GLOBAL WARMING: MAKE THOSE TO BLAME PAY

International authorities say that climate change due to human activities is here and probably accelerating. The consequences of a rise in temperatures for a planet already facing water shortages and a population explosion could be catastrophic. Yet some nations - the worst climate offenders among them - are refusing to play their part to guarantee all our futures. A new briefing by nef looks at the possibilities of using legal, economic and trade sanctions to bring those who are "free riding" on the earth's resources into line.

Download the briefing featured in New Statesman this week and on BBC news and the Today programme.
