Book Description:
|
Drawing upon episodes of wartime mobilisations, this book lays out contingency climate action strategies based upon the relative optimism provided by rapid deployment of demonstrated and proven sustainable energy technologies that could effectively abate further emissions. While the book makes use of these historical lessons as blueprint for climate strategies, it also critically examines the appropriateness, limitations and challenges of the contingency plan.
