About the product

A study which identifies workable solutions for the reduction of man-made emissions of greenhouse gases that cause global warming. It elaborates on the ideas first put forward in Bergen and proposes an international market-based instrument for controlling the world-wide growth of carbon emissions at minimum cost. Furthermore, it details an effective mechanism for transferring resources (i.e. environmentally sound technologies and finance) to developing countries, to enable them to contribute to the global effort to abate greenhouse emissions without holding back their own development.
