Putting the brakes on climate change : Long-term mitigation scenarios in South Africa

This well-researched, important text argues for the use of environmental resource economics as an analytical framework for the design of policy options.

It integrates economic theories and concepts with social and environmental challenges.

In a developing context, like that of South Africa, environmental management is an economic concern.

The mainstay of the book is a selection of environmental resource economics case studies and a discussion of the political and ethical contexts of economic development.
