چکیده

www.sciencemag.org SCIENCE VOL 326 23 OCTOBER 2009 493 COVER A three-color mosaic derived from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M) near-infrared spectrometer. Orange and pink colors illustrate the distribution of iron-bearing minerals. Green represents the surface brightness at 2.4 micrometers. Blue indicates the presence of small amounts of surficial OH and H 2 O that are most prominent at these viewing geometries at cooler, higher latitudes. See page 568.

Mitigating Losses from Climate Change through Insurance

Climate change potentially amplifies catastrophe risks by raising the magnitude and frequency of certain extreme events in the long term. Its crucial feature is irreversibility. The availability and affordability of insurance will also be diminished in the presence of climate change. Weather losses can be mitigated by actions of the policyholder; however, the private returns from many mitigatio...

On the regional distribution of climate mitigation costs: the impact of delayed cooperative action

This paper analyzes the results of the climate-energy-economy model, REMIND, to assess the regional costs of climate-change mitigation for reaching the 2 ̊C target with a medium to high likelihood. We assume that the global climate regime remains fragmented until 2020 after which a global mitigation target is adopted. We decompose the regional mitigation costs into (a) domestic and energy trade ...
