Overview

"The global climate is now visibly changing because of human pollution of the atmosphere. According to eminent scientists and business people, its 'devastating trends' are the greatest challenge ever to face humanity." "The Briefing describes the global policy framework of 'Contraction & Convergence' (C&C), developed by a small organization called the Global Commons Institute (GCI) to avert these trends. The C&C framework, which has been pioneered and advocated by GCI at the United Nations over the past decade, is based on the thesis of "Equity and Survival'. It seeks to ensure future prosperity and choice by applying the global rationale of precaution, equity and efficiency in that order." "Many leaders from government, business and environmental organisations now support the C&C as a realistic framework within which the international community can take the necessary action to solve the critical problem of climate change."--BOOK JACKET.
