This article argues that climate change is an issue that should be of serious concern to both moral philosophers and humanity at large.Read More →
Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use Emissions by Sources and Removals by Sinks
This report discusses new knowledge on anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) activities made available through the new FAOSTAT Emission database.Read More →
Detection of Human Influence on Sea-level Pressure
This study found increases in sea-level pressure due to human activity and observed that climate models underestimate the magnitude of the sea-level pressure response, leading to an underestimation of the climate impacts on the European climate.

Responsibility for Past and Future Global Warming: Time Horizon and Non-Linearities in the Climate System
This report suggests a new ‘non-linear’, but transparent, approach for attributing CO2 concentrations, which would generally reduce Annex-I contributions. Read More →
Introduction: An Architecture for Climate Protection
This chapter describes the issue of climate change and addressing it and probes the key architectural elements that could collectively
