Resultados para "The Future" en Política pública

«Hay que recuperar el respeto por los contenidos en la acción política, por la sustancia, por el fondo.» «El desafío es inmenso porque los cimientos de nuestras sociedades se están tambaleando, mientras el orden internacional amenaza con fragmentarse.» «Un partido emergente como Ciudadanos tiene un recorrido grande. Y el Partido Popular, si evita el riesgo de centrifugación y recupera el dinamismo de su proyecto político con una imagen reconocible para el electorado, no es un partido desahuciado.»

Life expectancy in the United States has recently fallen for three years in a row - a reversal not seen since 1918 or in any other wealthy nation in modern times. In the past two decades, deaths of despair from suicide, drug overdose, and alcoholism have risen dramatically, and now claim hundreds of thousands of American lives each year - and they're still rising. Case and Deaton, known for first sounding the alarm about deaths of despair, explain the overwhelming surge in these deaths and shed light on the social and economic forces that are making life harder for the working class.

Grounded Greatness argues that the future of urban mobility lies not in expensive tunnels or elitist air taxis, but in surface-level public transit. Buses, trains, and last-mile solutions—when digitally integrated—offer the most scalable, equitable, and sustainable way to move people in dense cities. Drawing on global case studies, the book shows how data, AI, unified payments, and people-first design can dramatically improve access and efficiency. It makes the case for reclaiming streets as civic spaces, promoting mobility justice, and shifting investment toward systems that serve everyone.

In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition. As climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that future will consume. With new insight on the consequences for people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy future, from the ground up.

In Electrify, Saul Griffith lays out a detailed blueprint - optimistic but feasible - for fighting climate change while creating millions of new jobs and a healthier environment. Griffith's plan can be summed up simply: Electrify everything. He explains exactly what it would take to transform our infrastructure, update our grid, and adapt our households to make this possible. Billionaires may contemplate escaping our worn-out planet on a private rocket ship to Mars, but the rest of us, Griffith says, will stay and fight for the future.

In Educating for a Sustainable Future, Brian Gibson invites listeners to embark on a bold intellectual and moral journey—one that redefines learning in the age of climate crisis, social inequality, and economic uncertainty.

Pues bien, estas ya están aquí y han nacido en un planeta al borde del colapso. Por eso, cada vez más estudiantes de todo el mundo toman conciencia del problema y se suman a la huelga del movimiento Fridays for Future.

In Future Histories, public interest lawyer and digital specialist Lizzie O'Shea argues that we need to stop looking forward and start looking backwards. Weaving together histories of computing and progressive social movements with modern theories of the mind, society, and self, O'Shea constructs a "usable past" that can help us determine our digital future. What, she asks, can the Paris Commune tell us about earlier experiments in sharing resources - like the internet - in common?

For centuries, industrialization and factory-based production have been core ingredients in economic growth, development, and innovation. This symbiotic relationship between industrialization and economic prosperity is now changing.

Today's militaries are increasingly reliant on highly networked autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and advanced weapons that were previously the domain of sci-fi writers. In such a world, what can we do to decrease the chances of war? In Future Peace, Robert H. Latiff questions our overreliance on technology and examines the pressure-cooker scenario created by the growing animosity between the US and its adversaries, our thinly stretched global military, the capacity for technology to catalyze violence, and the American public's lack of familiarity with these topics.

Economic growth isn't working, and it cannot be made to work. Offering a counter-history of how economic growth emerged in the context of colonialism, fossil-fueled industrialization, and capitalist modernity, The Future Is Degrowth argues that the ideology of growth conceals the rising inequalities and ecological destructions associated with capitalism, and points to desirable alternatives to it.

In this thrilling and capacious book, Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass challenge the inertia of capitalism and the left alike and propose a radical plan to address climate disaster and guarantee the good life for all. Consumption in the global North can’t continue unabated, and we must give up the idea that humans can fully control the Earth through technological “fixes” that only wreak further havoc. Rather than allow the forces of the free market to destroy the planet, we must strive for a post-capitalist society able to guarantee the good life for the entire planet.

“Ho sempre guardato con grande interesse alle vicende della scuola, frequentando istituti e docenti, intervenendo sull’ossessivo succedersi di riforme realizzate o vagheggiate, partecipando a tante discussioni. Ora mi è sembrato che la situazione creata dal Covid-19 abbia mandato in fumo tante di quelle discussioni, tanto agitarsi e arrabattarsi di politici, di pedagoghi, di sindacalisti, di riformatori e di resistenti alle riforme: abbiamo visto la scuola ferma, bambini e adolescenti a casa, anche se poi sono seguite aperture parziali ed eterogenee.
