Reviews

This is an important book on an important topic. Economic development in the 21st century has to factor in the risks of climate change and the need to reduce emissions. This book offers a lucid introduction to climate compatible development. Sam Fankhauser, Co-Director at Grantham Research Institute for Climate Change and the Environment, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK In a rapidly evolving field bursting with overlapping concepts and integrative frameworks this book provides an excellent critical overview of current thinking. It captures very well a range of disciplinary and geographical perspectives in a development context to address what has been described as the ultimate interdisciplinary challenge - climate change. The book very effectively achieves, in analytical terms, what Climate Compatible Development aims to achieve in practice: integration of development, adaptation and mitigation. It is an excellent blend of theory and real-world examples. Declan Conway, Grantham Research Institute for Climate Change and the Environment, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
