Climate and Trade Policy: Bottom-up Approaches towards Global Agreement

Authors: Carlo Carraro, Founding Fellows CMCC, Christian Egenhofer

The difficulty of achieving and implementing a global climate change agreement has stimulated a wide range of policy proposals designed to favour the participation of a large number of countries in a global cooperative effort to control greenhouse gas emissions. This new book, edited by Carlo Carraro, Professor of Econometrics and Environmental Economics, University of Venice, and Research Director, Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), Milan and Venice, and Christian Egenhofer, CEPS Senior Fellow, analyses the viability of controlling climate change through a set of regional or sub-global climate agreements rather than via a global treaty. The volume also contains contributions by CEPS researchers Noriko Fujiwara and David Kernohan.
