Policy response should be proportionate to costs, benefits and needs
Policy response should be proportionate to costs, benefits and needs☜Even if it is real, man-made climate change is just one problem among many facing the worlds rich and poor alike. Governments and societies should respond proportionately, not pretend that climate is a special case.☜98CE71

Immediate action required☜The scale and likelihood of the anticipatable consequences of climate change demand immediate action on climate change by society. Humanity should act immediately to avoid or minimise the climate changes and impacts that are avoidable, and prepare to adapt to those that are not.☜59C6EF
