ISBN: 9781848130388 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to many scientists, climate change is a growing threat to life as we know it, requiring a large-scale, immediate response.

In this book, Frank Ackerman offers a refreshing look at the economics of climate change, explaining how the arbitrary assumptions of conventional theories get in the way of understanding this urgent problem. The benefits of climate protection are vital but priceless, and hence often...

ISBN: 9780821378878 / Angielski / Miękka / 319 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Climate change is arguably the most profound challenge facing the international community in the 21st century.

It already threatens the livelihoods, health and well-being of millions of people worldwide, and of the poorest and most vulnerable groups in particular. And it has potentially far-reaching implications...
