Climate Change, Education, and Technology
The climate change crisis is the greatest challenge humanity has ever confronted.As human activities are the most significant cause for this crisis, the solution must come from within humanity.While global movements—NGOs, universities, municipal governments, etc.—are doing their part to combat the crisis, the role of education and technology cannot be emphasized enough.Education is necessary to enhance awareness, especially among the youth, generate solutions, and implement them.Technology contributes to this process by creating climate change-fighting solutions, accumulating and analysing data, and providing energy efficiency.Technology also enables the monitoring of the climate, the mitigation of its effects, and the enhancement of the environment.Therefore, climate change, education, and the use of technology should be addressed as a unit.In this volume, the authors integrate climate change, education, and technological applications. This book is comprehensive and offers readers a variety of perspectives, encouraging the generation of novel and inventive ideas.The collaboration of authors from various disciplines to address the issue brings about novel and intriguing perspectives.

Posthuman research playspaces : Climate child imaginaries
Posthuman research playspaces: Climate child imaginaries addresses the need for new forms of climate change education that are responsive to the rapidly changing material conditions of children’s socioecological worlds. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of how posthumanist concepts and methods can be creatively developed and deployed in collaboration with children and young people.It connects climate change education with posthumanist studies of childhood in the social sciences and environmental humanities.It also offers opportunities for readers to encounter new theoretical and methodological approaches for collaborative art, inquiry, and learning with children.Drawing on three years of participatory research undertaken with 135 children in the Climate Change and Me (CC+Me) project, it takes children’s creative and affective responses to climate change as the starting point for the co-production of knowledge, community engagement, and the transformation of pedagogy and curriculum in schools.Thinking through process philosophy, and in particular, the works of Whitehead and Deleuze, the book develops new concepts and methods of creative inquiry which situate children’s learning, aesthetic production, and theory-building within a more-than-human ecology of experience.The book presents a series of generative openings and propositions for future research in the field of climate change education, while also offering wide-ranging applications for graduate students and researchers in childhood and youth studies, the environmental arts and humanities, cultural studies of science and technology, educational philosophy, and environmental education.

Making Climate Tech Work : Policies That Drive Innovation
Climate tech is critical for averting planetary chaos.Half the greenhouse gas reductions required to reach “net-zero”climate targets in 2050 will need to come from technologies that have not yet been invented.Without effectivegovernment interventions, market incentives alone will not produce a rapid transition to a low-carbon economy.Thecommercial value of innovative climate technology, especially in its early phases, remains underpriced - far below itssocial value.The good news is that smart policies can change these dynamics and catalyze the necessary creativity andinvestment in clean technology, and its deployment.The key question is: which approaches can lead us to future carbonneutrality, and which are likely to fall short?In Making Climate Tech Work, environmental policy expert Alon Tal demystifies climate innovation programs around theworld - no policy background needed.Beginning with a review of government’s general role in technology policydevelopment, Tal assesses each policy alternative, describing eye-opening experiments in diverse countries, presenting arange of case studies, interviewing leading decarbonization experts, and interpreting new empirical data.Discover howGermany incentivized renewables; Denmark became a wind energy superpower; Australia phased out incandescent bulbs; California’s prisons pioneered low-carbon menus; and why carbon taxes have failed around the world, but couldbe designed for success. Tal distills the benefits and drawbacks of each policy, along with related ethical questions and public perceptions.Heconcludes by addressing two commonly overlooked issues in climate policy: disruption of workers’ livelihoods from theclean energy transition; and integrating the Global South into the planet’s new low-carbon economy - as the region thathas contributed least to climate change but which must be part of a global solution.Tal not only evaluates which policystrategies effectively reduce emissions but also how they can promote climate tech innovation. Humanity is ultimately in a race against time and effective climate policies are critical to ensure a sustainable future. Making Climate Tech Work serves as an essential primer for policymakers, academics, activists, and anyone interested inclimate solutions.

Ecomodernism: Technology, Politics and The Climate Crisis
Is climate catastrophe inevitable? In a world of extreme inequality, rising nationalism and mounting carbon emissions, the future looks gloomy.Yet one group of environmentalists, the ‘ecomodernists’, are optimistic.They argue that technological innovation and universal human development hold the keys to an ecologically vibrant future.However, this perspective, which advocates fighting climate change with all available technologies – including nuclear power, synthetic biology and others not yet invented – is deeply controversial because it rejects the Green movement’s calls for greater harmony with nature. In this book, Jonathan Symons offers a qualified defence of the ecomodernist vision.Ecomodernism, he explains, is neither as radical or reactionary as its critics claim, but belongs in the social democratic tradition, promoting a third way between laissez-faire and anti-capitalism.Critiquing and extending ecomodernist ideas, Symons argues that states should defend against climate threats through transformative investments in technological innovation.A good Anthropocene is still possible – but only if we double down on science and humanism to push beyond the limits to growth.

Climate Migration : Critical Perspectives for Law, Policy, and Research
This book investigates the epistemological and ethical challenges faced by studies exploring the relations between climate change and human migration.At the heart of the contemporary preoccupation with climate change is a concern for its societal impacts.Among these, its presumed effect on human migration is perhaps the most politically resonant, regardless of whether that politics is oriented towards human or national security. There is, however, a problem: research on the causal link between climate change and migration has shown it to be a highly equivocal one.By extension, it remains unclear what - if any - response is required from law and policy. Carefully structured to guide the reader through the issue of 'climate migration' in a logical and rigorous manner, this book is the first to bring together key critiques, caveats, and cautions in order to systematically examine the challenges facing law, policy, and research on the topic. At a time in which both the effects of climate change and the causes of migration are of great public and political interest, and in which these interests are often fraught with sentiment and freighted with politics, the book brings dispassionately critical perspectives to bear on a topic that desperately needs it.
