Perubahan iklim telah menjadi isu utama dewasa ini. Untuk mencegah dan mengurangi dampak perubahan iklim, pada tahun 1992 negara-negara di dunia bersepakat untuk membentuk Kerangka Kerja Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa Untuk Perubahan Iklim. Dalam perkembangannya konvensi ini menciptakan mekanisme penurunan emisi yang menitikberatkan kepada adanya alih teknologi dari negara maju ke negara berkembang. Alih teknologi ini diharapkan akan membantu negara berkembang dalam menerapkan ketentuan-ketentuan konvensi. Indonesia sebagai negara berkembang memiliki kepentingan akan alih teknologi di dalam mekanisme Kerangka Kerja Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa Mengenai Perubahan Iklim. Terdapat beberapa kasus alih teknologi di dalam mekanisme Kerangka Kerja Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa Mengenai Perubahan Iklim di beberapa negara berkembang. Alih teknologi menjadi kepentingan negara berkembang untuk membangun negara dengan prinsip pembangunan berkelanjutan. Oleh karena itu peraturan internasional dan nasional akan alih teknologi dalam upaya penurunan emisi di dalam Kerangka Kerja Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa Mengenai Perubahan Iklim harus jelas, adil dan bertanggungjawab.

Abstract
Climate change has been the main issue nowadays. To prevent and reduce the impacts of climate change, in 1992 countries in the world agreed to form the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. During the development, the convention has created emission reduction mechanisms which emphasize technology transfer from developed countries to developing countries. The technology transfer is expected to help developing countries to implement the provisions of the convention. Indonesia as a developing country has interests in technology transfer within the mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. There are several cases of technology transfer within the mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in some developing countries. Technology transfer has become an interest of developing countries to develop their countries with sustainable development principles. Therefore, international and national regulations of technology transfer in the effort of reducing emission within United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change have to be clear, fair, and responsible.

The book provides a detailed analysis of the development of adaptive governance in Russia and Finland. It presents a case study from the Sakha Republic in Russia that focuses on community’s participation in the process of governing of the flood events in the Tatta River area. Local adaptive practices are analyzed in relation to federal and regional responses that may mandate, encourage or collide with community’s agency. A second case study is centered on the Finnish community of Kuttura, Ivalo. It explores the mounting challenges presented by changing environmental conditions to traditional reindeer herding, as well as the efforts made to cope with these new factors. Combining anthropological research and political science, this penetrating work offers revealing scrutiny of governmental responses to one of the most urgent issues facing both politicians and the citizens who live in their domains.

hi-Ling Hsu examines the four major approaches to curbing CO2, cap-and-trade, command and control regulation, government subsidies of alternative energy, and carbon taxes. Weighing the economic, social, administrative, and political merits of each, he demonstrates why a tax is currently the most effective policy. Hsu does not claim that a tax is the perfect or only solution-but that unlike the alternatives, it can be implemented immediately and paired effectively with other approaches. In fact, the only real barrier is psychological. While politicians can present subsidies and cap-and-trade as "win-win" solutions, the costs of a tax are immediately apparent. Hsu deftly explores the social and political factors that prevent us from embracing this commonsense approach. And he shows why we must get past our hang-ups if we are to avert a global crisis."

Analysing and synthesising vast data sets from a multitude of disciplines including climate science, economics, hydrology and agricultural research, this volume seeks new methods of combining climate change mitigation, adaptation, development, and poverty reduction in ways that are effective, efficient and equitable. A guiding principle of the project is that new alliances of state and non-state sector partners are urgently required to establish cooperative responses to the threats posed by climate change. This volume offers a vital policy framework for linking our response to this change with progressive principles of global justice and sustainable development.

The chapters in this book are based on lectures given at a summer school on the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm in the summer of 2009. They cover a range of topics, spanning from detailed descriptions of political agreements that protect the marine environment, to basic modelling instructions, to an assessment of the possible impacts of climate change on the marine ecosystem, to a reflection on the role of climate scientists and their responsibility in society.

A landmark study in the struggle to contain climate change, the greatest challenge of our era. I urge everyone to read it."--Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States of America. Climate change differs from any other problem that, as collective humanity, we face today. If it goes unchecked, the consequences are likely to be catastrophic for human life on earth. Yet for most people, and for many policy-makers too, it is a 'back of the mind' issue. We recognise its importance and even its urgency, but for the most part it is swamped by more immediate concerns. Politicians have woken up to the dangers, but at the moment their responses are mainly on the level of gesture rather than being, as they have to be, both concrete and radical. Political action and intervention, on local, national and international levels, is going to have a decisive effect on whether or not we can limit global warming, as well as how we adapt to that already occurring. At the moment, however, Anthony Giddens argues controversially, we do not have a systematic politics of climate change. Politics-as-usual won't allow us to deal with the problems we face, while the recipes of the main challenger to orthodox politics, the green movement, are flawed at source. Giddens introduces a range of new concepts and proposals to fill in the gap, and examines in depth the connections between climate change and energy security. This book is likely to become a classic in the field. It will appeal to everyone concerned about how we can cope with what amounts to a crisis for our civilisation. Read less

This book analyzes why tackling many of these problems is so difficult and why sustainability involves more than adoption of greener, cleaner technologies. Sustainability, as discussed in this book, involves knowledge flows and collaborative decision processes that integrate scientific and technological methods and tools, political and governance structures and regimes, and social and community values. The authors synthesize a holistic and adaptive approach to rethinking the framework for restoring healthy ecosystems that are the foundation for thriving communities and dynamic economies.

This volume contains articles from leading analysts and researchers on sustainable transportation, who provide critical reflections on how automobile-related climate policies have evolved up to now in Europe and around the world, in view of the widely recognized need to substantially curb global emissions of greenhouse gases in the coming decades. Authors describe the policies which have been most effective, outline their economic and social implications, present success stories while critically reviewing less successful examples, and suggest strategies to decarbonize passenger transportation on a global scale.
