Climate Science is the subject of the book's introduction, which also provides an overview of the signs of warming, the effects, and the repercussions on several industries, including terrestrial and coastal ecosystems, water resources, ocean systems, agriculture, food production and security, human health and safety, livelihoods and poverty, Arctic populations, low-lying States, and so on. Mathematical models for predicting future climate and the associated concerns, global adaptation experiences, and future execution possibilities are also covered. The mitigation strategies, which primarily involve decarbonizing the energy sector by creating and implementing clean/low-carbon energy sources and enhancing energy efficiency, as well as the evolving geoengineering schemes, are also covered. Carbon pricing, an economic instrument for ensuring emissions reductions, and the transition to a low-carbon economy to promote sustainable growth are also covered. The book also vividly describes the ongoing global efforts under the UN or otherwise until the recent Paris Agreement to arrive at policy responses to tackle this intriguing but daunting problem of climate change. However, it is important to note that T&F does not sell or distribute the hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
