Produktinformationen zu „The Challenge of Climate Change (PDF)“
Global warming and climate change present complex interlocking
issues of public policy, multilateral negotiation, and
technological advancement. This book explores both the
problems and the opportunities presented by international
agreements, and examines the technological developments and policy
goals that can be pursued to effect the changes necessary.
Specific steps are proposed in the form of a list of priorities.
This book represents a cooperative enterprise between two
authors of different backgrounds - engineering and international
relations - and is directed to an educated but
non-professional lay audience without any formal training in either
science or international relations. The points of view of
negotiators from both developed and developing nations are
presented and compared. Each topic is presented from both
technical and policy perspectives as a means to evaluate the
variety of proposals that have been offered as remedies to global
warming.
The text is supported by illustrations and tables where
appropriate, including a list of References at the end of each
chapter.
