Examining one of the most crucial issues in the modern world: human induced climate change, this book provides a refreshing interdisciplinary perspective and an up-to-date and informative analysis of the key issues facing society today.

Presents a way of looking at environmental policy, exploring the relationship between ecological economics and industrial ecology. This book provides a selection of recommendations for a product-oriented environmental policy, based on the author's case study of the IPP. It is useful for academics and policy makers.

Intends to contribute to new areas of research by examining the role of the private sector in addressing the challenges of climate change. This book also explores issues such as the risks posed by climate change to private investment in critical infrastructure, and the potential effectiveness of financial instruments for mitigating climate risks.

With contributions from distinguished authors, this work covers what you need to know about global warming and its financial implications. It is intended across the political and scientific spectrum.

Examines the watershed collaboration from an economic perspective as well as the possibility of alternative means of water protection such as regulation.

Provides, through the use of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelling, a quantitative analysis of the effects of alterations in environmental and trade taxation for the new member countries of the European Union.

Analyzes the performance of a cap-and-trade market established to reduce emissions in a more flexible and cost-effective manner than prescriptive or traditional regulation.

This book connects Georgescu-Roegen's earlier work such as consumer choice theory and a critique of Leontief's dynamic model, with his later ambitious attempt to reformulate the economic process as 'bioeconomics'.

Analyzes the determinants of environmental participation and its consequences in different parts of the world, focusing on whose values are forwarded through voluntary activities and how far voluntary participation is representative.

Unites sixty-three researchers in the area of experimental environmental economics and their explorations in its behavioural underpinnings, with the critical advantage of appealing to experimental and non experimental economists.

How can we value the environment? This book presents a debate on this issue. It also contains the analyses by such figures as Nick Hanley and Jonathan Aldred which ensure that future economic growth is not achieved at the expense of our environment.

Evaluating various approaches to environmental sustainability, this title critically reviews empirical studies of environmental degradation, and economic development. It is suitable for those concerned with environmental economics and political economy.

This book discusses environmental valuation of ecosystem services and economic instruments for biodiversity conservation and resource management.

The book reveals the changing dynamics of the helium industry on both the supply-side and the demand-side. The helium industry has a long-term future and this important gas will have a role to play for many decades to come. Major new users of helium are expected to enter the market, especially in nuclear energy (both fission and fusion). Prices and volumes supplied and expected to rise and this will prompt greater efforts towards the development of new helium sources and helium conservation and recycling.

This book presents a compendium of methodologies for evaluating the economic impact of technological innovation upon climate-change policy. There is a broad consensus on the key elements of climate-change science and agreement that near-term actions are needed to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. However, there is little agreement on the costs and benefits of climate policy. Any policy implementation will result in an irreversible but environment-improving investment in alternative technologies; this change will generate immediately-realized costs but significantly-delayed benefits. Hence, a critical element in policy selection is the inherent uncertainty in the climate and economy that can be expected over time.

This book presents a series of case studies exploring the innovation policies that various countries have introduced in a bid to enhance low carbon emission activities. They demonstrate the extent to which external events and institutional constraints from the international polity influence national innovation strategies.

Having long been at the center of global energy markets due to oil, the Gulf region has also stated an intent to be a leader in renewable energy. This book explores drivers for the widespread adoption of renewable energy and the impediments to success. Weighing this up, experts discuss the route forward for renewable energy in the region.
