However, many companies have actually come out in favour of carbon pricing. In Business in a Changing Climate, Kaija Belfry Munroe examines this counterintuitive action and, in doing so, explains how large firms determine their preferences for public policy options. Her analysis of thirteen industrial associations and seventeen firms from industries such as petrochemical, forestry, mining, and steel, reveals that, despite the higher costs, these industries prefer carbon pricing over voluntary agreements. Based on enlightening interviews with executives, government, and NGO officials, Belfry Munroe argues that the acceptance of climate change policy by companies is determined by the risks posed to capital investments and investor concern. Business in a Changing Climate is the first book to ask major pollution emitting industries in Canada what their preferences are with respect to climate change. 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy. 676 $a363.738/746 700 $aBelfry Munroe$b Kaija, $0864168 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162788203321 996 $aBusiness in a Changing Climate$91928837 997 $aUNINA
