In this volume, the contributors discuss some of the most
remarkable global warming effects in Argentina and examine policies
that Latin American countries could follow to achieve their
individual climate goals. Climate change is one of the most
pressing issues today. However, after many years of climate
negotiations, the world has failed to introduce a common global
policy. Differences in countries' climate agendas have led to
unsuccessful efforts. Countries willing to pursue a climate policy
have sought alternative strategies to mitigate and adapt to global
warming's consequences within their jurisdiction. In this context,
Latin American countries' role in shaping the regional climate
agenda is yet to be explored. The book covers some papers from the
well-received "First Workshop on Environmental Economics and
Energy" in Argentina. Using data from Argentina, the contributors
analyze the effects of global warming on agricultural yields and
the impact of extreme weather on human health. From a global
perspective, the contributors also describe the interactions
between a reduction in carbon emissions, carbon emissions
intensity, and economic growth; the role that trade policies can
play to reduce carbon emissions; and the paradoxes that arise from
promoting renewable energies in the region. The contributors also
address the relationship between sustainability and economic
growth; the private sector's role in shaping policies and providing
sustainable solutions; and the Latin American challenges for the
next generation. The book will be of interest to policy-makers,
academics, researchers, and professionals worldwide working in
climate change impacts and policy. It will also appeal to a general
audience interested in climate change economics, its consequences,
and the steps that countries in Latin America can take to move
forward.
