Into a Warming World
The report considers the following: How do we adapt to the warming that is headed our way, no matter what we do now? How will the world deal with the fact that the climate burden will fall heaviest on countries whose contributions to climate change have been the most modest?
And even as we struggle to adapt, how does society maintain focus on slashing emissions to a pale shadow of their current levels? As the drive to advance living standards continues and the world population continues to grow, what new technologies, behaviors, institutions and agreements, and even ways of governing will emerge from this challenge?
