Abstract

Anthropogenic climate change (in the following climate change) can be seen as one of the greatest “world risks” (Beck 1998) that human society has ever brought forth. With technological development and industrialisation, which largely builds on the utilisation of fossil fuel-based energy, human society has – initially unknowingly – started treading a path that leads to an unprecedented global challenge to humanity. This development pathway has not only created the problem but also slowly made us able to see it and understand it, and possibly and hopefully, it will enable us to solve it.
