The Daunting Climate Change Science Impacts Adaptation & Mitigation Strategies Policy Responses | Physics

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.
