200Policy Brief - OECD
OECD 2007 ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Policy BriefAUGUST 2007 Climate Change PoliciesIntroductionClimate change is already being observed through rising temperatures, melting glaciers, shifting rain patterns, increased storm intensity and rising sea levels. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities mainly fossil fuel use, deforestation and agriculture cause climate change. If GHG emissions are not reduced to significantly below current levels within the next few decades, there will be further warming and sea-level rise for centuries to come. This will result in adverse impacts on human health, natural ecosystems, and the risk of serious climate change impacts suggests that urgent action is needed to significantly reduce GHG emissions in the coming decades.
