Climate change is mainly caused by emissions of CO2 from burning
fossil fuels, which provides over 85% of the world's energy.
Strategies for mitigating climate change are connected with
handling economic and social activities through their effects on
the use of energy. Climate Change Mitigation investigates the costs
of mitigation measures in comparison to their benefits, and
compares the effects of implementing mitigation measures on various
areas such as energy security and energy economy. "For 20 years,
diplomats have struggled to make progress on climate change, mostly
because global diplomacy is not well-linked to the realities of how
nations and firms control emissions and adapt to the impacts of a
changing climate. In this excellent book, Dr Yamaguchi has
assembled experts to guide the redesign of global policy. The
authors underscore how global warming efforts must resonate with
other policy goals." David G. Victor, Director, Laboratory on
International Law and Regulation and Professor, University of
California San Diego "Climate Change Mitigation clarifies that
climate change cannot be controlled by sacrificing economic growth
or other global problems; however, action to control climate change
cannot be delayed.Climate policy is pervasive and affects all
dimensions of international policy;but it cannot be too ambitious:
a balanced approach between mitigation and adaptation, economic
growth and resource management, and short term development and long
term investments, should be adopted. I recommend its reading."
Carlo Carraro,President, Ca' Foscari University of Venice "The
International Energy Agency estimates for every $1 of investment
now toward sustainable energy, $4 of future spending can be saved.
There is a business case for companies to reduce energy use.
Companies in the energy and resource intensive industries must lead
the way." Chad Holliday, Chairman. World Business Council for
Sustainable Development and former Chair and CEO, DuPont
