This article describes European Communities Commission research programs addressing the issue of global change. Their policy is based on three major considerations: the urgent need for an effective response policy; cost-effective response policy measures; consequences of failure to act. The Commission considers that negotiations to stabilize carbon dioxide emissions should be launched at the Ministerial meeting scheduled for November 1990 on the occasion of the Second World Climate Conference in Geneva. These negotiations should aim at establishing, in parallel, a climate convention to create a framework for developing a global strategy, and protocols for immediate action on carbon dioxide emissions and on protection of tropical forests.
