Description
(Text)
Anthropogenic climate change is already impacting every region of the globe and affecting vulnerable people more severely than others.Climate change is a whole-of-economy problem. To tackle it, we need transformational change across economic sectors. Economic responses to climate change must address 'negative externalities' but also avoid regressive and inequitable outcomes.International climate governance has multiple action channels but is centred on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) regime and most notably the 2015 Paris Agreement, which sets ambitious goals and has nearly universal adoption. However, there is still a substantial gap between what the Paris goals require and aggregate implementation. Progressives must work through multilateral, bilateral and other channels to strengthen the climate transition."An essential and empowering read amid what is rising political confl ict. This instructive volumeprovides systematized knowledge, proud records of progressive political achievements and crucial arguments to strive for a fairer and more sustainable world."Mary Robinson(First woman President of Ireland and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights)"A valuable resource for policymakers, providing essential insights, analysis and guiding principles for formulating effective climate policies that address the complexities of the climate crisis while romoting sustainability, equity and global solidarity."Dr César Luena(S&D MEP, Vice President EP ENVI Committee)"Offers foundational knowledge for anyone interested in climate policy and an action-oriented and valuesbased framework for the next stage of progressive climate policy."Dr Thomas Fröhlich(Visiting Research Fellow, King's College London)"A great help in our ambition to raise awareness and knowledge both on the existential threat of the climate crisis and offers an opportunity to rally forces behind a Progressive call for a just transition tocarbon neutrality in Europe and beyond!"Mikael Leyi(Secretary General, SOLIDAR/SOLIDAR Foundation)
