Tackling climate change Background
Rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are changing the climateTo avoid dangerous changes, will need to stabilise greenhouse gas concentrationsIPCC1 has indicated that deep reductions (>60%) will be required in global emissions To stabilise atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, will eventually need zero netemissions
