemědělství nebo stavebnictví. K tolik potřebnému obratu však nepostačí pouhé uskromňování vždyť i celosvětová pandemie covidu-19 nedokázala emise snížit o víc než 5 %. Gates proto dává nahlédnout do aktuálních výhledů technologického výzkumu, od alternativních zdrojů energie až po metody zachycování emisí v atmosféře. Nabízí návod na to, jak se k této mimořádné výzvě účinně postavit na všech úrovních osobní i politické, a jak o ní diskutovat. Sebekriticky se nevyhýbá ani otázce své vlastní uhlíkové stopy a vysvětluje, jak se ji snaží odčinit. Tato kniha je nejen pro ty, kdo trpí enviromentální úzkostí, ale pro nás pro všechny. Transformujeme-li náš způsob života, práce a podnikání, zvládneme to: zabráníme klimatické katastrofě.
