[edit] CONTRACTION AND CONVERGENCE
The global climate is visibly changing because of human pollution of the atmosphere. This briefing describes the dangers of global warming and explains the origins of the crisis. It shows how the global policy framework of 'contraction and convergence' has been developed to avert these trends.
Global Climate Change is very much in the news again. After the failure of the UN talks on climate in The Hague last November, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to the United Nations is making its Assessment Reports - which are being widely reported. The Science Group of the IPCC has just doubled their upward temperature projections, and the Impacts Group of IPCC has just published warnings of the catastrophic implications of climate change around the world if greenhouse gas emissions are not controlled. This Briefing describes the dangers presented by global warming, and explains the origins of the climate crisis. It shows how the global policy framework of 'Contraction & Convergence' (C&C), prepared by the Global Corumons Institute (GCI), has been developed to avert these trends. The C&C framework, which has been pioneered and advocated by GCI at the United Nations over the past decade, is based on the thesis of 'Equity & Survival'. It seeks to ensure future prosperity and choice by applying the global rationale of precaution, equity and efficiency, in that order. Many leaders from government, business and environmental organisations - including the French President Jacques Chirac - now support C&C as a realistic framework within which the International community can take the necessary action to solve the critical problem of climate change.
