Sommario/riassunto |
|
The international framework for a climate change agreement is up for review as the initial Kyoto period to 2012 comes to an end. Though there has been much enthusiasm from political and environmental groups, the underlying economics and politics remain highly controversial. This book takes a cool headed look at the critical roadblocks to agreement, examining the economics of climate change, the incentives of the main players (the US, EU, China) and examines the policies governmentscan put in place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately shift our economies onto a low-carbon path.The |
