Ambitious measures to reduce carbon emissions are all too rare in reality, impeded by economic and political concerns rather than technological advances. In this timely collection of essays, Frank Ackerman and Elizabeth A. Stanton show that the impact of inaction on climate change will be far worse than the cost of ambitious climate policies.
“There is no better guide to the thicket of climate change economics than this insightful new book by Ackerman and Stanton. They uncover where the bodies are buried in conventional economic modeling, and reinvigorate the dialog with a commonsense approach to the economics of this civilizational challenge.” —Eban Goodstein, Director and Faculty, Bard MBA in Sustainability, and Director, Bard Center for Environmental Policy
