| Description: | Climate change is a global problem, with global causes and effects. Preventing dangerous man-made climate change and dealing with the impacts that cannot now be avoided requires efforts by all countries, consistent with their responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions, their capacity to take action, and the effects they will experience.
The Government believes that climate change is the greatest long-term challenge facing the world today. There is strong evidence that climate change is happening and that man-made emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are its main cause. |
