Recent reviews of environmental impact assessments have shown that impacts from climate change have been inadequately addressed and that the corresponding uncertainties have been addressed even more poorly within them. However, this inaction runs completely contrary to the principles of sound risk management, since a proper consideration of the impact from uncertainty increases, rather than decreases, the rationale for preventative action. Irrespective of climate uncertainties, decisions have to be made today and it proves a better course of action to adopt the precautionary principle when making these decisions by recognizing the uncertainties rather than by ignoring them completely. \u003cp\u003eRecognizing these shortcomings, \u003ci\u003eIncorporating and Communicating Climate Change Uncertainties in Environmental Assessments\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates methods for addressing, incorporating, and communicating the inherent uncertainties surrounding climate change in environmental impact assessments. Clearly, potential impacts from climate change require immediate attention because of the uncertainties, not in spite of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julian Scott Yeomans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595332951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595332953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Julian Scott Yeomans","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419093745919,"sku":"9780595332953","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_babcb490-cd6e-4d8e-9f65-f39de8c80af4.jpg?v=1761509420","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/incorporating-and-communicating-climate-change-julian-scott-yeomans-9780595332953","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
