Through rigorous analysis of the facts, the author presents innovative recommendations for policy-makers and all those with an interest in making a healthier, happier society. The threat of climate change can provoke an escape from fossil fuel dependency, and make the transition to a cleaner, safer, more sustainable future.</P>Climate change mitigationRestoration ecologyRestoration ecologyEconomic aspectsConservation of natural resourcesElectronic books.Climate change mitigation.Restoration ecology.Restoration ecologyEconomic aspects.Conservation of natural resources.363.738/74561363.73874561Smith Alison1964-848563MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452551303321The climate bonus1895351UNINA
