Clásico indiscutido de la Ecología, que nos recuerda la imperiosa necesidad de preservar la naturaleza y la vida en todas sus formas.

En este nuevo libro, Stefano Mancuso continúa la investigación que inició en Sensibilidad e inteligencia en el mundo vegetal. Ofrece de nuevo una revolucionaria mirada al mundo de las plantas, en este caso estudiando las soluciones que las plantas encuentran a los multiples retos a los que se enfrentan y sacando de ellas modelos para inspirar soluciones a los problemas que acechan a la humanidad. Necesitamos a las plantas para mejorar nuestras vidas, para inventar nuevas tecnologias, para imaginar nuevos modelos de organizacion social mas descentralizados, menos jerarquicos. Las plantas son paradigmas de la vida contemporanea por su flexibilidad y fortaleza frente a la fragilidad del mundo humano y animal. En una palabra, las plantas son fascinantes: consumen poca energia, son fuertes, tienen una inteligencia compartida, actuan de forma colectiva, tienen una extraordinaria capacidad para sobrevivir en entornos hostiles, aprenden de la experiencia y poseen mecanismos de memorizacion. Nuestro futuro va mas alla de una vision de color verde. Urge que encontremos soluciones a la manera de las plantas. Stefano Mancuso propone en este libro varias soluciones para problemas acuciantes como la escasez de agua dulce, la falta de suficiente tierra cultivable para alimentar a la humanidad, la creciente contaminacion de las ciudades y el cambio climatico. Una vez mas, Mancuso nos sorprende nos invita a reflexionar y, sobre todo, a actuar.

Artículos que abren la discusión sobre los desafíos que el cambio climático plantea al país, la relación entre desarrollo sostenible, economía y pobreza, la seguridad energética e hídrica en el Perú, la gestion climatica y la de los bosques y servicios ecosistemicos.En junio de 2012 se realizo en Rio de Janeiro la Cuarta Magna Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Desarrollo Sostenible, denominada Rio+20. En este contexto, el Instituto de Ciencias de la Naturaleza, Territorio y Energias Renovables de la PUCP y la Facultad de Economia y Gestion Ambiental de la Universidad Antonio Ruiz de Montoya organizaron el foro "Rio+20: Desafios y Perspectivas", bajo la pregunta central "¿Es posible un desarrollo sostenible en el Peru del siglo XXI?". El desarrollo sostenible implica la discusion de los desafios del cambio climatico para la sociedad y los Estados. Asimismo, supone el imperativo etico de garantizar a las generaciones futuras un lugar apropiado para vivir. La perspectiva del evento fue interdisciplinaria para dar cuenta de las diversas investigaciones y enfoques que se estan realizando en materia de desarrollo sostenible, innovacion tecnologica, biorremediacion, preservacion del medio ambiente y en las diferentes aproximaciones de los estudios e investigaciones, esten estos orientados a la investigacion basica, a las reflexiones teoricas, al desarrollo de tecnologias o a la recuperacion de saberes ancestrales.

La investigación cubre algunos de los aspectos más sensibles de la tensa relación ente la protección del medio ambiente y la actividad minera, en el marco general de la obra Minería y desarrollo. El analisis comienza por reconocer los multiples conflictos que dicha relacion sugiere, y ahonda en el estudio de los instrumentos que el ordenamiento juridico ha desarrollado ya sea para prevenir las consecuencias negativas derivadas del desarrollo de la actividad minera o para definir las consecuencias de la accion antijuridica. Del mismo modo, este texto estudia desde multiples perspectivas la forma como se han transformado los instrumentos economicos, financieros, de mercado y fiscales ante la necesidad de salvaguardar el patrimonio natural. Asi las cosas, el estudio de la actividad minera, como el lector podra reconocer a lo largo de este texto, se realiza sobre la base de dos pilares fundamentales a saber: el medio ambiente y el desarrollo sostenible. El primero, entendido de conformidad con lo determinado por la Ley 23 de 1973 y por el Decreto ley 2811 de 1974, es decir, como un patrimonio comun cuyo mejoramiento y conservacion son actividades de utilidad publica e interes social que exigen la participacion del Estado y de los particulares. El segundo, el desarrollo sostenible, es entendido desde la concepcion basal propuesta por el informe "Nuestro Futuro Comun" como aquel que permite la satisfaccion de las necesidades presentes sin comprometer la de las futuras generaciones. Sobre estas bases desarrollaremos algunas reflexiones preliminares que permitiran comprender el contexto de la obra.

Bravely challenging the Establishment consensus forensically argued - Mail on SundayThe British government has embarked on an ambitious and legally-binding climate change target: reduce the countrys greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2050. The Net Zero policy was subject to almost no parliamentary or public scrutiny, and is universally approved by our political class. But what will its consequences be?Ross Clark argues that it is a terrible mistake, an impractical hostage to fortune which will have massive downsides. Achieving the target is predicated on the rapid development of technologies that are either non-existent, highly speculative or untested. Clark shows that efforts to achieve the target will inevitably result in a huge hit to living standards, which will clobber the poorest hardest, and gift a massive geopolitical advantage to hostile superpowers such as China and Russia. The unrealistic and rigid timetable it imposes could also result in our committing to technologies which turn out to be ineffective, all while distracting ourselves from the far more important objective of adaptation.This hard-hitting polemic provides a timely critique of a potentially devastating political consensus which could hobble Britains economy, cost billions and not even be effective.
