TL;DR: The integrated assessment of climate change as mentioned in this paper is an attempt to combine information, analysis and insights from the physical sciences (physics, chemistry and biology, and all fields that build on them) and social sciences (economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and other fields) to address climate change and to develop possible policy responses to it.
Abstract: This Springboard Editorial Comment offers some general observations about what has been called “integrated assessment of climate change,” including a short history, current state of the art, and some fruitful areas for future research Although many definitions of integrated assessment are possible, the pragmatic definition adopted here is an attempt to combine information, analysis and insights from the physical sciences (physics, chemistry and biology, and all fields that build on them) and social sciences (economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology and all fields that build on them) to address the nature of climate change and to develop possible policy responses to it I will also comment briefly on the paper by Ackerman et al (2009) in this issue of Climatic Change, which contains some good insights, but is fairly distant in spirit from the state of the art I will describe
