Climate Change Mitigation

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Climate change is a significant threat to humanity's future. This means that a transition to a lower-carbon economy is unavoidable. Biochemical research is necessary for this transition, and will be an essential component of any climate policy. The editors have collected within this book the most recent research in this field. Included are chapters explaining climate change impact and sustainability issues; chapters focusing on biochemicals and biotechnologies that offer potential for offsetting and preparing for climate change; a section on the challenges that must be acknowledged, assessed, and overcome; and a final chapter that offers 12 reasons why safe climate policy is affordable.
