Abstract

The question of a gradually changing climate due to Man's emissions of ‘greenhouse’ gases has now become a major political issue. Scientific assessments during the early 1980s, and an international conference in Villach in Austria in October 1985, brought this issue firmly onto the political agenda. The World Commission on Environment and Development, popularly referred to as the ‘Brundtland Commission’, presented its final report to the United Nations in 1987, and their General Assembly discussed, on that basis, the matter of a Man-induced global change of climate for the first time in the autumn of 1987.
