International agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol, EU regulation
and country-specific national climate policies offer some hope of
addressing climate change. But all too often implementation of
these high level objectives is derailed at the sub-national, local
and - perhaps most important - individual level, by a variety of
structural, policy and perceived barriers that result in a failure
of effective action. Drawing on original research from Sweden, a
world leader in effective environmental solutions, this volume
examines the difficulties of aligning climate policy from
international to national and sub-national levels. The authors
address the full range of barriers and complexities, including
governance structures, the relationship between 'experts' and the
public, political feasibility, tax measures, perceptions of
'fairness' and self-interest, and the importance of environmental
values. Also covered are the roles and perceptions of organizations
and professions, the place of carbon-free technologies (such as
wind power), the relationship between national and EU regulations,
and the monumental challenge of governing the climate in a bordered
and divided world. This volume is a vital source of information for
all those seeking to create effective, coordinated responses to the
challenge of climate change.
