The Elgar Encyclopedia of Climate Policy provides a comprehensive and compelling account of the causes and potential solutions to one of the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century: climate change. With deep intellectual rigour, this Encyclopedia adeptly surveys the nature and application of various international climate change policies.
Expertly analysing central topics such as carbon budgets and pricing, net-zero carbon, loss and damage, international trade policy, and digital climate solutions, contributors explore diverse policy approaches, policies, and technologies using case studies at both national and sub-national levels. Key concepts featured in climate debates, the roles of actors and institutions in problem-solving, the technology and policy solutions that are being used or should be considered, and the applications of proposed policies are all examined in an authoritative and pragmatic manner.
This innovative Encyclopedia is an essential read for academics and students interested in politics and public policy, environmental studies, the sustainable development goals, law, and regulation and governance.
Key Features:
● Accessible explanations of key concepts and debates
● In-depth coverage of case studies from across the globe
● Over 90 entries from international and interdisciplinary contributors
● Clearly organised into six thematic sections addressing theories and methods, evidence and impacts, concepts, actors, institutions and agreements, solutions, and case studies
