A Global Contract on Climate Change

Climate Change represents an unprecedented challenge to global society. Unmitigated climate change will introduce large-scale risks to ecosystems and human societies, while its mitigation represents a major task for the world economic system. Ultimately, managing the problem of climate change will require the weighing of different kinds of risks arising from climate change, adaptation, and mitigation.
