Global warming may be the greatest environment threat of the 21st century. Rising sea levels, violent floods, droughts and cyclones and changing agricultural conditions will threaten the lives and livelihoods of millions of people. Although the industrialised countries are mainly responsible, it is the developing world that will suffer most. This Panos briefing explains the issues and the concerns, the possibilities and the dangers, as 180 nations with profoundly different interest and needs face one another round he negotiating table.
