William Hartston, The Independent

Trade paperback. Presumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. x, 517, [1] p. : Illustrations (some color plates). Glossary. List of Authors, Contributors and Experts Reviewers This is a special report of the IPCC Working Group II. The degree to which human conditions and the natural environment are vulnerable to the potential effects of climate change is a key concern for governments and the environmental science community worldwide. This book from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides the best available base of scientific information for policymakers and public use. The Regional Impacts of Climate Change: An Assessment of Vulnerability, first published in 1998, reviews information on potential impacts of climate change for ecological systems, water supply, food production, coastal infrastructure, human health, and other resources for ten global regions. It also illustrates that the increasing costs of climate and climate variability, in terms of loss of human life and capital due to floods, storms, and droughts, are a result of the lack of adjustment and response in society's policies and use of resources. This book points to management options that would make many sectors more resilient to current variability in climate and thus help these sectors adapt to future changes in climate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group II considers the vulnerability and exposure of human and natural systems, the observed impacts and future risks of climate change, and the potential for and limits to adaptation. The chapters of the report assess risks and opportunities for societies, economies, and ecosystems around the world. Very good. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Seller Inventory # 68540
