Sommario/riassunto

After nearly a quarter century of international negotiations on climate change, we stand at a crossroads. A new set of agreements is likely to fail to prevent the global climate's destabilization. Islands and coastlines face inundation, and widespread drought, flooding, and famine are expected to worsen in the poorest and most vulnerable countries. How did we arrive at an entirely inequitable and scientifically inadequate international response to climate change? In this book, the authors bring decades of combined experience as negotiators, researchers, and activists to bear on this urgent question.

Sommario/riassunto

Es a nosotros, que constituimos a esa especie intermedia entre indios y españoles, a quienes corresponde hacer la independencia; y la haremos a pesar del abandono de una Europa que se muestra indiferente a nuestros sufrimientos y que nuevamente permite nos sacrifique, la vieja serpiente que es España.
