Climate change is now widely recognized as the major environmental problem facing the globe. In large part this is due to the production of energy using fossil fuels. The ultimate question of most policy makers now is how to reduce the climate change vulnerability of socio-economic systems in the most cost-effective manner. This interdiscipliner book will engage with this main question and focus particularly on public policies that would reduce environmental polution, induce environmental innovation, and green development.

Objective

The primary objective of the proposed publication is that of Reference material for scholars, public and private sector practitioners, and university students who need to better understand the growing importance of climate change mitigation, renewable energies, clean technologies, and green development.
