Too often amongst policy makers and thought leaders an assumption
is made that we must make a choice between tackling climate change
and having a strong economy; tackling climate change and allowing
poorer nations to develop; tackling climate change and having a
secure energy system. However, a decade of advanced modelling
tested against historical data has provided wide evidence that
well-chosen policies can be implemented that avoid these apparent
either/or choices.This highly interdisciplinary book provides an
overview of potential pathways for the decarbonisation of the
global economy. By examining the entire global economy, we show
policy-makers and thought-leaders that greatly reducing the risks
of climate change can be consistent with energy security, economic
development in poor nations, and vibrant economies in already
developed nations. Advanced models of the relationships between the
economy, energy and climate change pioneered at the Cambridge
Centre for Climate Change Mitigation Research (4CMR) over the past
decade provides a sound evidence base for decisions. This book
examines not only the impacts of policies, but also the feasibility
of bringing them forward and the ways in which energy, climate and
economic policies can and must be joined up if climate, energy and
economic goals are to be met globally.Economists, physicists,
engineers, policy analysts, environmental scientists, climate
scientists, political analysts, lawyers and computational
scientists are brought together for the first time to produce
analyses that make up a unique approach to a global problem that
must be addressed sooner rather than later.
