The article analyses the task; points out the gaps in IPCC's past approaches to policy and decision making methodologies; and outlines elements of a paradigm that effectively bridges science and decision making, especially in the area of applying IPCC's global policies on the national and local levels, within the ultimate goal of sustainable development.Keywords:IPCCThird Assessment Reportpolicy R&Dpolicy process and methodologySustainable development FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Recommended Vol. 02, No. 02 Metrics History KeywordsIPCCThird Assessment Reportpolicy R&Dpolicy process and methodologySustainable developmentPDF download
