| Policy | |
|---|---|
1 | Adapt to climate change. Don't try to prevent it. We've adapted to changes in the climate before, and adapting might be less expensive than preventative measures. |
2 | Increase investment in climate science. Governments should immediately support increased research on the science of climate change to improve the predictions. |
3 | Offer economic incentives. Governments should offer financial subsidies and tax reductions to encourage cleaner technologies and energy efficiency and reduce deforestation. |
4 | Negotiate international agreements to protect the climate, taking effect by 2015. Addressing climate change will require massive changes to the way we use energy and natural resources. Timely international cooperation is critical. |
