We then explore the economics of climate change in terms of climate's global impact on people and systems, as well as physical impact across geographies. No discussion on climate change is meaningful these days without discussing the fractious politics driving it, which we do - drawing attention to key participants in climate policy, the Kyoto evolution, the Paris Agreement as well as the prevailing global political underpinnings driving the current debate. We have a detailed chapter on mitigation, adaptation, solutions, and case studies including government's role where we provide multiple examples. Since this is a report about investments too, we highlight the response of global financial markets including that of the banking sector - topics such as socially responsible investments, sustainable investments, trading, and markets find copious mention. Our analysis encompasses commodity markets, energy trading, electricity markets, energy markets, water markets as well. We have dedicated a chapter to carbon markets too. Since this is a book on ramifications of public policy, we talk about the international policy and regulatory framework, delve into policy solutions by different economic sectors and present many global case studies. In doing so, we also consider other environmental issues such as deforestation, waste management and water rights. We conclude our report by highlighting Wall Street's response to climate change and survey important initiatives afoot in leading financial institutions - investment banking, equity research, alternative investing, public finance, capital markets, project finance, wealth management and other areas. We bring a fact based approach, devoid of personal bias or opinion and present our analysis by way over 200 charts, graphs, visuals drawing on over 2 million separate data points.
