Climate Future: Averting and Adapting to Climate Change
By Robert S. Pindyck, the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd Professor in Finance and Economics
Oxford University Press · 2022
Climate change initiatives typically focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions - but what happens if these efforts fall short? In his latest book, Pindyck, an environmental economist, contends that most countries will not come close to meeting their CO2 reduction goals. He recommends adaptations such as sea walls and dykes, hybrid crops, and large-scale geoengineering.
From Summer 2023 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
