Demystifying Climate Risk Volume I: Environmental, Health and Societal Implications (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781527500136)

This book is a distillation of the First Annual International Technical Workshop on Climate Risk held in 2016 in Wells, Maine, USA. It is organized into three major themes, namely: environmental, health and societal impacts; the special case of Africa; and advances in education.

The volumeâ (TM)s premise is that, long before the 2015 Paris Agreement, many professionals from diverse fields were working to solve the problems of human-caused climate change. The 1987 Montreal Protocol is now in support of a key emission reduction goal of the Agreement. It was time for the seasoned leaders who implement the Protocol, the worldâ (TM)s most successful treaty for atmospheric protection, to share their knowledge and wisdom with the next generation before that expertise was lost. The purpose of bringing these communities of practice together is to leverage the many successes to date to inspire future innovations through â ~lessons learnedâ (TM); ensure that new or updated regulations are timely communicated and economically executed; and identify opportunities for related sustainable development.
