| Description: |
Because climate change involves a wide range of interlinked problems, solutions must be pursued in an interdisciplinary manner. This book considers the integration of three scenarios - a low-carbon society, a resource-circulating society, and a society in harmony with nature-and presents a comprehensive vision of the future. |
| Synopsis: |
Climate change owing to global warming is a paramount concern for society in the 21st century, and it is not an issue that can be solved by individual academic or scientific disciplines working in isolation. Because climate change involves a wide range of interlinked problems, solutions must be pursued in an interdisciplinary manner. This book adopts just such a holistic approach in examining various aspects of global warming, and offers readers a comprehensive overview of the problem. |
