Climate change mitigation is still possible, if innovative economic policies are implemented, such as those provided by this book: a large array of proposals by 30 economists from developing and developed countries.
High and senior level policymakers (and their staff) will find fundamental outlines and insights for negotiating and laying down NAMAs (Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions) and Climate Action Plans at national, sub-national, city and sectoral levels.
With more than 20 "recipes", this book is revolutionary because:
1. it leads the reader from the context to the implementation details;
2. it reverses classical textbook proportions of "90%%%% analysis and 10%%%% proposals" in favor of "90%%%% proposals and 10%%%% analysis";
3. it relates each policy to a number of co-benefits to synergize climate mitigation with employment, competitiveness, and happiness. This second edition 2012 builds upon the experience gained in implementation worldwide.
