Omschrijving
This book explains the EU's climate policies in an accessible way, to demonstrate the step-by-step approach that has been used to develop these policies, and the ways in which they have been tested and further improved in the light of experience.
‘‘Towards a Climate-Neutral Europe. Curbing the Trend’ is a book to keep at hand, so that it can be consulted at any time there is a need to dig into the details of a certain EU climate policy question. Contributions cover all the key aspects of EU climate policy, from the EU Emissions Trading System to the energy sector and other economic sectors, including their development in the context of international climate negotiations. This choral effort results in a real instrument for the daily work of both public and private decision-makers, scholars, students and any interested reader having/wanting to deal with the fascinating and rapidly evolving EU climate policy space.’
