Beyond Kyoto: Energy Dynamics and Climate Stabilisation (E-book PDF
Format) 

Mitigating climate change will require profound changes in world energy
production and use. While the full effects of climate change are not
likely to be felt for decades, the need for action is more immediate,
for changes in greenhouse gas concentrations are almost irreversible.
Solutions exist in the form of energy efficiency improvements, fuel
switching to non-carbon sources, and carbon recovery and storage. But
the long-term costs of mitigation and the precise extent and pace of
climate damage remain uncertain. So policy-makers face the task of
conceiving and implementing measures in a context of uncertainty – and
global inequity -, and run the risk of taking either excessive or
insufficient action. 


This volume details the options available in the energy sector to reduce
climate change. It explores the type of international agreement that
could cope with the uncertainty inherent in implementing a climate
program at the national and international level. It identifies
mechanisms to deal with both international equity and economic
uncertainty, and addresses the fundamental question: how can we proceed
beyond Kyoto?
