Opis

The future of China, India and Asia's other emerging economies and their ability to take a 'low-carbon' and 'climate-resilient' development path will determine the future of global carbon emissions and climate change. This book looks at the neglected aspects of LCE and attempts to integrate both market-based and technology-based solutions.

Recenzje

"This book provides a comprehensive and detailed primer to climate-smart development. It covers all critical aspects of LCE and attempts to integrate both market- and technology-based solutions into a comprehensive approach for achieving LCE and climate resilience in Asia. […] The book should be particularly useful for policymakers, scientists, researchers, and students in the fields of low-carbon economy, clean and renewable energy, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and sustainable development in Asia as well as globally." – Wen J. Wang, University of Missouri, and Hong S. He, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Landscape Ecology
