Why Are We Waiting? - The Logic, Urgency, and Promise of Tackling Climate Change

Beschreibung

The risks of climate change are potentially immense and the benefits of taking action are also clear. Why, then, are we waiting? In this book, Nicholas Stern explains why, notwithstanding the great attractions of a new path, it has been so difficult to tackle climate change effectively. He makes a compelling case for climate action now and sets out the forms that action should take.
