Climate Change

Drawing together current research, this volume surveys the full landscape of climate change. It opens with the underlying science that makes the case for acting, then moves on to the tools available in response: technologies, economic instruments and political strategies. It also examines the ethical and cultural factors that can hold back society's reaction to the problem.

Written as a reference for anyone who wants to grasp the challenge and help address it, the book draws on a broad set of fields. Core physical and life sciences such as geosciences, atmospheric and ocean sciences, and ecology sit alongside economics, political science, health sciences, governance, sociology, ethics, philosophy and engineering.

The author pitches the work at researchers and professionals seeking a cutting-edge overview, and at advanced students taking climate change courses.
