The Human Perturbation of the Carbon Cycle Published by: UNESCO-SCOPE -UNEP Policy Brief n°10
Language: English
"The carbon cycle is closely linked to the climate system and is influenced by the growing human population and associated demands for resources, especially for fossil-fuel energy and land. The rate of change in atmospheric CO2 reflects the balance between carbon emissions from human activities and the dynamics of a number of terrestrial and ocean processes that remove or emit CO2. The long-term evolution of this balance will largely determine the speed and magnitude of humaninduced climate change and the mitigation requirements to stabilize atmospheric CO2 concentrations at any given level."

At the national level, administrations tend to be organized along sectoral lines, with ministries and departments of agriculture, forests, health, education, and so on. But the challenges that we face in our contemporary world are rarely confined to a particular sectoral field or technical domain.
