‘This is a valuable contribution to a hugely important debate, articulating the need for governments and legislators to help manage risks to ensure all groups in society can share the returns in an equitable and fair zero-carbon transition.’ Baroness Hayman, GBE, former Lord Speaker; Chair, Peers for the Planet
‘This book sets out an evidence-based approach for designing realistic climate policy strategies for countries that not only address climate change, but do so in a way that maintains resilient societies, avoids policy reversals, understands the constraints of different countries and promotes international cooperation. A roadmap for delivering the change required – ensuring clean growth can be scaled at the speed we need.’ Chris Skidmore, Chair, ‘Mission Zero – The Net Zero Review’; Chair, Centre for Economic Transition Expertise, Grantham Research Institute
‘This book provides a rigorous and thought-provoking framework for addressing the pressing challenges of climate change at a time when the world stands at a critical crossroads. The volume advances a lucid, evidence-based pathway that supports even greater ambition in the pursuit of a more sustainable and secure planet. Its analysis offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers and practitioners seeking innovative economic and policy approaches to drive transformative climate action.’ Youba Sokona, former IPCC Vice Chair
