Benefits Of Climate Change Policies

The contributors address these important questions: - What is the nature of avoided impact benefits from policies that limit global warming and how do these vary by sector or region? - Can these benefits be quantified and monetized reliably? - How do adaptation and mitigation policies interact? - What is the nature of ancillary or nearer-term, local benefits of mitigation policies and how do they compare with other types of benefits? - How does the risk of abrupt climate change affect these benefits? - How might integrated assessment models help us to evaluate climate policy cost and benefit trade-offs? - Are there new ways to work with risk-based approaches to look at mitigation policy alternatives?Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Staff is the author of 'Benefits Of Climate Change Policies', published 2005 under ISBN 9789264108318 and ISBN 9264108319.
