A summing-up.Economics and the Challenge of Global Warming is a balanced and comprehensive analysis of the role of economics in confronting global warming, the central environmental issue of the twenty-first century. It avoids a technical exposition in order to reach a wide audience and is up to date in its theoretical and empirical underpinnings. It is addressed to all who have some knowledge of economic concepts and a serious interest in how economics can (and cannot) help in crafting climate policy. The book is organized around three central questions. First, can benefit-cost analysis guide us in setting warming targets? Second, what strategies and policies are cost-effective? Third, and most difficult, can a global agreement be forged between rich and poor, North and South? While economic concepts are foremost in the analysis, they are placed within an accessible ethical and political matrix. The book serves as a primer for the post-Kyoto era.Economics & the Challenge of Global WarmingClimatic changesEconomic aspectsGlobal warmingEconomic aspectsClimatic changesEconomic aspects.Global warmingEconomic aspects.363.738/74BUS099000bisacshPearson Charles S.121097UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910781976603321Economics and the challenge of global warming3719873UNINA01194nam 2200421 450 991079834720332120200520144314.02-8044-8504-8(CKB)3710000000717354(MiAaPQ)EBC5494502(Au-PeEL)EBL5494502(CaPaEBR)ebr11601497(OCoLC)1049913414(EXLCZ)99371000000071735420190112d2015 uy 0freurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCode Bac pour l'Universite de Namur 2015Brussel :Groep Larcier,[2015]20151 online resource (7,256 pages)Codes thematiques LarcierCodes thematiques Larcier.LawStudy and teachingLaw schoolsCurriculaBelgiumLawStudy and teaching.Law schoolsCurricula340.0711MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798347203321Code Bac pour l'Universite de Namur 20153819849UNINA
