Publisher's Synopsis

This book examines the profound economic, political, and social challenges posed by climate change, on the basis of a rigorous analysis of the cost of doing too little to control it and of the costs, benefits, and trade-offs of various mitigation strategies. It uniquely explores the global economic mechanisms and power dynamics driving inaction. Packed with case studies and actionable insights, it bridges complex economic theories and links them to practical solutions, making it an important resource for policymakers, academics, and thinkers focused on solutions.
