Climate Change

Chapter Chapter 8 in What Environmentalists Need to Know About Economics, 2010, pp 83-99 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Climate change is the most daunting issue the environmental community has ever faced; it is fraught with huge uncertainties, requires intense international cooperation, and portends a major transition in almost all aspects of the global economy. The closest the international community has come to taking on an environmental issue of this magnitude was the effort to stop ozone depletion, which resulted in the one of the most effective international treaties ever enacted: the Montreal Protocol.1
