This comprehensive and thought-provoking volume explains in easily understandable language the potential effects of climate change on our planet and our lives.

- mitigation options and policies that could reduce the impacts of climate change.
- global impacts - with case studies are taken from North America, Europe, Australasia and elsewhere.
