Strategies for Climate Mitigation: A Handbook for Policy Design - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The book provides a practical, step-by-step guide to help policymakers formulate comprehensive mitigation strategies tailored to their domestic circumstances.

The core of the volume is a discussion of all the key elements of the mitigation strategy using conceptual frameworks for understanding policy options and design issues, as well as numerous quantitative analyses illustrating the effects of different measures across different countries. The discussion within chapters is broken down into a series of key questions, many of which routinely come up in discussions with country authorities and in international fora. Each question contains a concise response and, in many cases, a graphic illustrating the key points. Chapters start with a summary of main messages and end with suggestions for further reading.

The main target audience for the book is technical staff in finance, environment, and energy ministries grappling with national climate mitigation policy issues. However, the volume will also be a useful reference for individuals in international organizations, research institutes, and universities involved in climate policy analysis, as well as negotiating parties at international climate fora.
