Economies around the world have arrived at a critical juncture: to
continue to grow fuelled by fossil fuels and exacerbate climate
change, or to move towards more sustainable, greener, growth.
Choosing the latter is shown to help address climate change, as
well as present new economic opportunities. This Handbook provides
a deeper understanding of the concept of green growth, and
highlights key lessons from the experience of green transformations
across the world following a decade of ambitious stimulus packages
and green reforms. With comprehensive chapters from key researchers
in the field drawn from across the globe, the Handbook on Green
Growth offers up to date and original analysis of the many facets
of the phenomenon of green growth. Is economic growth desirable?
When can economic growth and environmental policies work together?
What are the key factors that will achieve green growth? What will
be the multiple impacts of green growth? And, what have been the
experiences of economies that have undertaken a green
transformation? This Handbook will be a key resource for students
and academics interested in economics, environmental and ecological
studies, as well as for those specialising in environmental policy.
It will also be a valuable tool for policy makers concerned about
the dual objectives of stimulating economic growth and addressing
environmental damage.

What happens when a radically-new fuel or technology transforms the
energy system? How does the energy system evolve at different
stages of economic development? What are the implications for
people's lives and their environment? Building on an award-winning
article, in this exciting book Roger Fouquet investigates the
impacts of technological innovations and economic development over
the last seven hundred years on our ability to provide heat, power,
transport and light. Using a unique data set, collected over a
decade, the analysis identifies the forces driving revolutions in
energy services. It highlights the tendency of markets to produce
ever-cheaper energy services, which in turn incite greater energy
consumption. It also examines how these revolutions affect people's
well-being and the environment. The framework, analysis and
insights in this book offer an original perspective on future
energy markets, transitions to low-carbon economies and strategies
for addressing climate change. Heat, Power and Light is an
invaluable and unique contribution to this profoundly important
topic. As such it will appeal to a wide audience of energy
economists, climate change analysts, policymakers, economic and
technology historians and economists more broadly.

This timely Handbook reviews many key issues in the economics of
energy and climate change, raising new questions and offering
solutions that might help to minimize the threat of energy-induced
climate change.Constructed around the objectives of displaying some
of the best of current thinking in the economics of energy and
climate change, this groundbreaking volume brings together many of
the world s leading and most innovative minds in the field to cover
issues related to: - fossil fuel and electricity markets -
environment-related energy policy - international climate
agreements - carbon mitigation policies - low-carbon behavior,
growth and governance. Serving as an indispensable guide to one of
the fastest-growing fields of economics, this invaluable resource
will strongly appeal to students, academics and policy makers
interested in energy, environmental and climate change issues.

This timely research review discusses a selection of key articles
on the economics of renewable energy. From a modest role as a
backstop technology in the 1970s to a central role in low carbon
transitions today, the review reveals the emergence and growing
importance of this sub-field of economics. Topics covered include
the costs of renewable power (taking account of issues related to
technological development, intermittency and interconnection),
policies that promote renewable energy development, its public and
private demand, and its impact on the environment and the economy.
This comprehensive and indispensible review serves as an essential
source of reference for students and researchers.
