| Summary |
The Hartwell Approach to Climate Policy presents a powerful critique of mainstream climate change policies and details a set of pragmatic alternatives based on the Hartwell Group's collective writings from 1988-2010. Drawing on a rich history of heterodox but increasingly accepted views on climate change policy, this book brings together in a single volume a series of key, related texts that define the 'Hartwell critique' of conventional climate change policies and the 'Hartwell approach' to building more inclusive, pragmatic alternatives. This book tells of the story of how and why convention |
