Innovative Economic Policies for Climate Change Mitigation
Ships in 3–5 business days
Climate change mitigation is still possible, if innovative economic policies are implemented. This book provides a large array of proposals by 30 economists from developing and developed countries.
High and senior level policymakers (and their staff) will find fundamental outlines and insights for negotiating and laying down NAMAs (Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions) and Climate Action Plans at national, sub-national, city and sectoral levels.
With more than 20 "recipies" ranging from the most technology-oriented to the most human-related, this book is revolutionary because:
1. It leads the reader from the context to the implementation details
2. It reverses classical textbook proportions of "90% analysis and 10% proposals" in favor of "90% proposals and 10% analysis"
3. It relates each policy to a number of co-benefits to synergize climate mitigation with business profits and growth, employment, and quality of life.
Presented at a COP15 side-event, the book is inspiring actions worldwide.
