Climate Change, by Melanie Jarman (used)

Second-hand copy — condition: like new.

An engaging short guide to one of the biggest challenges facing governments today: how to deal with climate change. Melanie Jarman shows how countries are beginning to adapt and what others must do to catch up. Climate change will affect millions of lives, particularly in the poorest countries, yet many governments remain reluctant to commit to tackling it, held back by political tensions and economic concerns. The book charts the current progress of the global South and looks for new solutions to a global problem. Part of the Small Guides to Big Issues series.

Melanie Jarman is an environmental and political journalist who has written a monthly climate change column for Red Pepper. She is also the author of The Impact of Big Business and Rich World, Poor World.
