Description

A number of international, high-level science and policy meetings have been influential in the lead-up to the global climate change negotiations at Copenhagen. One of these landmark meetings was Greenhouse 2009, where those involved in research, policy and communication of various aspects of climate change provided the latest assessments of the science and likely impacts on Australia and the world. This book provides an important snapshot of the concepts and ideas presented at the Greenhouse conference.
