Book
Paperback. Condition: Good. 336 pages. Cover worn.The debate on the science is over. Clim ate change is real; it is happening even faster than previously t hought and it is powerfully influenced by human activities. As ev ents like Hurricane Katrina, the shrinking of the ice-caps and th e calamitous 2003 European heatwave remind us, climate change is not a future threat: it already profoundly affects the world we l ive in. Scientific evidence shows that dangerous climate change c an only be averted through concerted global action - not in 30 ye ars' time, but over the coming decade. Bold policies, informed pu blic debate and decisive political leadership are critical, yet m any countries - New Zealand among them - have been slow to act. W ith contributions by more than 30 leading scientists and policy e xperts, from New Zealand and elsewhere, this book will increase p ublic understanding about climate change and help to develop robu st, effective policies. It presents the latest scientific evidenc e, examines the likely impacts of climate change on New Zealand a nd the Pacific, and outlines a range of policy solutions. It is b ased on a major Climate Change and Governance Conference held in Wellington in March 2006. The overwhelming message is one of urge ncy, but also optimism: it is not too late to make a difference.

They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples.
