Global Warming Looking Beyond Kyoto

About this book

In Global Warming: Looking beyond Kyoto, some of the best-known and respected authorities in climate policy-including members of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)-provide a comprehensive agenda for global collective action. Representing both industrialized and developing nations, the contributors present a thought-provoking examination of the economic, social, and political context of climate policy within their countries.

With Kyoto's emissions targets set to expire in 2012, these authors call for a multilateral approach that goes beyond the mitigation-focused Kyoto policies, balancing them with strategies for adaptation.
