Addressing Climate Change through a Risk Management Lens
... Although climate change is a long‐term problem that will require sustained policy action for a century or longer, it is unlikely that we will be able to set climate policy today for the entire 21st century. Many uncertainties are so profound that they will not be resolved soon and, in some cases, ...
