The author summarizes the main issues involved in the changing global system, and gives an overview of the emerging field of integrated assessment.  He then presents a general discussion of the methodological principles of a multidisciplinary integrated modelling approach.  Existing tools are examined and new methodological approaches are applied to various aspects of the problem of global change.  The case studies focus on optimizing climate change mitigating policies, the allocation of emission rights and the the adaptive behaviour of social and biological agents.  Special attention is given to the role of uncertainty, especially the subjective interpretation of uncertainties (world views), and the role of adaptive multi-agent modelling.  The book concludes with a discussion on future uses of  integrated assessment modelling in the global environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eModelling Global Change\u003c\/i\u003e will be vital to economists and scientists who have an interest in integrated assessment modelling, global modelling and decision support, environmental and ecological economists and those interested in sustainable development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'. . . this is a book that anyone interested in integrated assessment modelling is advised to read.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents:  1.
