環境正在崩壞，氣候變遷、人口爆炸、環境汙染、過度消費…都是元凶之一。
地球暖化導致平均海平面在過去100年上升了18公分；北極海冰縮減的速率前所未見，每年約有1,000萬人受到影響；全球約有1/3的陸地遭逢沙漠化的危機，糧食短缺迫在眼前；空氣汙染的致死人數年年增加，而塑膠廢棄物汙染海洋嚴重威脅海洋生物和漁獲量…
除了呈現這些事實，本書還提出各種觀念，探討如何減低惡化趨勢，創造環境永續發展的可能性。
Using powerful, easy-to-grasp graphics, this book cuts through the noise and gets straight to the facts on climate change, overpopulation, pollution, over-consumption, and much more.
In How We're F***ing Up Our Planet Tony Juniper distills wide-ranging, heart-stopping research into one reliable and eye-opening book. He charts the dramatic explosion of human population and consumption and its impact on planet Earth, revealing how increasing pressures on our world affect factors such as climate, sea levels, and pollution, and what that means for our future.
Global warming has led to sea levels rising by around 18cm (7in) over the past 100 years, and the Arctic ice sheet is shrinking at a rate never seen before. 10 million people each year are affected by coastal flooding. One third of all land is at risk of turning to desert, with huge implications for food supplies. Deaths due to air pollution rise every year, and more plastic pollution of the oceans threatens marine life and fishing stocks.
As well as explaining global trends and showing how they are connected, How We are F***ing Up Our Planet explores how we can live more sustainably into the future, with positive ideas of how we can mitigate damaging trends.
