It is widely acknowledged that information, communication and education on climate change are important tools in the search for solutions to the social, economic or political problems climate change poses. But, despite the fact that much has been written about climate change, most works to date tend to focus on specific issues (e.g. climate modelling and forecasts), as opposed to addressing the problem in an interdisciplinary way as it should be. This book tries to address this perceived gap by providing a wide range of perspectives on climate change, which go over and above the traditional barriers seen among subjects. It is interdisciplinary in nature and comprehensive in scope.

Interdisciplinary Aspects of Climate Change is the 29th volume of the award-winning series Environmental Education, Communication and Sustainability and is one of the outcomes of Climate 2008, the world’s first online research conference on climate change. It is produced as part of the “International Climate Change Information Programme” hosted by the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences.

The book provides a long-needed contribution to a better understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of the subject matter of climate change and offers an overview of some of the on-going interdisciplinary projects and initiatives in this field taking place in different parts of the world.
