The reports deem human causation of climate change to be very likely. Late 2006 saw the publication of the Stern review on the economics of climate change, which emphasizes the major economic costs of climate change under different emission scenarios and suggests that early action to curb emissions will reduce costs substantially. As a response to this renewed attention to climate change, the focus section of the little green data book 2007 takes a closer look at carbon dioxide emissions.CC BY 3.0 IGOBENEFITSBIODIVERSITYBIODIVERSITY ENERGYBIOMASSBIRD SPECIESCAPACITYCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONSCEMENTCENSUSESCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECO2COMBUSTIONCOMBUSTION ACTIVITIESCOSTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEDEFORESTATIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYEMISSIONEMISSION SCENARIOSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS DATAEMISSIONS GROWTHEMISSIONS OBLIGATIONSEMISSIONS TARGETSEMISSIONS TRENDSENERGYENERGY EMISSIONSENERGY USEENVIRONMENTFORESTFOREST AREAFORESTRYFORESTSFOSSILFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL COMBUSTIONFOSSIL FUELSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEGLOBAL CARBON DIOXIDEGLOBAL CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONSGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GASESGROSS NATIONAL INCOMEGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTHEATHEAT GENERATIONHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHYDROPOWERIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGELANDLESSLIVE BIRTHSLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMEMBER STATESMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMORTALITYMORTALITY RATENOOILOIL EQUIVALENTPARTICULATEPARTICULATE EMISSIONPARTICULATE MATTERPOLLUTIONPOPULATIONPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATIONSPOWER CONSUMPTIONPRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITYPROGRESSPUBLIC DISCUSSIONRESOLUTIONRURAL POPULATIONSANITATIONTRANSPORTATIONURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POPULATION GROWTHUSE PER CAPITAVULNERABILITYWASTEWATERWORLD EMISSIONSWORLD POPULATIONWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6967-8
