Addressing the urgent need to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, Designing Climate Solutions provides a comprehensive guide to designing effective energy policies for a low-carbon future.
The authors offer a roadmap for understanding which countries, sectors, and sources produce the greatest amount of emissions, and provide tools for policymakers to select and design efficient policies. They break down each type of policy, from renewable portfolio standards to carbon pricing, offering key design principles and case studies where each policy has been implemented successfully.
This accessible resource is essential reading for anyone involved in shaping energy policy, whether you're a policymaker, activist, or philanthropist looking to make a positive impact on the climate. With its focus on cost-effective solutions and one-size-fits-all approaches, Designing Climate Solutions offers a practical guide to creating a low-carbon future.
