This imaginary threat is said to cloud the real threat of a natural climate change and suggests for the adoption of a national climate policy that will allow the government the ability to recognize, manage and adapt to these changes.CARTER...
Most climate scientists conclude that humans have induced a large part of the climate change since the 1970s. Although natural forces such as solar irradiance and volcanoes contribute to variability, scientists cannot explain the climate changes of the past few decades without including the effects ...
Climate-change policy encompasses policies formulated specifically to tackle climate change and can be local, national or international in scope. These broadly fall into two categories; those designed to minimise the extent of climate change – climate change mitigation – and those intended to minimise...
For Canada's Inuit population, climate change is challenging internationally established human rights and the specific rights of Inuit as stated in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Mitigation can help avoid 'runaway' climate change, adaptation can help reduce the negative effects of curre...

If significant climate changes occur over the next 50–75 years, forests throughout the world will undergo massive adjustments, many of which will in the short term be undesirable. Forest management has high potential for mitigating these effects, but only with support of insightful policy ...
When policy experts debate climate change solutions,they often talk about"a price on carbon".They are arguing about whether companies should pay when they put carbon pollution in the air.But here's the secret that most people seem to be missing:There already is a price on carbon,and it's...
While Africa has contributed marginally to climate change, the continent will be disproportionately affected by it, particularly the agricultural sector. Climate change demands policy action to address mitigation and adaptation needs, and it poses opportunities in implementation of international instruments. ...

For fisheries resources, policy questions address effects on international, national, and regional scales. Climate change variables expected to affect inland and offshore fisheries include temperature rise, changes in the hydrologic cycle, alterations in nutrient fluxes, and reduction and relocation of ...
