The climate crisis is on the brink of its threshold of no return, and there is great urgency for finding a viable solution to this existential threat. But many have still not woken up to the seriousness of the situation. This book attempts to remove some of the key knowledge barriers and proposes a radically new strategy to treat the crisis.
The book takes the reader on a learning journey through the cause of global warming, the impacts of climate change, and the science behind changes in the Earth’s climate system. A detailed introduction to how the Earth’s climate system is monitored by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) using projects such as the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) project follows, and how the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) teams together with climate modelling centres to predict future climate change using climate models is explained.
The reader is treated with a history lesson on the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Conference of the Parties (COPs) as well as the Paris Agreement, the latter of which signals the beginning of an organised effort to tackle the climate issue. The role of renewable energy in the energy transition is elaborated. Attention next dwells on the state of the global climate near 1.5°C. The final chapter proposes a new climate action framework and action strategy, dubbed the rationalised net-zero strategy, that employs an innovative process to include external influences on climate action into a new unified strategy.
The book is primarily intended for climate policymakers, NGOs, climate action practitioners and advocates, as well as academics, government and private sector decision-makers and the climate-conscious public at large.
Key Features:
- Written in plain English
- A comprehensive, coherent and timely treatment of the climate crisis, from the science background to the policies, and the required energy transition and strategies needed to implement them
- Provides a contiguous historical record of the progress of climate action from the Paris Agreement to the present

Diritto di recesso
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
