Special Report on Emissions Scenarios - A Special Report of Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Hardcover)

How will the world's climate change in the coming century? The answer depends on how human societies develop in terms of demographics and economic development, technological change, energy supply and demand, and land use change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios describes new future scenarios, and predicts greenhouse gas emissions associated with such developments. The scenarios provide the basis for future assessments of climate change and possible response strategies. This volume constitutes the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art assessment available of greenhouse gas emissions scenarios.
