Description
Climate Change and Development provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges posed by climate change to development, and explores alternative pathways for tackling these issues. The book examines the science, drivers and impacts of climate change, as well as responses at different spatial scales, including international, regional, national and non-governmental approaches. The authors assess various instruments and competing approaches for addressing climate change as a development concern, including market-based measures, regulatory instruments, and voluntary agreements. They also present critiques of 'development-as-usual' and alternative visions of development in a warming and carbon-constrained world. This book brings together insights from natural and social science disciplines to provide a nuanced understanding of the climate-development nexus, and explores the intellectual and scientific underpinnings of the Green Economy as an alternative to traditional conceptions of development.
