HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT / v. Foreword. Climate change is now a scientifically estab- lished fact. The exact impact of greenhouse gas. Human Development report / Overview Fighting climate change: human solidarity in a divided world. Chapter 1 The 21st Century climate challenge.
The world's poorest countries and poorest people will bear the brunt. The past years have witnessed the emergence of a growing consensus on climate change.
Governments across the world have seen the warning signs. The science linking global warming to human activity is unequivocal.
The economic case for action is compelling: Yet the politics lags behind the science and the economics. Collectively, the world's governments are failing to act with the urgency demanded by the scale of the threat. The window of opportunity for avoiding dangerous climate change is closing fast.
This year's Human Development Report explains why we have less than a decade to change course and start living within our global carbon budget. It explains how climate change will create long-run low human development traps, pushing vulnerable people into a downward spiral of deprivation.
Because climate change is a global problem with global causes and effects, it demands a global response with countries acting on the basis of their historic responsibility and capabilities. The Human Development Report will be launched in November. Nielsen Book Data
