"""A richly detailed but accessible introduction to policy approaches to mobilize climate tech.""--Fred Krupp, President of the Environmental Defense Fund ""Alon Tal accomplishes the nearly impossible task of writing a book on climate technology policy that is both substantive and enjoyable to read. It is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to understand how the interplay between climate technology innovation and public policy will determine whether we are able to address the most daunting challenge of our era.""--Joe Kruger, Director of Research & Strategy, Georgetown Climate Center ""If you read one book about climate change this year, make it Alon Tal's. No one understands better the policies that can lead to a carbon-neutral economy and avert a climate catastrophe.""--Paul Ehrlich, author of 'Before They Vanish: Saving Nature's Populations and Ourselves' ""In this impressive global analysis of clean tech successes and failures, Prof. Alon Tal explores the role that government policies and programs have played in stimulating green technological change. This highly readable book will be of great interest to decision makers, practitioners, researchers, and students concerned with making a net-zero world possible.""--Miranda A. Schreurs, Professor and Chair of Environment and Climate Policy, Technical University of Munich"

Schreurs, Professor and Chair of Environment and Climate Policy, Technical University of Munich ""Making Climate Tech Work is exceptional in its comprehensive and even-handed review of policies that may contribute to meaningful reductions in emissions of carbon to the atmosphere. Coverage is more factual than wistful, a refreshing change from some competing books offering solutions. Yet, it is also hopeful, providing thoughtful analysis of options that offer practical potential for responding to the global climate crisis. This book should be particularly valuable to those interested in helping drive societal changes that reduce climate-changing gas emissions."" -- ""Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences"""
