More DescriptionReducing greenhouse gas emissions is a major environmental challenge facing the world. We all want to reduce the risks of global warming, but how much will this cost? What will it mean on a personal, business, or community level? And what policy responses should we expect from our governments? "The Cost of Climate Policy" sheds light on these pressing issues.

The book concludes with concrete proposals for overcoming the constraints of environmental policy making and the high initial costs of action.
