- Summary
-
- The issue of human-induced global climate change became a major environmental concern during the twentieth century, and is the paramount environmental concern of the twenty-first century. Response to climate change requires effective interaction from the scientific community, society in general, and politicians in particular. The Intergovernmental Panel on climate Change (IPCC), formed in 1988, has gradually developed to become the key UN body in providing this service to the countries of the world
- Written by its first Chairman, this book is a unique overview of the history of the IPCC. It describes and evaluates the intricate interplay between key factors in the science and politics of climate change, the strategy that has been followed, and the regretfully slow pace in getting to grips with the uncertainties that have prevented earlier action being taken. The book also highlights the emerging conflict between establishing a sustainable global energy system and preventing a serious change in global climate. This text provides researchers and policy makers with an insight into the history of the politics of climate change
