The international community is increasingly confronted with global
environmental problems, which lead to distributional conflicts,
unresolved equity issues and asymmetric distribution of the costs
and benefits of environmental policy. The complexity of such
problems requires the development of an international institutional
framework, capable of coping with the long-run international
aspects of global environmental change. This book analyses some of
the difficulties in the construction of such a framework and offers
suggestions on how they might be overcome. The contributions in The
Economics of Global Environmental Change address international
trade, land-use change, biodiversity preservation, the management
of water resources and the composition of water-related conflicts,
global warming and strategic aspects of international environmental
agreements. This book provides an in-depth insight to the current
state-of-the-art for both economists and non-economists interested
in global environmental change. It will also be of great interest
to those wanting an introduction to the economic perspective of an
increasingly relevant environmental core problem, as well as to
students and researchers in political science.
