It's a daunting challenge, but the technologies and strategies to meet it exist today. A small set of energy policies, designed and implemented well, can put us on the path to a low carbon future. Energy systems are large and complex, so energy policy must be focused and cost-effective. One-size-fits-all approaches simply won't get the job done. Policymakers need a clear, comprehensive resource that outlines the energy policies that will have the biggest impact on our climate future, and describes how to design these policies well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesigning Climate Solutions: A Policy Guide for Low-Carbon Energy\u003c\/i\u003e is the first such guide, bringing together the latest research and analysis around low carbon energy solutions. Written by Hal Harvey, CEO of the policy firm Energy Innovation, with Robbie Orvis and Jeffrey Rissman of Energy Innovation, \u003ci\u003eDesigning Climate Solutions\u003c\/i\u003e is an accessible resource on lowering carbon emissions for policymakers, activists, philanthropists, and others in the climate and energy community. In Part I, the authors deliver a roadmap for understanding which countries, sectors, and sources produce the greatest amount of greenhouse gas emissions, and give readers the tools to select and design efficient policies for each of these sectors. In Part II, they break down each type of policy, from renewable portfolio standards to carbon pricing, offering key design principles and case studies where each policy has been implemented successfully. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We don't need to wait for new technologies or strategies to create a low carbon future--and we can't afford to. \u003ci\u003eDesigning Climate Solutions\u003c\/i\u003e gives professionals the tools they need to select, design, and implement the policies that can put us on the path to a livable climate future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hal Harvey, Robbie Orvis, Jeffrey Rissman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1610919564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781610919562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Island Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 6.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Hal Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991702208767,"sku":"9781610919562","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_832c50a9-dcdb-4f6b-8227-38f30bb6f40e.jpg?v=1683311737","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/designing-climate-solutions-hal-harvey-9781610919562","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
