Zusammenfassung:Policy frameworks and institutions for decarbonisation : the energy sector as 'litmus test' / Lynette Molyneaux and Keith Sue -- Technologies for decarbonising the electricity sector -- Wind energy / Nathan Steggel and David Osmond -- Solar photovoltaics / Andrew Blakers.
"This book is a comprehensive manual for policy-makers addressing the issues around human-caused climate change, which threatens communities with increasing extreme weather events, sea-level rise and declining habitability of some regions due to desertification or inundation. The book looks at both mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming and adaption to changing conditions as the climate changes. It encourages the early adoption of climate change measures that this can be achieved while maintaining prosperity. The book takes a sector-by-sector approach, starting with energy and includes cities, industry, natural resources and agriculture, enabling practitioners to focus on actions relevant to their field. It uses case studies across a range of countries, and various industries, to illustrate the opportunities available. Blending technological insights with economics and energy policy, the book presents the tools decision makers need to achieve rapid decarbonisation, whilst unlocking and maintaining productivity, profit and growth."
