Abstract

Recent natural catastrophes have catapulted climate into the headlines again. As we witness the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Katrina, we are also reminded of numerous floods, droughts, and storms seen across the world in recent years. Are these linked to climate change? Questions about climate change, its global effects, and whether and how we can tackle this issue can no longer be avoided. Fortunately, this summer at the G8 Summit in Scotland, the leaders of the world’s major industrialized nations agreed on the need to reduce carbon emissions; and although there is argument about the mechanism and timing, the case for moving to a low-carbon economy is essentially won. But we are faced with a rapidly changing global economy.
