'This book will be invaluable both to researchers wanting to understand latest developments in theory and practice, and to those in the policy process wishing to design and implement climate change policies using the flexibility mechanisms.' - Frank Convery, University College Dublin, Ireland The Kyoto Protocol introduced international flexible mechanisms into climate policy and since then, the design and most effective use of flexible instruments have become key areas for climate policy research. Instruments for Climate Policy focuses on economic and political aspects related to the recent proposals and the debate on limits in flexibility, and discusses EU and US perspectives on climate policy instruments and strategies.
