Opis

Solar geoengineering could reduce climate change, but poses risks. This volume explores how it is, could, and should be governed.

Recenzje

'Reynolds writes in an excellent, accessible style and provides a full overview of the relevant literature. His interdisciplinary approach, combining political science, law and economics is a welcome departure from the many 'singlediscipline' approaches to geoengineering'. Axel Michaelowa, Environmental Politics
