Resource guide for advanced learning on: the scientific fundamentals of climate change
This guide is part of a series developed through UN CC:Learn to facilitate access to existing state-of-the-art materials relevant for climate change learning on particular topics. It is written from the perspective of a learner who perhaps understands the basics of a topic but is seeking to obtain a more advanced understanding by gaining quick access to the most relevant learning materials. The guide covers selected climate change topics that have been identified as a priority from a country perspective such as: i) climate and the factors shaping the Earth’s climate; ii) historical climate variations; iii) meteorological consequences of climate variability and change; iv) the human contribution to climate variability; and v) global emission scenarios and climate change.
UN CC:Learn is a partnership of more than 30 multilateral organizations supporting countries to design and implement systematic, recurrent and results-oriented climate change learning.
