A widespread concern among many of the participants in the newly formed United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was that the emission reductions needed to significantly affect climate change would cost so much that it could jeopardize the chances of a coordinated international solution. To address this concern, several flexible mechanisms weWorld Scientific series on the economics of climate change ;v. 1.Climate change mitigationEconomic aspectsClimate change mitigationInternational cooperationClimatic changesEconomics aspectsEnvironmental economicsClimate change mitigationEconomic aspects.Climate change mitigationInternational cooperation.Climatic changesEconomics aspects.Environmental economics.338.927Dinar Ariel511900Larson Donald F.Rahman Shaikh Mahfuzur1968-MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910808579903321The clean development mechanism (CDM)4115993UNINA
