Climate change has never been more important than it is now, as it has become arguably the world’s most urgent problem. Solving this problem is proving difficult and complex as it involves joint efforts by governments, companies, communities and innovators. The increased use of fossil fuels associated with global economic growths has led to rising GHG emissions and global warming. There are many challenges for countries that are enacting new climate and clean energy regulations in line with their Paris Agreement commitments. Good government policies and corporate strategies are essential to support these efforts as part of the global climate change crisis. This important book addresses the latest climate change impacts and developments in potential mitigation strategies. These include fossil to clean energy transition, smart low-carbon city designs, green transportation, electric vehicles, green agriculture, carbon emission trading, carbon capture solutions plus climate finance and risk management.

This book is essential reading for policy makers, government employees, business executives, professionals, researchers and academics alike looking to affect change to global climate and energy policies.

Searching for Center: A Tai Chi Master's Journey

In this noteworthy and authoritative work, Master Henry Wang draws on the invaluable knowledge gained during his forty-five years of study to offer a comprehensive and accessible presentation on the theory and practice of Tai Chi Chuan. Master Wang is a former competitive gymnast, armed forces hand-to-hand combat instructor, personal fitness trainer, and Push Hands champion in his native country Taiwan. After winning five, national Push Hands tournaments he willingly gave up competitive Tai Chi completely and embarked on a deeper investigation of the art - a journey of body, mind, and spirit. Inspired by several renowned teachers, Master Wang undertook a mission to relinquish the use of physical force (Li) in order to understand how to use the mind/intent (Yi) to develop and cultivate Tai Chi's internal "life force" energy (nei jin). From the basics of form work and related Taoist philosophy to the nuances of Tai Chi's advanced internal practices, Master Wang shares lessons on: How to cultivate Tai Chi's famed health benefits and lead a more satisfying, well-balanced life. How to train the body to release tension and deeply relax (Sung). How to use meditation to focus and quiet an undisciplined mind. How to use the Seven Principles of Tai Chi to unify the mind and body, increase internal energy, and achieve well-coordinated movements in form practice. How to use the mind/intent (Yi) during "Search Center", his innovative training method, to transmit internal energy (nei jin) and obtain highly effective partner practice results. Selected "Search Center" partner exercises are included in the Appendix. Rules Changes for Push Hands Tournaments: Master Wang also presents his innovative proposal for changing the rules of Push Hands competitions. If adopted, this change would reestablish what Master Wang regards as the required harmonization of tai chi's Taoist philosophy, tai chi form practice, and tai chi as a practical means of self-defense. Whether Tai Chi is practiced as a health-promoting exercise, a meditative discipline, an applied martial art, or a combination of all three, Tai Chi players at every level will benefit from the insights and lessons Master Wang provides.
