The solutions are not beyond us in any way. Technological solutions exist, scientific knowledge is plentiful, the world can afford the transition but still significant action eludes us. Rational arguments for rapid action abound. We do not need any more of those. What is needed is a different way of communicating that inspires and attracts the widest possible group of humans towards wanting to travel on this same journey. As part of the VISIONS 2100 Project, this book tells of the power of Visions and invites the reader to create and share their own vision of a better world. Only by starting conversations of the future will we manage to build the world that we really want. The book balances worries about catastrophe with social and environmental improvements by referencing psychology, management thought, case studies and personal anecdotes. In also references the parallels between the world's journey and coping with the chronic illness of the author's wife. The book is framed around eighty short visions by some of the world's leading environmental thinkers including Mary Robinson, Christiana Figueres, Bill McKibben, Connie Hedegaard, Yvo de Boer and many others. Having a vision of a better world is likely to result in the world being better. 'Poverty is eradicated. Every child goes to school regardless of sex, race, religion or place of birth. Every woman enjoys equality with every man. Every household has access to energy. In 2100, the world is just.' Mary Robinson, Special Envoy on Climate Change, United Nations'Opportunity from 2100 forward is unimaginably vast and incredibly varied.' Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary, UNFCCC 'Timing is everything, and it hurts to think we blew it.' Bill McKibben, 350.orgThe future is a beautiful, if challenging, partner. Your choice is whether you take the risk in having a first date or whether you are happy to accept a life of regret.www.visions2100.comHuman EcologySocial EcologySustainabilitySustainable DevelopmentClimatic ChangesNatureBusiness & EconomicsScienceO'Brien John K1434284MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910157785803321VISIONS 21003587892UNINA04110nam 22004693 450 991014945450332120230808200345.00-8041-4366-8(CKB)3710000000933213(MiAaPQ)EBC5193577(Au-PeEL)EBL5193577(OCoLC)946589179(BIP)55015175(BIP)55009871(EXLCZ)99371000000093321320210901d2016 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFodor's Essential HawaiiNew York :Fodor's Travel,2016.©2016.1 online resource (781 pages)Full-color Travel Guide ;v.11-101-87992-0 Intro -- Contents -- Images of Essential Hawaii -- Essential Hawaii Maps -- Experience Hawaii -- What's Where -- Hawaii Today -- Top Attractions in Hawaii -- Hawaii Planner -- The Hawaiian Islands -- Which Island in Hawaii Should You Visit? -- When to Go -- Hawaiian People and Their Culture -- The History of Hawaii -- Sustainability in Hawaii -- Top 10 Hawaiian Foods to Try -- Best Farmers' Markets -- Kids and Families -- Traditional Hawaiian Souvenirs -- Best Beaches in Hawaii -- Best Outdoor Adventures -- Top Scenic Spots -- Weddings and Honeymoons -- Cruising the Hawaiian Islands -- Oahu -- Welcome to Oahu -- Exploring -- Beaches -- Where to Eat -- Where to Stay -- Nightlife and Performing Arts -- Shops and Spas -- Water Sports and Tours -- Golf, Hiking, and Outdoor Activities -- Maui -- Welcome to Maui -- Exploring -- Beaches -- Where to Eat -- Where to Stay -- Nightlife and Performing Arts -- Shops and Spas -- Water Sports and Tours -- Golf, Hiking, and Outdoor Activities -- The Big Island -- Welcome to The Big Island -- Exploring -- Beaches -- Where to Eat -- Where to Stay -- Nightlife and Performing Arts -- Shops and Spas -- Water Sports and Tours -- Golf, Hiking, and Outdoor Activities -- Kauai -- Welcome to Kauai -- Exploring -- Beaches -- Where to Eat -- Where to Stay -- Nightlife and Performing Arts -- Shops and Spas -- Water Sports and Tours -- Golf, Hiking, and Outdoor Activities -- Molokai -- Welcome to Molokai -- Exploring -- Beaches -- Where to Eat -- Where to Stay -- Nightlife and Performing Arts -- Shops and Spas -- Water Sports and Tours -- Golf, Hiking, and Outdoor Activities -- Lanai -- Welcome to Lanai -- Exploring -- Beaches -- Where to Eat -- Where to Stay -- Nightlife -- Shops and Spas -- Water Sports and Tours -- Golf, Hiking, and Outdoor Activities -- Hawaiian Vocabulary -- Travel Smart Hawaii -- Getting Here and Around.Essentials -- About Our Writers -- Credits and Copyright.Written by locals, Fodor's travel guides have been offering expert advice for all tastes and budgets for 80 years.
