Klappentext zu „The Economics of Climate Change “
There is now clear scientific evidence that emissions from economic activity, particularly the burning of fossil fuels for energy, are causing changes to the Earth´s climate. A sound understanding of the economics of climate change is needed in order to underpin an effective global response to this challenge. The Stern Review is an independent, rigourous and comprehensive analysis of the economic aspects of this crucial issue. It has been conducted by Sir Nicholas Stern, Head of the UK Government Economic Service, and a former Chief Economist of the World Bank. The Economics of Climate Change will be invaluable for all students of the economics and policy implications of climate change, and economists, scientists and policy makers involved in all aspects of climate change.

Rezension zu „The Economics of Climate Change “
' … a comprehensive overview of the threat posed by climate change - and how we should respond to it. … Sir Nicholas Stern spells out a bleak vision of a future gripped by violent storms, rising sea-levels, crippling droughts and economic chaos unless urgent action is taken to tackle global warming. …a heavyweight review… Sir Nicholas Stern's review of the economic impact of global warming is a watershed. The former World Bank chief economist has put a price-tag on saving the planet. … Sir Nicholas is a sober and respected economist, which makes his findings all the more chilling.' The Daily Telegraph 'Future generations may come to regard the apocalyptic report by Sir Nicholas Stern … as the turning point in combating global warming, or as the missed opportunity. … what Sir Nicholas Stern has done with his report on the economics of climate change is remarkable; he has ripped up the last excuse for inaction. … one wouldn't want to exaggerate, but it does feel like one of those moments
