The new Handbook of the Economics of Climate Change Volume 1 provides readers from a broad range of backgrounds – including students, researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners – with a central reference for core elements the economics of climate change: Integrated Climate-Economic Modeling, Empirical Approaches to Climate Change Impact Quantification, Discounting, Mitigation Costs, Adaptation, Climate Policy Options, International Cooperation, and Uncertainty. Leading scholars present timely and accessible overviews on each of these topics, providing interested readers with a broad understanding of key issues and engaged scholars with a foundation for embarking on research in this field.
