On December 12th, 2015, at the United Nations Conference on Climate
Change held in Paris, 195 countries adopted the first-ever
universal and legally binding climate deal. They agreed to
decarbonize the economy in order to hold the increase in the global
average temperature to well below 2C relative to the preindustrial
levels. Although each country is free to design its own strategy on
mitigation and adaptation, it will be bound to such strategy and is
supposed to implement the bulk of the adjustments by 2050. Many
questions arise from the Paris Agreement that points to a second
Industrial Revolution. What are the required changes in the
structure of production and in the patterns of consumption? What
will be their impacts on emissions, employment and international
trade? This book answers these questions from a variety of
input-output models able to compute the impacts on specific sectors
and regions. This volume has 17 chapters written by 52 co-authors
who are specialists in input-output analysis and environmental
sustainability. They come from 24 universities, research centers
and international agencies all over the world, sharing their
commitments to explain important and complex ideas in a way that is
understandable to the non-experts and experts alike. Environmental
and Economic Impacts of Decarbonization is a very important read
for those who study environmental economics, climate change and
ecological economics.
