Because climate change involves a wide range of interlinked problems, solutions must be pursued in an interdisciplinary manner. This book adopts just such a holistic approach in examining various aspects of global warming, offering a comprehensive overview. First, the mapping of knowledge about global warming is presented as a framework for addressing the issue. This is followed by a discussion of risk in relation to global warming and of the communication of risk between academia and society.

Finally, the book considers the integration of three scenariosa low-carbon society, a resource-circulating society, and a society in harmony with natureand presents a comprehensive vision of the future."
