Reviews
'Cuts through the rhetorical fog that surrounds voluntary environmental programs ... Policymakers should take heed of the book s central conclusion - voluntary programs can work but cannot produce major change - and the editors thoughts on the design of these programs.' Richard Schmalensee, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 'A thoughtful and thorough analysis. It shows how voluntary approaches and corporate leadership can help mobilize the effort against climate change, but, in the end, are not substitutes for concerted government action.' Eileen Claussen, President, Pew Center on Global Climate Change
