The Ethical Underpinnings of Climate Economics
ISBN: 9781138122963 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

They have thus offered theoretical and empirical instruments for the design and implementation of a range of climate policies, but the ethical assumptions included in the calculations are usually left unarticulated. This book,... Despite their obvious importance, the ethical implications of climate change are often neglected in economic evaluations of mitigation and adaptati... |
