The book starts with an overview of Climate Science. It discusses
the signs of Warming, the impacts and consequences on several
sectors - terrestrial and coastal ecosystems, water resources,
ocean systems, agriculture, food production and food security,
human health and safety, livelihoods and poverty, Arctic
populations, low-lying States, so on. Mathematical models to
project future climate and the resulting concerns, global
adaptation experiences, and opportunities for future execution are
explained. The mitigation approaches, chiefly decarbonizing the
energy sector by developing and applying clean/low carbon energy
sources and improving energy efficiency, and the evolving
geoengineering schemes are dealt. Carbon pricing, an economic tool
to ensure emissions reductions, and transition to a low carbon
economy to stimulate sustainable growth are described. The
continued global efforts under the UN or otherwise until the recent
Paris Agreement to arrive at policy responses to tackle this
intriguing but daunting problem of climate change are vividly
expounded. Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the hardback
in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
