Overview

The threat of climate change increases with each passing moment, and it’s time for economists, policymakers, and climate scientists to work together to address this. In this Palgrave Pivot, political economist Robin Hahnel offers useful ways to make a difference when it comes to climate policy. The book begins by making clear that not enough is being done to slow the impact of climate change. Hahnel breaks down what is being done in some states and cities in the US and provides expert insights into important national-level initiatives that began under the Biden–Harris Administration. Chapters explore international climate negotiations—the good, the bad, and the ugly—offering a realistic approach to policies that impact our environment. The book ends with a nod to action, optimism, and strength. Hahnel explains not just whether, but also why, there is still reason to push for international climate action before it is too late. Written for individuals working within and interested in policy, climate, and political economy, the book will inspire creative responses to climate change.
