Synopsis:
Although climate change is a global problem, there is a growing recognition of the need to look at its regional manifestations and management. This book takes such a regional approach to the Alpine region. The result of the on going Swiss research programme Climate and Environment in the Alpine Region (CLEAR), it incorporates the work of an independent network of approximately 50 researchers from a variety of disciplines. The Alpine region is a good focus for such a study because of the wealth of historical and contemporary data. The contributors explicitly recognize that climate policy involves not just environmental policy but also economic, agricultural, social, and urban policy. The science required for climate policy need not provide a single definitive answer to the problem of climate change. Rather, it can contribute a variety of insights, explanations, scenarios, and open questions to the public debate. The authors aim at a science for policy that helps to develop realistic options in an ongoing debate involving scientists as well as policy-makers and ordinary citizens.
