This book provides an evaluation of the science and policy debates
on climate change and offers a reframing of the challenges they
pose, as understood by key international experts and players in the
field. It also gives an important and original perspective on
interpreting climate action and provides compelling evidence of the
weakness of arguments that frame climate policy as a win-or-lose
situation. At the same time, the book goes beyond providing yet
another description of climate change trends and policy processes.
Its goal is to make available, in a series of in-depth reflections
and insights by key international figures representing science,
business, finance and civil society, what is really needed to link
knowledge to action. Different contributions convincingly show that
it is time - and possible - to reframe the climate debate in a
completely new light, perhaps as a system transformative attractor
for new green growth, sustainable development, and technological
innovation. Reframing the Problem of Climate Change reflects a deep
belief that dealing with climate change does not have to be a zero
sum game, with winners and losers. The contributors argue that our
societies can learn to respond to the challenge it presents and
avoid both human suffering and large scale destruction of
ecosystems; and that this does not necessarily require economic
sacrifice. Therefore, it is vital reading for students, academics
and policy makers involved in the debate surrounding climate
change.
