Using a eutopian framework based on the forms and values of traditional cultures, and applied ecological systems reasoning, global ecological design, and common sense to propose emergency actions to avoid converging catastrophes and to restore balance to the planet. The framework requires new institutions, laws, and taxes to promote equity between individuals, communities and nations. This book is a list of actions that should be taken to respond to our current global emergency, which is a result of developmental changes in the planet in its solar environment, as well as in the development of climate and the biosphere, and furthermore with the development of human cultures that have accelerated changes to the composition and stability of ecosystems and human settlements-to avoid catastrophe. Many catastrophes are longterm, large-scale, slow, incomprehensible, and invisible, and they have been developing for thousands of years. This requires a change in our perception and adoption of an attitude of catastrophe, which may be necessary before we can take any actions. It is also unlikely that we can respond just as individuals or turn over responsibility to a single agency or government. We have to work on every level, from individual and community to nations, confederations and a global government. Most of these suggested actions are based on a general knowledge of ecological change and human development. Many are based on the historical stability of traditional cultures, which have survived within a variety of limits, including weather, vegetative shifts and overuse of resources. Some are based on preliminary studies of long-term environmental changes and on human adaptability. Some are based on global ecological designs. A few are intelligent guesses, and a few may be expressions of a wild hope. Some of the actions may seem contradictory and counter-intuitive. Others, such as some new forms of taxes or rules of exploitation (especially regarding pollutions and biocides), are only temporary and are meant to achieve a quick effective balance; when they are no longer necessary or useful, they can be removed. And, still others, such as an ecological basis of exploitation and distribution, recognition of real ecological, psychological, and social limits, and new forms of conflict resolution, may be always necessary as part of a complete human ethics, economics and politics. These actions depend on a massive, cooperative effort. They promise a greater equalization of opportunities to use resources that are becoming more rare and expensive. They use openness and a joint sense of responsibility. However, these are just suggestions to be tried and refined-then discarded or supplemented by others. Any plan for emergencies has to be flexible and adaptable. It is crucial to avoid committing to actions that make things worse. This effort does not mean that we should stop working or give up our jobs and dig holes to hide in, but it does mean that some jobs and some industries should be abandoned, and others need to be created and applied; and it means that every effort needs to be tied to the long-term goal of designing and making the planet habitable for all forms of life. It does entail sacrifice, but most sacrifice can be borne if everyone is participating and if the goals are shared and desirable. As with any medical approach, we have to let the planet and biosphere do most of the work to be successful, although our participation, restraint and cocreation are critical, now.

EU Management of Global Emergencies: Legal Framework for Combating Threats and Crises provides a thorough analysis of the role played by the European Union (EU) in combating some of the global emergencies that currently affect, or are likely to affect, our planet. In particular, the potential of a “regional” model for coping with such emergencies is examined, taking into account the perceived inefficacy of traditional prevention and reaction mechanisms provided both by individual States and international organisations. The expression “global emergencies” refers to all situations, irrespective of the subject matter involved, which are characterised by an unexpected state of crisis which affects one or more regions of the world and call for an urgent and coordinated response from competent bodies and institutions. Furthermore, the book tests the role of the EU in managing global emergencies with respect to four broad areas: the economic and financial crises, the protection of the environment, terrorism and humanitarian aid, while maintaining focus on the legal framework within which the EU deals with such global emergencies in the light of the innovations brought about by the Lisbon Treaty. With contributions by leading experts in each of the identified set of challenges, EU Management of Global Emergencies: Legal Framework for Combating Threats and Crises aims at increasing the understanding of : (a) the contribution of regional organizations such as the EU to the management of global emergencies; (b) the effectiveness of the EU external action and the actual involvement of the EU in global cooperation processes against global emergencies; (c) global standards of human rights protection in relation to measures adopted in crises; and (d) the coordination mechanisms between the EU and other international organisations with a global or regional membership, in the management of global emergencies.

Introduction to International Disaster Management, Third Edition, continues to serve as the leading comprehensive overview of global emergency management. This edition provides practitioners and students alike with a comprehensive understanding of the disaster management profession by utilizing a global perspective and including the different sources of risk and vulnerability, the systems that exist to manage hazard risk, and the many different stakeholders involved.

It also expands coverage of small-island developing states (SIDS) and explores the achievements of the United Nations Hyogo Framework for Action (2005–2015) and the priorities for action in the Post-2015 Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction currently under development. This useful, relevant text includes many changes that have occurred since the last edition for a better understanding of the rapidly advancing field of international disaster management. Includes updated perspectives on recent events that have shaped the direction emergency management is taking today Examines outcomes of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) decade, such as insight into how disaster risk reduction has advanced globally, and how it differs among countries and regions Updated statistics on disaster frequency and impact provide a better understanding about how and why risk and vulnerability are changing Presents information on multilateral emergency management agreements as well as profiles of important NGOs and international organizations Key terms and summaries are provided at the beginning of each chapter to ease student comprehension Offers customized and updated instructor materials, including PowerPoint lecture slides, test banks, and a detailed instructor's guide
