CLCH 0101
This course starts by looking at some of the weaknesses and data gaps that can be used to cast doubt on the validity of climate science. It then presents some discussion on whether or not to take action given the uncertainties and provides some evidence to suggest that action now would be more cost-effective than action later. Participants will then be given an overview of the international negotiation process and some of the key elements of the agreements that have been reached over the past 20 years or so. There is also some discussion on how effective these agreements are for achieving a meaningful stabilization of the climate. To end the discussion on climate change policy, participants are taken through the key milestones in developing a regional response to the threat of climate change and the key priorities that have been identified for the region.
