Rezensionen
'Carbon markets are key to fighting climate change cost-effectively. This guide is timely as more and more countries follow Europe's lead in developing cap and trade systems. Linked together, these will establish a global carbon market over the coming years.' Stavros Dimas, European Commissioner for the Environment 'This book provides valuable insights into carbon markets, an important determinant of measures to mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases.' R.K. Pachauri, Chairman, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 'The creation of political will require strong and powerful arguments. That is the responsibility of us all and an important contribution of this book.' From the Foreword by Nicholas Stern 'Get this book, round up an accomplished professor, and spend a full semester together dissecting the contents. You are likely to emerge as a greenhouse gas emissions trading expert. ...[The authors] do not miss a beat.' Crosslands Bulletin 'This well-written volume provides excellent background on the evolving area of carbon markets...Few publications address the relatively new issue of worldwide carbon markets so thoroughly' S.
