Designing solutions to climate change

This book provides answers to today's questions and thoughts on solutions for
tomorrow contributed by some fifty scientists and well-known experts.

Proposing solutions for dealing with climate change has become a major issue
for the future of our societies. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, due in
large part to human activity, and lowering the vulnerability of our societies
and ecosystems through anticipation, adaptation and resilience, is vital. The
development of solutions to deal with climate change is an essential
counterpart to the 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP21), and this book
provides answers to today's questions as well as thoughts on solutions for
tomorrow contributed by some fifty scientists and well-known experts.
Consisting of around forty essays, it offers a global vision of the problems
linked to climate change, addressing developments in the behaviour of
societies, the economic and institutional contexts, as well as technical and
environmental issues. It provides an original perspective, drawing on the
broad diversity of critical approaches that are necessary for the construction
of innovative and smart solutions for the future of our Society.
