Abstract:
Introduction; What is Climate Change?
Climate change is a long-term process that acts in a context of climate variability in the short term, and with many influences on environment and humankind. It takes place at the regional and global scale.
Historically, climate variability existed before and was produced by natural events, like volcanic eruptions and sun activity.
Nevertheless, climate change is currently associated with human impacts on Earth
Anthropocene; which relates to environmental changes induced and produced predominantly by human interventions.
This work addresses the complex interrelations and feedbacks between the environment system and the human system. It explores the potential of multilateral negotiations among governments, organized society, and business community on long-term sustainable development goals.
