There is widespread agreement that climate change is a serious problem. If we fail        to regulate greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming, or use alternative        strategies for addressing the problem, the damages could be significant, and perhaps        catastrophic.After several international meetings in which nation-states have tried        unsuccessfully to address the climate change problem, there is a sense of        frustration and urgency: frustration at the slow pace at which countries are moving        toward an international agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; urgency        because of the growing evidence that climate change is a serious problem that should        be addressed globally and quickly.This book takes a close look at the fundamental        political and economic processes driving climate change policy. It identifies        institutional arrangements and policies that are needed to design more effective        climate change policy. It also examines ethical and distributional arguments that        are critical in understanding and framing the climate debate. The book is built        around a conference honouring Tom Schelling that took place at the Sustainable        Consumption Institute at The University ofManchester. Each chapter represents a        significant contribution to the literature on the political economy of climate        change.
