Climate Change 2001: Synthesis Report
Climate Change 2001: Synthesis Report
CAD$139.95
The Climate Change 2001 volumes of the Third Assessment Report of the IPCC provide the most comprehensive assessment of climate change since its second report, Climate Change 1995. This Synthesis Report provides a policy-relevant, but not policy-prescriptive, synthesis and integration of information contained within the Third Assessment Report and also draws upon all previously approved and accepted IPCC reports that address a broad range of key policy-relevant questions. For this reason it will be especially useful for policy makers and researchers, and as a main or supplementary student textbook for courses in environmental studies, meteorology, climatology, biology, ecology, and atmospheric chemistry.
- THE international, impartial summary on all aspects of climate change
- State-of-the-art analysis, for students and researchers
- Contains contributions from and is edited by the best international researchers on climate change
Reviews & endorsements
"[T]he authors present convincing data, colorful schematics and figures, and working group summaries that explain the science of climate change, summarize impact as well as vulnerabilities, and finally, present mitigation strategies. This is a slick report that condenses global strategies intended to avoid loss of biodiversity while retaining sustainable production of key foods.... Recommended." Choice
