Product Description

The Kyoto Protocol, the world's first tentative step towards avoiding the threat of climate change, has failed. This book puts forward a solution. Using a system of finite production rights for greenhouse gases, which would be traded by organisations on a global auction, it seeks to succeed where the original agreement failed.

Review

"The most intelligent treatment of the politics and economics of climate change I have ever read. Brilliant, clear and unanswerable"--George Monbiot

"Tickell's background helps him pack an astonishing wealth of data and nontrivial analyses of complex issues into this small volume...This volume will be valuable for undergraduate and graduate students in environmental science and policy, and essential for faculty and professionals... Highly recommended." --CHOICE

Mark Lynas
'Elegantly simple and eminently workable, this is a proposal that could change the world. Kyoto2 should be read by anyone with an interest in climate change policy'

Caspar Henderson
'A fresh, accessible, cogent and bold case for a radical departure from most established thinking. Very seldom is an argument made with such gusto, sharpness and wisdom. Whether you agree with Oliver Tickell or not, your understanding of and thinking about this vital global challenge will be greatly enhanced by reading this book'
