Synopsis :

Despite continued progress in climate science, there remain several hurdles economic, technological, inter-generational between where climate science stands today and where it needs to be in order to provide dependable solutions to the threat of climate change. Identifying those hurdles and compiling a plan for addressing them is an important first step toward mitigating the effects of climate change. Advancing the Science of Climate Change addresses what can be done to better understand climate change and its interactions with human and ecological systems. The book considers both the natural climate system and the human activities responsible for driving climate change and altering the vulnerability of different regions, sectors, and populations as a single system. Advancing the Science of Climate Change presents an overview of the past, present, and future of climate change, including its impacts, and discusses impediments to advancing the climate science field. Recommendations to overcome these impediments include the implementation of new observations, research programmes, next-generation models, and acquiring both the physical and human assets needed to support these and other activities.
