It provides an integrated assessment of research on the key topics that underlie current controversial policy questions." "The first part of the book addresses recent topics and findings related to the physical-biological earth system. The next part of the book surveys estimates of the impacts of climate change for different sectors and regions. The third part examines current topics related to mitigation of greenhouse gases and explores the potential roles of various technological options. The last part focuses on policy design under uncertainty." "This book will be helpful for graduate students, researchers and policymakers interested in all aspects of climate change and the issues that surround it."--BOOK JACKET.
