Preface

The book, a collection of fourteen essays, provides a comprehensive discussion and analysis of the legal and institutional aspects of world climate change and weather-related activities and problems. Its authors lawyers, social scientists, and academicians are experts on the subject, many of them having served as consultants to the U.S. government and various United Nations agencies. They discuss the problems and challenges posed by climate and weather changes in a political context, appraise several options for atmospheric management unilateral, bilateral and multilateral and make specific recommendations to reduce and ameliorate the adverse global effects of climate fluctuations and changes.

Acknowledgments

I owe a debt of gratitude to many friends, but I shall mention only a few names. First, I appreciate Robert Schware's initiative in suggesting and working toward a two-day conference on World Climate Change in the summer of 1980 at the University of Denver College of Law. The contents of this book comprise, with two exceptions, papers prepared for the conference and later revised.

The Aspen Institute of Humanistic Studies and the International Legal Studies Program of the University of Denver College of Law jointly assumed responsibility for the selection of the participants and for the program. Walter Orr Roberts and the undersigned co-chaired the conference. Dr. Roberts and Dean Daniel Hoffman of the College of Law were of immense help with their advice and assistance which ensured the success of the conference.

Mrs. Nancy Nones, administrator of the International Legal Studies Program, ably attended to the conference logistics and subsequently supervised proper typing and preparation for publication of the edited manuscript. I am especially thankful to her and to Richard Nelson and John Works, Jr., editors of the Denver Journal of International Law and Policy , for reading the manuscript and for their assistance with technical accuracy on four chapters which initially appeared in the Journal .

I deeply appreciate unfailing courtesies and wise counsel of two good friends at Westview Frederick Praeger and Lynne Rienner.

As editor and a contributor I am grateful to my colleagues at the University of Denver Law Library, Alfred Coco and Sue Weinstein, and, at the Denver Public Library, to Robert Shaklee and Sue Yoneda, for the use of their collections, especially their assistance with official documents of the United States and the United Nations.
