As an alternative, this book presents a framework on how to build effective and sustainable capacity systems to meaningfully tackle this long-term problem. Such a reframing of capacity building itself requires means of implementation. The authors combine their decades-long experiences in climate negotiations, developing climate solutions, climate activism and peer-reviewed research to chart a realistic roadmap for the implementation of this alternative framework for capacity building. As a result, this book convincingly makes the case that universities, as the highest and sustainable seats of learning and research in the developing countries, should be the central hub of capacity building there.?????????? This will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and policy-makers in the areas of climate change and environmental studies."--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record SUBJECT Conference of the Parties (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) (21st : 2015 : Paris, France) http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015070238 Conference of the Parties (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) fast (OCoLC)fst01409634 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992 May 9).
