Is a unique, cross-disciplinary assessment of fairness and equity
issues in the context of global climate change - a crucial
dimension in current international negotiations - written by a
collection of leading scientists in economics, sociology and social
psychology, ethics, international law and political science. How
should responsibility for adapting to climate change be
distributed? Who should bear the costs of mitigating its impacts
and how should these costs be measured? Answers to these questions
differ, often according to the vulnerability, wealth and level of
industrial development of the country. Finding a fair solution is
controversial, but crucial to the complex and vital negotiations
over global warming. This illuminating and accessible volume
explores the policy dimensions and analytical needs of the
negotiation process. It is essential reading for policy makers and
students and teachers of economics, sociology and social
psychology, ethics, international relations, law and political
science. FERENC L TOTH is project leader at the Department of
Global Change and Social Systems at the Potsdam Institute for
Climate Impact Research (PIK), Germany. CONTRIBUTORS H Asbjorn
