520 3 "Climate change is an urgent problem. Because it is
causing new weather extremes and fatal catastrophes,
climate change is better termed climate disruption.
Bending the curve to flatten the upward trajectory of
pollution emissions responsible for climate disruption is
essential in order to protect billions of people from this
global threat. Education is a key part of the solution.
This textbook book lays out ten solutions that together
can bend the curve of climate warming below dangerous
levels. These solutions fall into six categories: science,
societal transformation, governance, economics, technology,
and ecosystem management. Four themes emerge from the book
: - There is still time to bend the curve. The time to act
was yesterday, but if proper actions are taken now, there
is still time to avoid disastrous changes. We have to pull
on three levers: The carbon lever to achieve zero net
emissions of carbon dioxide before 2050; the short-lived
climate pollutants lever to drastically reduce
concentrations of other major climate pollutants; and the
atmospheric carbon extraction lever to remove massive
amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. - Bending
the curve will require interdisciplinary solutions.
Climate change requires integrating approaches from the
natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, so this
textbook--unlike most on climate change solutions--does
just that, with chapters written by experts in climate
science, social justice, economics, environmental policy,
political science, energy technologies, ecology, and
religion. Bending the curve also requires preservation and
restoration of ecological systems. - Bending the curve
requires a radical shift in attitude. This shift requires
change in behavior, change in our attitudes towards each
other, and change in our attitude towards nature. Climate
justice has to be an integral part of the solution. -
Technology, market mechanism and policy need to be a part
of the solution. New market mechanisms and other policies
are required to spur technological innovations and to
scale clean technologies globally. New market mechanisms
and other policies are required to spur technological
innovations and to scale clean technologies globally."--
