Environmental policy may produce effects which go beyond the
scope of the specific policy s initial aim. Reforestation, for
example, generates positive benefits not only in the shape of
climate protection but also in the shape of the combat of
biodiversity loss and it may also raise the attractiveness of a
region for tourists. There are several examples of environmental
policies, generating initially unintended co-effects. These
co-effects are not always positive, of course.
This book addresses the wide range of (co-)effects associated
with environmental policies which may increase or decrease the
attractiveness of these policies. Therefore, the book s scope goes
beyond the standard economic analyses, which regularly postulate a
specific cause-and-effect chain. The complexity and wide range of
benefits is investigated from different perspectives and by means
of different methodologies. Among the environmental policies
discussed are climate mitigation policies as well as adaptation
policies. The inclusion of all relevant effects of environmental
policy (and therefore not only of the primarily intended effects)
tends to have a strong impact on the efficient policy design.
The areas which are covered by the book will be of great
interest mainly for economists (environmental economics, ecological
economics), ecologists and political scientists as well as
practitioners, scientists and policy makers.
