Abstract

The justification for this book starts with climate change. The problem of climate change has been steadily worsening. Thirty years after the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was signed, only a few countries have substantially improved their practices. Most have not. Many plan to emit more greenhouse gases per year in the next decade (or decades) than they have in the past.1 Collective emissions continue to rise. Yet, in the official literature of the community of states, there is still hope. Despite critical deadlines being declared and missed,2 it would seem it is never too late to solve the problem of climate change.
