The Making of Low Carbon Economies looks at how more than two
decades of sustained effort at climate change mitigation has
resulted in a variety of new practices, rules and ways of doing
things: a period of active construction of low carbon economies.
From outer space observations of the carbon in tropical forests, to
carbon financial reporting, and insulating solid masonry walls,
these diverse things, activities and objects are integral to how
climate change has been brought into being as a problem. The book
takes a fresh look at society's response to climate change by
examining a diverse array of empirical sites where climate change
is being made real through its incorporation into everyday lives -
a process of stitching climate concerns into the discourse and
practices of already existing economies, as well as creating new
economies. The Making of Low Carbon Economies adds fresh insights
to economic sociology and science and technology studies
scholarship on the multiple origins and heterogeneous operation of
markets, demonstrating the constraints and opportunities of an
economic framing of the problem of climate change. It covers the
obvious (and now well-researched) topic of carbon markets, as well
as new more unusual material on the low carbon reframing of already
existing markets and economies.
