Climate change is currently at the centre of scientific and
political debate, and the need for well-designed international
climate policies is widely recognised. Despite this, the complexity
of both the climate change problem and the international
negotiation process has resulted in a large number of outstanding
issues which still require attention. The authors of this book
attempt to address and resolve some of the problems which have
remained on the climate change agenda, without serious action, for
far too long.The authors contribute to the many discussions on
international climate policy and provide an in-depth analysis of
the main characteristics of the problem of climate change. They
highlight the various potential solutions to the problem and their
consequences, and look at the development and implementation of the
international climate regime. Adopting a long-term perspective,
they pay particular attention to the economic, institutional,
political and social aspects of climate change. Issues in
International Climate Policy is a comprehensive book which makes
the complicated themes and issues accessible to a wider audience.
It will be invaluable reading for all scientists, policymakers and
environmental economists with a serious interest in climate change
and the negotiation process.
Over fifty years of global conservation has failed to bend the
curve of biodiversity loss, so we need to transform the ways we
govern biodiversity. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity aims
to develop and implement a transformative framework for the coming
decades. However, the question of what transformative biodiversity
governance entails and how it can be implemented is complex. This
book argues that transformative biodiversity governance means
prioritizing ecocentric, compassionate and just sustainable
development. This involves implementing five governance approaches
- integrative, inclusive, adaptive, transdisciplinary and
anticipatory governance - in conjunction and focused on the
underlying causes of biodiversity loss and unsustainability.
Transforming Biodiversity Governance is an invaluable source for
academics, policy makers and practitioners working in biodiversity
and sustainability governance. This is one of a series of
publications associated with the Earth System Governance Project.
