By consuming fossil fuels, clearing forests etc. humans aggravate this natural process. As additionally trapped heat exceeds the earth's intake capacity this consequently leads to global warming. The current concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is already 30% higher compared to pre-industrial levels and unmanaged this development is likely to result in an increase of up to 6.4° C towards the end of the century. Especially the poorest regions of the world are facing 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 606 $aClimatic changes$xInternational cooperation 606 $aEnvironmental policy$xGovernment policy 606 $aEnvironmental policy$xInternational cooperation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy$xInternational cooperation. 676 $a344.2404 676 $a344.2404/6342 700 $aWitthaus$b Ben$0931348 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461955603321 996 $aThe international climate regime and its driving-forces$92095111 997 $aUNINA
