Slowing down the consequences of climate change is not only possible but also economically feasible. Taking actions now and doing so together would be cheaper for all economies, less than 0.1% of GDP per year from now until 2050. (Video clip in Spanish).

Climate change is already with us. Scientific evidence shows that past emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) are already affecting the Earth’s climate. If current trends and policies continue, the result will be a rapidly warming world. Action is needed now to significantly reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the coming decades.

This paper provides an assessment of broad trends in progress on assessment and implementation of adaptation to climate change in “developed countries”, defined here as OECD member countries and/or Parties listed under Annex I of the UNFCCC. The analysis shows that climate change impacts and adaptation receive limited attention relative to the discussion of greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation policies.

New paper from the Annex I Expert Group on the UNFCCC
16-Jun-2005
The AIXG has just released an important new study on climate change: "Approaches for Future International Co-operation ", by Cédric Philibert (International Energy Agency), was published on 14 June. This paper provides a repertory of approaches for future international co-operation in climate change mitigation, based on the literature. Most options presented suggest various forms of agreements on policies and measures, and technology-focused approaches. All are building blocks for the reader to consider a much broader set of options by combining them in various ways.
