Climate change is larger than a state, a region, or a country; climate change affects multitudinous people in multitudinous different ways; climate change is without borders.
It is for these reasons why climate change governance based in science is so important.
Michael Bloomberg, a former mayor of New York with substantial knowledge on climate change has professed the important of the role of governance when it comes to climate change issues. He has the authority to speak on this matter, in particular, because of his prior experience in government.
"The Elders" who assert that policy descriptions must show a clear basis in sound science in order to be of any substantial use. The Elders are "independent global leaders - originally brought together by Nelson Mandela - who offer their collective influence and experience to support peace building, help address major causes of human suffering, and promote the shared interests of humanity". Climate change is an issue that relates to all of these factors, and as such, The Elders have the authority to speak on this matter.
To conclude - in order to prevent the negative effects of climate change from becoming even more severe - policyinformed by verified science must become the norm!
