| Summary |
This book analyses the deep interaction between the world's environmental crises, energy production, conversion and use, and global regulation policies. Bringing together experts from a wide range of scientific fields, it offers the reader a broad scope of knowledge on such topics as: climate change and exhaustion of resources; the relationship between basic science and the development of sustainable energy technologies; the relationship between global and local environmental policies; the possible competition between foodstuff production and that of agro-fuels; urban adaptation; negotiations at the international level; and financial rules. This book invites the reader to consider the multidisciplinary aspects of these urgent energy/environmental issues |
