The Price of Climate Change: Sustainable Financial Mechanisms
presents a summary of the effects of global warming with specific
emphasis on what these phenomena will cost and the price we must
pay for trying to mitigate these processes. Some of these
mitigation strategies include reducing our use of carbon by
converting to non-carbon energy sources such as solar, wind, and
nuclear, or lower-carbon sources such as natural gas. The book
examines the financial implications of society adapting to the
effects of climate change, including rising sea levels, extreme
weather events, and desertification. Further, it addresses the
costs to make buildings more resilient to climate change, such as
flood considerations, improving durability against severe weather,
bolstering insulation, and more. Sources of funding for any type of
environmental projects, including those for climate change
mitigation, are also examined. These include governmental budgets
at the federal, state, and local levels, international development
banks, international capital markets, and private funds. Features:
Addresses global climate change issues from the standpoints of
mitigation, adaptation, and resilience and the funding mechanisms
for each. Describes different types of energy sources as well as
their respective costs, including nuclear, solar, natural gas, and
more. Examines the effects of agriculture on climate change as well
as the potential ways it can be used to help mitigate the issue.
The book's straightforward approach will serve as a useful guide
and reference for practicing professionals and can also be
appreciated by the general public interested in climate change
issues and mitigation strategies.
