'The authors take us into less-known corridors of climate
Realpolitik and energy power play. We are provided with the
essential vocabulary to understand what is at stake and how the
challenge should be tackled' Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan Global
warming and the resulting climate change present one of the
greatest potential threats humanity has had to face. Every country
contributes to them and they affect every person. Correspondingly,
the Framework Convention on Climate Change, negotiated at the Earth
Summit and since, is potentially one of the most significant
international agreements ever reached and its successful
implementation is vital if the threat is to be averted. This book
provides a guide to the Convention and explains in very clear terms
what is involved: the background which makes it so necessary; the
tortuous process involved in negotiating it; what it says; and most
importantly, how it must be interpreted and implemented, making
clear the scale of the changes involved and the dangers of evading
them. Sten Nilsson is leader of the forest resources project at the
International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. David Pitt is
a consultant to the Bellerive Foundation and Alp Action. They are
the authors of Mountain World in Danger, published by Earthscan in
1991. Originally published in 1994
