While the energy sector is a primary target of efforts to arrest and reverse the growth of greenhouse gas emissions and lower the carbon footprint of development, it is also expected to be increasingly affected by unavoidable climate consequences from the damage already induced in the biosphere. Energy services and resources, as well as seasonal demand, will be increasingly affected by changing trends, increasing variability, greater extremes and large inter-annual variations in climate parameters in some regions. All evidence suggests that adaptation is not an optional add-on but an essential

The world is facing several serious challenges at the close of the fossil and nuclear energy regime: the limited resources of cheap conventional oil can only be surmounted by tapping unconventional oil reserves, e.g. deep sea oil. The explosion of the oil platform Deepwater Horizon in 2010 and the subsequent oil spill caused enormous damage, which even a year later cannot be fully estimated. Another even more important threat emanating from the fossil and nuclear energy regime has been brought to our attention by the Fukushima disaster. Last but not least, the problem of climate change caused by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions is looming, despite the fact that the international community has agreed on a considerable reduction of these emissions. Is this poor result of the Kyoto Protocol and the failure of successive climate conferences the consequence of a preference for the use of market-based instruments? The majority of climate scientists, economists, and politicians believe in the efficiency of “cap-and-trade” regulations. They even conceive them as a constituent ingredient of a “Green New Deal” or “Global Green Recovery”. The contributions in this volume provide a critical examination of the theoretical foundations, the political implications, and the empirical experiences of the application of market mechanisms and financial instruments to climate policy.

Un bilan de l'état actuel de nos connaissances sur le changement climatique, sur ses impacts et sur les solutions à apporter pour l'atténuer. Spécialiste en physique de l'atmosphère et ancien membre du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (GIEC), Sir John Houghton est l'un des rares scientifiques du monde qui puisse légitimement qualifier son ouvrage d'" état des lieux complet " sur le changement climatique. Dans ce livre, il y expose, en douze chapitres, les dernières découvertes en climatologie et les dernières projections concernant les impacts du changement climatique au XXIe siècle, mais également les stratégies d'adaptation et d'atténuation qui existent. Ainsi, il montre, par exemple, comment ralentir ou stabiliser le changement climatique en réduisant les émissions de gaz à effet de serre générées par les activités humaines. Il aborde en particulier les enjeux associés à notre consommation d'énergie, à nos habitudes de transport et à d'autres changements globaux comme la déforestation ou la croissance démographique. Pourtant complexes, ces thématiques sont traitées de manière claire et complète, en se basant sur le quatrième rapport d'évaluation du GIEC et de nombreuses autres sources citées tout au long de l'ouvrage. Ce livre se démarque dès lors des ouvrages polémiques, en exposant les seuls faits établis scientifiquement. Il explique notamment comment fonctionne un modèle climatique et expose systématiquement les incertitudes associées aux résultats de ces modèles. À la fois rigoureux et accessible, abondamment illustré et documenté, cet ouvrage donnera aux profanes les clefs de compréhension du changement climatique, tout en proposant aux lecteurs avisés un aperçu complet de l'état actuel de nos connaissances sur les différentes facettes de l'un des principaux défis du XXIe siècle.

This volume explains how and why these new governance experiments have emerged, drawing upon a database of such initiatives to ascertain how these initiatives fit together and how they influence what is defined as environmental governance.
