Bøger af Bo Fritzbøger

Skybrud og orkaner afløser ørkentør sommer. Vejret er vildt. Men har det ikke altid været det? Allerede i 1625 skrev præsten Anders Pedersen Perlestikker om katastrofale snebyger og stormflod. Han var sikker på, at det elendige vejr i 1600-tallet var menneskeskabt. Gud straffede jo syndere! Også i dag kan vind og vejr få os til at tabe pusten. Atmosfæren har vi påvirket i århundreder, og det gør klimaforandringer til en brandvarm sag. Forskere og FN's klimapanel ser nemlig det menneskeskabte klima som en trussel her og nu. Og vi lever allerede i en ny tid.

This book provides a holistic overview of the history of sustainable development in Denmark over the last fifty years, covering a host of issues central to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): ending poverty; ensuring inclusive and equitable education; reducing inequality; making cities and settlements inclusive, safe and resilient; and fostering responsible production and consumption patterns, to name a few. It argues for a new framework of sustainability history, one that is truly global in outlook. As such, it explores what truly global sustainable development would look like. It considers how economic growth has been the driver for prosperity in the global north, and considers whether sustainable development and continued economic growth are irreconcilable, and what the future of sustainable development initiatives in Denmark might look like.
