Written by one of the leading experts in the field, Paul Ekins,
Stopping Climate Change provides a comprehensive overview of what
is required to achieve Real Zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050,
and negative emissions thereafter, which is the only way to stop
human-induced climate change. This will require innovation in
socio-technical systems, and in human behaviour, on an
unprecedented scale. Stopping Climate Change describes the changes
required to meet this goal: in technologies, social institutions
and individual activities. Paul Ekins examines in detail issues
around the supply and demand of energy and materials, and the
efficiency of their use. It also analyses greenhouse gas removal
technologies, offsetting and geoengineering, and plots the
reduction of the non-CO2 greenhouse gas-emitting activities. Having
set out the changes required, Ekins considers the economic
implications, both in terms of the innovation and investments that
are necessary to bring them about, but also the effects that these
are likely to have on national economies. The evidence presented
points clearly to the economic impacts of decarbonisation being
positive for the majority of countries, and for the world as a
whole, even before considering the benefits of avoided climate
change. When the health benefits of stopping the burning of fossil
fuels are factored in, the global net benefits of decarbonisation
are unequivocal. Drawing on examples from the UK and Europe, but
with wider relevance at a global scale, Stopping Climate Change
clearly shows how determined policy action at different levels
could stop climate change. It will be of great interest to
students, scholars and policy makers researching and working in the
field of climate change and energy policy.
