xv, [1], 122 p. Illustrations. Acronyms. Independent Task Force Report, 61. The Task Force advocates a strategy for advancing international cooperation, proposing that the United States seek a global UN climate agreement while also promoting other arrangements that may be less formal, limited both in scope and participation, but still highly ambitious. As a core part of that, it proposes a new Partnership for Climate Cooperation that would focus the world's largest emitters on implementing aggressing emissons reductions. Very good. Cover has slight wear and soiling.

�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Climate change is now near-universally recognized as a serious challenge. Statements from political leaders, industry CEOs, environmental groups, and major evangelical associations have made the expanding consensus undeniable. Yet the United States remains without a climate change policy that can command broad domestic support. This deadlock is entirely understandable: meaningful measures to address climate change would affect a wide range of important and powerful domestic interests. Such measures would also alter the international landscape, both for American business and for U.S. diplomacy. As consensus grows around the need to do something, the problem becomes one of translating that into a concrete and viable agenda for action.Led by former governor of New York George E. Pataki and former governor of Iowa Thomas J. Vilsack, the Task Force (made up of some of the nation's leading scientists, economists, business leaders and security and foreign policy thinkers) examines the economics, science, and politics of climate change. In this report, it proposes a comprehensive U.S. strategy to address the challenges that climate change presents, with special emphasis on those that explicitly involve foreign policy.
