Did Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo get it...

Governments and international bodies have failed to respond in any meaningful way. They continue to fund activities and institutions that are only tenuously linked to social and environmental goals.

The Inner Climate: Global Warming from the Inside Out
ISBN: 9781936955176 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Climate change may alter virtually every major human institution. It will transform who we believe ourselves to be and the way we relate with one another. It may even bring about a reconsideration of the meaning of human existence. But while most serious thinking on climate change is scientific and political, these questions are psychological, sociological, ethical, and spiritual. The failure to explore more deeply the inner climate through which climate change is received is a major part of the story of why there has been so little climate action. And yet, leading thinkers in virtually... Climate change may alter virtually every major human institution. It will transform who we believe ourselves to be and the way we relate with one a... |

Convergence: The Globalization of Mind
ISBN: 9781936955145 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Humanity is now faced with an array of global challenges we are ill equipped to handle. Climate change and nuclear proliferation, food security and global pandemic disease each concern us all. But we lack the global institutions through which they might be solved. And these institutions are lacking because most people put the needs of their own groups first. While the great challenges of the twenty-first century are largely global, few people think of themselves as global citizens. And few bring the same balance and maturity to global issues that they do to more national concerns. ...Humanity is now faced with an array of global challenges we are ill equipped to handle.

Market Solutions for Social and Environmental Problems: Social Policy Bonds
ISBN: 9781456512095 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Social Policy Bonds are a radical new financial instrument designed to inject market incentives into the achievement of social and environmental goals. These can include global goals such as an end to climate change and violent conflict, or national goals such as improved health and literacy, and lower rates of crime and unemployment. Social Policy Bonds would target agreed, explicit outcomes and reward people for achieving them, however they do so. This book is a thorough and entertaining description of how current policymaking is flawed, and how Social Policy Bonds could put it right.

ISBN: 9780595294848 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Markets are the most efficient means yet discovered of allocating society's scarce resources. Unfortunately, many believe that market forces must inevitably conflict with social goals. So it is important to remind ourselves that market forces and self-interest can fulfil social, as well as private, aspirations. This book introduces a radical new financial instrument, Conflict Reduction Bonds, intended to channel the market's incentives and efficiencies into achieving what is perhaps our most urgent and yet remote social objective: the ending for all time of violent political conflict.
