Climate change and international climate policy in figures. An overview. 2. rev. ed.

Figures play a central role in the discussion on climate change. They are the starting point for an adequate climate policy and for informing the public. But what do the figures on emissions and reduction targets mean and, above all, where exactly is humanity today? Stephan Buhofer explains the most important climate indicators, analyses the background and offers insights into the theoretical aspects of climate science and climate diplomacy. It thus provides a factual and numerical basis for forming one's own opinion on the great challenge of today's world, climate change.
