Title				Our Planet: Climate Change
Author				Various Published by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)
Abstract				December, 1997 issue of this journal includes: Editorial by Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Executive Director, UNEP. The heat is on by Robert Watson (Director of the Environment Department of the World Bank and Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) explains that the decisions taken at Kyoto will affect the world for millennia. Everything to gain by Robin Cook (Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, United Kingdom) describing global warming as a threat without parallel, says that those that move to combat it now will gain economically. A new partnership to make a difference by John Browne (Group Chief Executive of British Petroleum) calls for industry to meet the challenge and opportunity of global warming and outlines what his oil company is doing. Scaffolding or scaffold? by Neroni Slade (Ambassador of Samoa to the United Nations and Chairman of AOSIS) argues that the Convention on Climate Change remains an empty framework, imperilling the survival of small island states. Turning to the sun by Jai Narain Prasad Nishad (Minister of State for Non-Conventional Energy Sources, Government of India) outlines India's strategy for conserving fossil fuels and mitigating climate change by developing renewable sources of energy. A matter of convention by Michael Zammit Cutajar (Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) examines the philosophy behind the Convention on Climate Change and the role that the Kyoto Conference will play in reaching its goal. Viewpoint: The lion in the dark by R. Shakespeare Maya (Executive Director of the Southern Centre for Energy and Environment, Harare, Zimbabwe) argues that developing countries have become their own worst enemies by failing to take a strong enough negotiating position on climate change. The South is acting by A. Atiq Rahman (Director of the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies, Dhaka, and Coordinator of the Climate Action Network, South Asia) describes voluntary action on greenhouse gases by developing countries, and says that the North must stop taking the planet hostage. Carbon for sale! by Christiana Figueres and Anne Hambleton (Center for Sustainable Development in the Americas) describe a win-win strategy for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions in developing countries. Current events by Michael H. Glantz ( National Center for Atmospheric Research) examines the El Nino phenomenon and discusses suggestions that recent events may be related to global warming.

Title				Profiles in Carbon: An Update on Population, Consumption and Carbon Dioxide Emissions
Author				Robert Engelman
Abstract				1998 report follows up on a 1994 report Stabilizing the Atmosphere: Population, Consumption and Greenhouse Gases" by the same author. "Expanding people's power to plan their families could help pave the way to a stable climate, according to a new analysis of per capita greenhouse gas emissions from Population Action International (PAI). The resulting slower rates of population growth would facilitate development of an equitable system of tradable emissions permits that could improve the economic prospects of poorer countries while encouraging global emissions reductions."

Title				Stabilizing the Atmosphere: Population, Consumption and Greenhouse Gases
Author				Robert Engelman
Abstract				This 1994 report addresses the effect of population upon the generation of greenhouse gases in general and carbon dioxide in particular. Acting from the viewpoint that the atmosphere ì represents a finite global resource, Engelman argues that ì stabilizing the world population "increases the likelihood that ì tolerable levels of individual resource consumption will be ì compatible with equity and a stable climate, and thus ì sustainable....Only global population stabilization will preserveì the portion of the atmosphere available to each individual." Theì document includes seven charts, two tables, based on 1990 ì figures, the latest year prior to publication with authoritativeì data on both population and industrial CO2 emissions by country.
