Hart (environment and natural resources, People’s U. of China, also a practicing attorney in Washington DC) concentrates here on the efforts to transform the global energy complex to be carbon
neutral in time to positively impact the environment. He is convinced that the private sector, rather than the public, holds the real key to this crisis. He starts by examining energy and
climate change challenges of the twenty-first century, then describes the politics needed to support private sector investments in clean energy technologies, the ＂cap and trade＂ movement, the
price of carbon and the cost of abatement, competitiveness, innovation, responses to carbon regulation, adaptation challenges and strategies, risk management approaches, and mobilizing the
private sector for sustainable development. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
