| Summary |
"It is a truth almost universally acknowledged that the impact of climate change is one of the most significant challenges facing the world today. Mitigating this impact will require profound changes in many economic, business, political and industrial spheres." "This book provides a sound analytical assessment of the key issues at the heart of the economics of climate change such as: the economics of the Kyoto Protocol, Cost-Benefit Analysis and Climate Change, Developing Countries and Climate Change." "With contributions from recognized authorities in their disciplines, this book will be appreciated by academics with an interest in environmental economics, climate change and energy economics. The book will also appeal to environmental consultants as well as policy-makers."--BOOK JACKET |
