It discusses the key conceptual, empirical and policy-related issues of low carbon development and takes an international and interdisciplinary approach to the subject by drawing on insights from across the natural sciences and social sciences whilst embedding the discussion in a global context.The first part explores the concept of low carbon development and explains the need for low carbon development in a carbon constrained world. The book then discusses the key issues of socio-economic, political and technological nature for low carbon development, exploring topics such as the political economy, social justice, financing and carbon markets, and technologies and innovation for low carbon development. This is followed by key issues for low carbon development in policy and practice, which is presented based on cross-cutting issues such as low carbon energy, forestry, agriculture and transportation. Afterwards, practical case studies are discussed from low carbon development in low income countries in Africa, middle income countries in Asia and Latin America and high income countries in Europe and North America.Written by an international team of leading academics and practitioners in the field of low carbon development, this book is essential reading for students, academics, professionals and policy-makers interested in the fields of low carbon development, climate change mitigation, climate policy, climate change and development, global environmental change, and environment and development"--Provided by publisher.Key Issues in Environment and SustainabilityEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspectsCarbon dioxide mitigationClimatic changesEconomic aspectsEconomic developmentEnvironmental aspects.Carbon dioxide mitigation.Climatic changesEconomic aspects.338.9/27BUS068000BUS072000BUS099000bisacshNordensvard Johan1979-1009752Urban Frauke1980-1009753MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792018503321Low carbon development3789602UNINA
