Introduction to the Assessment - Characteristics of the Region
This scene-setting chapter provides the basis for the climate change-related assessments presented in later chapters of this book. It opens with an overview of the geography, demography and major human activities of the North Sea and its boundary countries. This is followed by a series of sections d...

This scene-setting chapter provides the basis for the climate change-related assessments presented in later chapters of this book.
