Climate
Change
Controlling Climate
Change
is an unbiased and comprehensive overview that is free of jargon and
solidly based on the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (fPCC). It looks at
what we can do to solve the problem of man-made climate change, working through the often
confusing potential solutions. Readers will find answers to the vital questions:
•
What will happen if climate change is not controlled?
•
What is the magnitude of the challenge to avoid climate change?
•
What is the role of prevention and adaptation?
•
What measures can we take to control climate change and what do they cost?
•
What policies arc available to make it happen?
Bert Metz
is a leading expert on climate change science and policy. As a former co-chair of the
ÌPCC
Working Group on Mitigation of Climate Change and an international climate change negotiator, his
insider expertise provides a cutting edge, completely up-to-date assessment that gives the reader an
insight to issues at the top of the political agenda. He leads the reader through the scenarios of
ambitious actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect our forests, in the context of the
challenges of countries to provide for economic growth and development and the need for societies to
adapt to different climate conditions. Technical solutions, behavioural issues, costs, and policies and
measures arc discussed for each of the main economic sectors. The complexities of international
climate negotiations are explained in a succinct manner. Damage to ecosystems, impact on food
production, health and the very existence of a large proportion of the world s population are all
tackled with an emphasis on the potential solutions.
Illustrations, tables of data, and extensive boxed examples motivate students to engage with this
essential global debate. Questions for each chapter are available online for course instructors, so
students can test their knowledge.
This textbook is ideal for any course on the consequences of climate change and its mitigation
and adaptation. Written in accessible language with a minimum of technical jargon, it will also be
valuable to anyone with an interest in what action should be taken to combat climate change, from
the layman to scientists, professionals and policy makers.

Darst., Kt. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier "An unbiased and comprehensive overview, based on the findings of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Using no jargon, it looks at tackling and adapting to man-made climate change, and works through the often confusing potential solutions. Bert Metz is the former co-chair of the IPCC, at the center of international climate change negotiations. His insider expertise provides a cutting edge assessment of issues at the top of the political agenda. He leads the reader succinctly through ambitious mitigation scenarios, in combination with adapting our future societies to different climate conditions and the potential costs of these measures. Illustrations and extensive boxed examples motivate students to engage with this essential global debate, and questions for each chapter are available online for course instructors.
