Overview

<p>Shaping National Responses to Climate Change explores methods of designing, implementing, and gaining political support - both domestically and internationally - for strategies and policies to reduce greenhouse gases. The book frames the issue and assesses the economic, policy, and management tradeoffs involved in: <ul> <li>designing strategies for international agreements <li>developing and implementing the means to enforce international agreements <li>comparing alternative policy responses <li>transferring technology from developed to developing countries <li>making the transition from an international agreement to a domestic agenda to implement that agreement </ul> Rather than promote specific options, the authors present a strategic framework from which specific alternatives can be assessed and compared, and offer guidance and advice that will be essential throughout the decade.
