Reviews

The threat posed by climate change demands a much wider intellectual response than it has yet received. This book will challenge, inspire, and infuriate. It's not what you might expect and therefore makes a real contribution to the debate and the solutions. -John Gummer, Lord Deben,Chair of the UK Climate Committee It is difficult to argue that the world has done anything other than fail so far on climate change, and fail pretty dismally. This timely and provocative book outlines some of the reasons why - and suggests novel ways forward that might stand a higher chance of success. -Mark Lynas, environmentalist and journalist The Hartwell Approach to Climate Policy is a deeply reasoned, subtle, yet refreshingly pragmatic collection of ideas that shows us how to build on our existing social and political institutions to get beyond divisive politics and start moving, finally, toward a more sustainable world. -Michael Crow, Arizona State University, USA This volume presents important perspectives on what needs to be done, and by whom, to address climate change. Its authors speak from expertise developed in highly politicized global and national environments, and what they say needs to be listened to and evaluated, and weighed against long-standing mainstream approaches. -Mickey Glantz, University of Colorado, USA The 'Hartwell Approach to Climate Change' cuts through the wrangling over climate science with humanitarian common sense. -Ambassador Richard Benedick, President of the National Council for Science and the Environment
