Voluntary approaches (VAs) are increasingly implemented in
different countries as the main instrument in environmental
policies. The authors focus on the economics of VAs, their
advantages and disadvantages and how they compare with other
climate policy instruments. Voluntary Approaches in Climate Policy
illustrates how corporate voluntarism can be harnessed to mitigate
the climatic impact of business, and assesses the economics of VAs
at the firm level and in the context of climate policies. It goes
on to explore their efficiency and effectiveness, how they compare
and combine with other instruments, how they impact competition and
why they get adopted. Many questions are addressed and answered,
such as: * What kinds of VAs have been implemented in different
countries? * How did they perform under various economic and
environmental criteria? * What are the key factors in increasing
firms' participation in VAs? * How do VAs combine with other
climate policy instruments such as carbon taxes and emissions
trading? * How could they be designed for better performance? The
book also contains an overview of VAs with a summary of each
contribution, their main policy implications and suggestions for
future research. Highlighting the implications of VAs in policy
terms, this accessible book will appeal to a wide-ranging audience
including economists, social scientists, policymakers and business
managers, as well as environmental scientists and practitioners
with a specific interest in climate change.
