No Brainers and Low-Hanging Fruit in National Climate Policy

Edited by Francesco Caselli, Alexander Ludwig and Frederick (Rick) van der Ploeg

in CEPR Press Books from Centre for Economic Policy Research

Abstract: The target for global warming agreed on in the 2015 Paris Agreement implies that effective policies must be implemented to reduce emissions for the whole planet as soon as possible and reach net zero in the second half of the 21st century. This eBook, with contributions from economists working in more than 18 countries, provides timely and concise recommendations on achievable and efficient climate change policies that can be fast-tracked into implementation.
