ISBN: 9780815706076 / Angielski / Miękka / 133 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Kyoto Protocol represents nearly a decade of interational effort to reduce carbon emissions, but it has not been ratified by any major greenhouse emitter and it has been rejected by the US. This text argues that the contemporary approach of international negotiations on the Kyoto Protocol is going in the wrong direction, and it offers what the authors believe is a blueprint for more effective policy. They believe that managing uncertainly - particularly the future costs of any plan - is key to realistic climate policy. They maintain thatsustainable policy should meet four basic criteria:...

ISBN: 9780815773092 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few public policy issues seem as hopeless as global climate change. Mounting evidence shows that accumulating levels of greenhouse gases are already beginning to alter climate patterns, and this only intensifies concerns about long-term dangers. In turn, potential policy remedies appear feckless. Prospects for implementation of the Kyoto Protocol are highly uncertain even among nations that have ratified the accord. At the national level, the United States, which is the leading source of greenhouse gases, remains completely disengaged from the Kyoto process. Increasingly, other developed...
