Description
Environmental Economics: A Very Short Introduction by Stephen Smith This introduction to environmental economics explores how economic activity affects the environment and vice versa. It examines the trade-offs between reducing pollution and the costs associated with implementing policies to control emissions. The book discusses various environmental issues, including pollution control, reducing environmental damage, and global climate change policies. It answers questions about balancing environmental and economic considerations and outlines the form that government policies should take in addressing these concerns. By considering the interplay between economics and the environment, this Very Short Introduction provides a clear understanding of the key challenges facing policymakers and businesses today.
