Economics and management of climate change: risks, mitigation and adaptation

Placing special emphasis on the impact of climate change risks on business, this book investigates in which way selected sectors of the economy are affected by and what measures they can undertake to adapt to climate change risks.

Bringing together an international group of scholars from environmental economics, political science and business, this book describes, analyses and evaluates climate change risks and responses of societies and companies. The book contributes to the question of how climate change can be mitigated by discussing efficient and effective design of mitigation measures, in particular emissions trading and clean development mechanism (CDM).
