Why are We Waiting?: The Logic, Urgency, and Promise of Tackling Climate Change (Lionel Robbins Lectures)

Product Information

Up to 2 million people are effectively on an NHS “shadow waiting list”, waiting to be referred for primary care treatment of us in Hornsey and Wood Green have said that we or a family member had experienced difficulty booking an appointment with a local GP in the last year. However, I am concerned to see an absence of measures to consult with residents on the decisions being made. We are all under no illusion that difficult decisions will need to be made, but we owe it to our residents to offer choices, wherever possible.” Layered on top of this ever increasing focus is the context that the future energy system is going to look markedly different from its current form reflecting significantly increasing demand, a changing of the nature of such demand (and its patterns), evolving energy needs and the establishment of new technologies. Stern argues that the risks and costs of climate change are worse than estimated in the landmark Stern Review in 2006 – and far worse than implied by standard economic models. He reminds us that we have a choice. We can rely on past technologies, methods, and institutions – or we can embrace change, innovation, and international collaboration. The first might bring us some short-term growth but would lead eventually to chaos, conflict, and destruction. The second could bring about better lives for all and growth that is sustainable over the long term, and help win the battle against worldwide poverty. The science warns of the dangers of neglect; the economics and technology show what we can do and the great benefits that will follow; an examination of the ethics points strongly to a moral imperative for action. Why are we waiting?

The Logic, Urgency, and Promise of Tackling Climate Change

Regional Partnership Boards, local authorities and third sector services need to work together to improve the availability of earlier intervention and prevention support for older people of us in Bexhill and Battle have said that we or a family member had experienced difficulty booking an appointment with a local GP in the last year. Local authorities should assess whether their current processes for providing initial advice and information and ongoing access to advice and information are meeting the needs of older people, particularly those that are digitally excluded

Nicholas Stern provides a thoughtful and highly valuable contribution to the increasingly important field of the economics of climate change. His focus on radical innovation, co-benefits of climate action, and transformational changes will provoke a lively debate on climate mitigation policies. This debate is urgently needed for a better design of climate policies. of us in Corby have said that we or a family member had experienced difficulty booking an appointment with a local GP in the last year. of us in Central Devon have said that we or a family member had experienced difficulty booking an appointment with a local GP in the last year.We found a picture is emerging of a less healthy population in Wales after the main pandemic period, as can be seen in the large increase in the number of older people approaching social care for help and the urgency of their needs. Efforts on social care recovery have continued this year, but their impact has been reduced as a result of a less healthy population that now has a higher need for care and support. Welsh Government, regional partnership boards, health boards and local authorities should ensure that third sector funding is provided on a sustainable basis Speculative applications– the potential significant value attributed to land that has the benefit of booked grid capacity has led to an increasing number of speculative applications added to queue congestion.
