FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

This timely Handbook recognizes the emergence of climate change as the defining topic of our time. With public climate discourse growing more urgent every year, this Handbook brings together international experts from different economic disciplines to answer critical climate policy questions.   Chapters present key ideas and policies to support and accelerate advances in three key areas: the political economy of climate change and climate policy, integrated assessment modelling, and economic and resource sustainability. Contributors discuss the distributional implications of climate change and how policymakers may respond in order to contribute to economic transformation in the midst of a global crisis.   With reference to both theoretical and applied economics, this Handbook is critical reading for economists working in the field of climate policy and climate change. It will also appeal to a broader group of environmental scientists and scholars. Contributors include: L.M. Abadie, G.B. Asheim, J.K. Boyce, W.A. Brock, M. Budolfson, G. Chichilnisky, N. Chichilnisky-Heal, F. Dennig, J. Doyne Farmer, D.K. Foley, I. Galarraga, R. Hahnel, J. Hartwick, G. Heal, C. Hepburn, C. Hope, D. Iris, A. Markandya, P. Mealy, T. Mitra, T. Narasimhan, F. Nesje, I.
