The Parliamentarians’ Global Guide to Climate Change and Climate Solutions contains contributions from world-leading climate experts to provide policymakers everywhere with the latest evidence.

The new guide features chapters on the fundamentals of climate change, biodiversity loss, the polar regions, climate adaptation, finance, economics, the low-carbon transition, food security and production, carbon markets and the importance of the COP process. 

Coordinated by the University of Exeter, Arizona State University and the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the guide’s authors include international academic experts, climate leaders, and senior UN representatives.

Stuart Brocklehurst, deputy vice-chancellor, business engagement and innovation at the University of Exeter, said: “This guide builds upon the success of its predecessor by setting out for the world’s lawmakers the gravity of the risks we face should we fail to curb climate change.

“Equally as important, it aims to spur policymakers to action in the knowledge that a different path lies within our reach and our collective power to achieve.”
