This book critically assesses a broad range of policy mechanisms that are being negotiated for a post Kyoto (post-2012) climate governance regime at international, national and local levels, across both public and private sectors. The author's interdisciplinary angle represents a vastly different approach to existing books on the topic of post-Kyoto climate policy.
