DESCRIPTION
Climate Change is becoming a crucial topic in political spaces, the business world and civil society. With growing and devastating evidence of the influences of Climate Change in recent years, from forest fires in California to flooding in central Europe, it is tantamount that we consider how to mitigate the impact of civilization on the planet and that we plan accordingly to adapt to the worsening effects of climatic breakdown. Although the effects of Climate Change are technical, they are also political, institutional, and societal. According to Dr. Youba Sokona, former Vice-Chair of the UN-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, "It is technically feasible to transition to a low-carbon economy - but what is lacking are appropriate policies and institutions".
