A number of international, high-level science and policy meetings were influential in the lead up to the global climate change negotiations at Copenhagen. One of these landmark meetings was GREENHOUSE 2009, where those involved in research, policy and communication of various aspects of climate change provided the latest assessments of the science and likely impacts on Australia and the world. This book provides an important snapshot of the concepts and ideas presented at the GREENHOUSE conference.

The chapters collected in this volume provide a summary of the state of climate change science, approaches to handling the impacts and adaptation measures we are likely to face, and how to communicate the issue in order to generate better decision making and behavioral change towards sustainability. This book features the latest Australian research and includes papers on emerging fields such as the need to include behavioral and social patterns to address climate change, as well as adaptation measures for agriculture, energy use and infrastructure that may be required.

The announcements, ideas and discussions at the GREENHOUSE conference continue to make an important contribution to addressing and tackling climate change.

Key features
Multidisciplinary, up-to-date and containing new ideas and suggestions that reach out to the behavioral science community
Overwhelming message that there is need for strong action and an important contribution to climate change dialogue
Represents the latest contributions from researchers, policy makers and industry.
