Inscribed by Lovins on the half title page: "For Connie, partner in making it happen, L. Hunter Lovins." With a very hieroglyphic signature. Along with her ex-husband Armory Lovins, Hunter Lovins is the co-author of Natural Capitalism and the co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Institute, and, in general, a widely influential environmentalist. The jacket begins: "Believe in climate change. Or don t. It doesn t matter. But you d better understand this: the best route to rebuilding our economy, cities, and our job markets, as well as assuring national security, is doing precisely what you would do if you were scared to death about climate change." Blurbs from David Orr and Crispin Tickell among others. The book is near fine because of noticeable bump to the lower front corner of board and jacket; else fine. We invite you to explore our dedicated, growing collection of signed and inscribed climate change books. Please inquire for photos. Books.

Summary: " Climate Capitalism is a must-read for entrepreneurs, investors, industry experts, and corporations interested in capitalizing on the greatest wealth-creation opportunity of our lifetime: solving climate change." -- Jigar Shah, founder, SunEdison, and CEO, Carbon War Room "If you wonder whether there is any hope of humankind''s dealing successfully with climate change, read this book. It is a virtual compendium of what is going on already from which to draw hope and, more important, inspiration." -- Ray Anderson, chairman and founder, Interface, Inc. "Coping with climate change requires challenging conventional wisdom and showing where our interests -- global, national, corporate, and personal -- really lie. Climate Capitalism eloquently defines those interests and the role that market forces could and should play." -- Sir Crispin Tickell, chair emeritus, Climate Institute "Should be on every CEO''s reading list and required in every corporate boardroom." -- Bill Becker, executive director, Presidential Climate Action Project "Well supported with examples of real business practice." -- Ed Crooks, Financial Times "In Climate Capitalism , L. Hunter Lovins and Boyd Cohen present in crisp, clear terms how smart economics hold the key to addressing the multiple crises -- from financial to food, climate to resource scarcity -- facing the world." -- Achim Steiner, executive director, United Nations Environment Programme "The ultimate guide for business and government leaders who see the opportunities in our rapidly changing world but don''t yet know how to win." -- Will Semmes, former director, California Conservation Corps "For those seeking to implement genuine climate solutions, and make money doing so, Climate Capitalism cannot be recommended highly enough." -- Tom Carnac, director of innovation, Carbon Disclosure Project "A blueprint to recalibrate the economy to the realities of climate destabilization. A must-read." -- David Orr, Paul Sears Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics, Oberlin College "Waste is expensive in any form. Climate Capitalism clearly articulates how individuals, companies, municipalities and countries have benefited by reducing their carbon impacts. It''s time to revamp what is considered business fundamentals! Organizations that embrace the principles in this book will be not only better positioned to weather the uncertain future, but will be trailblazing the paths." -- Catherine Greener, principal and co-founder, Clear Green Advisors "Periodically an event, a speech, or a book comes along that changes everything. Climate Capitalism is one of those books. Just as Natural Capitalism inspired thousands of businesses to re-think their bottom line, Climate Capitalism profiles the opportunity, not the crisis, of climate change. It puts business in the leadership position to invest in a global future that improves profitability while cutting climate change. Lovins and Cohen lay to rest the economic argument that energy conservation and renewable energy cost jobs. Lovins is a master of her subject matter having been awarded the "Nobel Award" of Sustainability Leadership by the European Business community in 2008." -- David Johnston, author of Green from the Ground Up "One of the fastest growing areas in business schools today is entrepreneurship, and more specifically social entrepreneurship, as more and more students seek a path to both making a living and a positive difference in the world. Climate Capitalism provides both direction and inspiration for these students who do not accept the artificial tradeoff between doing well and doing good. Bravo to Lovins and Cohen and to all those students who will turn this critically important message to positive action for the planet." -- R. Bruce Hutton, dean emeritus, Daniels College of Business, University of Denver "With a massive shift in the glob.

Believe in climate change. Or don’t. It doesn’t matter.  But you’d better understand this: the best route to rebuilding our economy, our cities, and our job markets, as well as assuring national security, is doing precisely what you would do if you were scared to death about climate change. Whether you’re the head of a household or the CEO of a multinational corporation, embracing efficiency, innovation, renewables, carbon markets, and new technologies is the smartest decision you can make. It’s the most profitable, too. And, oh yes—you’ll help save the planet.  In Climate Capitalism, L. Hunter Lovins, coauthor of the bestselling Natural Capitalism, and the sustainability expert Boyd Cohen prove that the future of capitalism in a recession-riddled, carbon-constrained world will be built on innovations that cutting-edge leaders are bringing to the market today. These companies are creating jobs and driving innovation.  Climate Capitalism delivers hundreds of indepth case studies of international corporations, small businesses, NGOs, and municipalities to prove that energy efficiency and renewable resources are already driving prosperity. While highlighting business opportunities across a range of sectors—including energy, construction, transportation, and agriculture technologies—Lovins and Cohen also show why the ex–CIA director Jim Woolsey drives a solar-powered plugin hybrid vehicle. His bumper sticker says it all: “Osama bin Laden hates my car.”  Corporate executives, entrepreneurs, environmentalists, and concerned citizens alike will find profitable ideas within these pages. In ten information-packed chapters, Climate Capitalism gives tangible examples of early adopters across the globe who see that the low-carbon economy leads to increased profits and economic growth. It offers a clear and concise road map to the new energy economy and a cooler planet., Hardcover, Ausgabe: First Edition, Label: Hill and Wang, Hill and Wang, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2011-04-12, Freigegeben: 2011-04-12, Studio: Hill and Wang, Verkaufsrang: 216021.
