The Little Green Data Book 2007

The 2007 edition of the little green
data book includes a new focus section, four introductory
pages that focus on a specific issue related to development
and the environment in this edition, carbon dioxide
emissions. The reports deem human causation of climate
change to be very likely. Late 2006 saw the publication of
the Stern review on the economics of climate change, which
emphasizes the major economic costs of climate change under
different emission scenarios and suggests that early action
to curb emissions will reduce costs substantially. As a
response to this renewed attention to climate change, the
focus section of the little green data book 2007 takes a
closer look at carbon dioxide emissions.
