About the book :
The final Report of the Climate Train, a journey by train and boat from
Europe to the UN Climate Convention in Kyoto in late
1997 by a group of 36 scientists, environmental activists, politicians
and students from 14 countries, is now available.
Containing over 60 pages including about 120 colour photos and other
graphics, the report gives a vivid and colourful account
of the motivations behind the Climate Train and the successes and frustrations
involved in its undertaking.
As well as the story of the journey itself, the conferences and meetings
with scientists and politicians on the route, and the
Climate Train contribution to the COP3, the Report also contains an
introduction to the science and politics of climate change,
an ecobalance calculation for the journey and discussion of aircraft
and global warming, the story of how the Climate Train
came to happen, a summary of media coverage, a summary of the budget,
and an evaluation of the whole project with many
quotes from participants. It is hoped that it will serve both to inspire
people to travel more sustainably in the future, and to
provide a lasting account of a memorable trip. As well as the serious
sections, it contains many amusing anecdotes.
