Representing dynamic uncertainty in climate policy deliberations

Article Abstract:

The major concerns about the uncertainty in understanding the climate systems by the policy makers are discussed, which include the continuous dependence on the cost-benefit approach to organize their ideas, the embedded acceptance of the notion that uncertainty will decrease with time and the continuous negligence of change as an alternative to uncertainty. It is concluded that uncertainty is the reason and mitigation and adaptation are the tools of the policy makers to treat the problem.

Article Abstract:

An overview is presented on the current environmental status of Azerbaijan, along with an assessment of the nation's potential for remediation.
