@GeoffreyLean @tomjennings @DavidRVetter Completely agree, Geoffrey. On that note, you may enjoy the book ‘Supercharge me: Net Zero faster’ which very much focusses on a new balance between incentivising and disincentivising (or punitive) climate policies. Hastily edited, but still eye-opening:      источник

Don't Even Think About It book cover
Don't Even Think About It
Why Our Brains Are Wired to Ignore Climate Change
George Marshall - 2014-08-19
Рейтинг Goodreads
This groundbreaking book asks the question: despite overwhelming scientific evidence, why do we still ignore climate change? George Marshall takes us on a journey through the psychological mechanisms that cause us to know something is true but act as if it is not. With engaging stories and insights from Nobel Prize-winning psychologists, as well as conservative activists and leading climate scientists, Marshall argues that understanding what motivates us is key to rethinking climate change. Don't Even Think About It is not just about the environment, but also about what makes us human and how we can rise to face the greatest challenge of our time.

Part of my climate journalism research focusses on how to even define ‚climate literacy‘: Which basic facts should be ‚general knowledge‘ in newsrooms? To my surprise, I found children‘s magazines and books to be a great starting point. I recommend this:      источник

Карта культурных различий
Как люди думают, руководят и добиваются целей в международной среде
Erin Meyer - 2014-05-27
Рейтинг Goodreads
Международный бизнес-эксперт предлагает обстоятельное практическое руководство, которое поможет вам разобраться в отличиях между деловыми культурами разных стран. Любой негативный комментарий американцы всегда предвосхищают тремя положительными; французы, голландцы, израильтяне и немцы сразу переходят к делу; латиноамериканцы и азиаты неизменно соблюдают четкую иерархию; скандинавы считают, что хороший босс это «свой парень». Не удивительно, что когда все эти люди пытаются сотрудничать друг с другом, получается хаос и путаница. Профессор INSEAD Эрин Мейер готова провести вас по этому опасному, временами коварному лабиринту, в котором люди с абсолютно разным воспитанием и опытом вынуждены работать вместе – слаженно и плодотворно. Автор предлагает проверенную модель, которая позволяет понять, как культурные различия влияют на международный бизнес, а также дополняет аналитические данные полезными практическими советами.

How Asians and Westerners Think Differently...and Why
Richard E. Nisbett - 2004-04-05 (впервые опубликовано в 2003)
Рейтинг Goodreads
This groundbreaking book by a preeminent psychologist challenges the notion that human behavior is hard-wired and proves that culture plays a significant role in shaping our thoughts and perceptions. The Geography of Thought offers a map to the gulf that separates Eastern and Western ways of thinking and a blueprint for a bridge that can span it. A must-read for anyone interested in cross-cultural understanding and collaboration.

Рейтинг Goodreads
Всеобщий базовый доход, открытые границы и пятнадцатичасовая рабочая неделя кажутся нам недостижимой утопией. Но подумайте: на протяжении почти всей своей истории человечество было бедным, голодным и больным. Только за последние 200 лет все изменилось: миллиарды людей внезапно оказались в безопасности, стали богатыми, сытыми и здоровыми.
