Climate Economics in Progress offers a global overview of the present
status of action on climate change. Drawing on the most recent data,
it analyzes the development of carbon markets in Europe and other
parts of the world. It also examines the conditions for including major
players such as China and new sectors such as agriculture, forestry
and transport in the fight against global warming. The book is essential
reading for anyone wishing to understand current advances in climate
control, which could pave the way for a new form of economic
growth.
The book was produced under the direction of Pierre-André Jouvet,
Professor at Paris-Ouest University, and Christian de Perthuis, Professor
at Paris-Dauphine University, and was written by the researchers of the
Climate Economics Chair, under the coordination of Raphaël Trotignon,
Gabriela Simonet and Virginie Boutueil.
The Climate Economics Chair is a Paris-Dauphine University and CDC-Climat
initiative, under the aegis of the Europlace Institute of Finance
research foundation. It brings together a group of researchers whose
goal is to make the link between academic research on the economics
of climate change and the implementation of operational tools,
thereby allowing the climate issue to be integrated into the functioning
of the real economy.
