Free Download Adrian Walsh, "The Ethical Underpinnings of Climate Economics "
English | ISBN: 1138122963 | 2016 | 236 pages | PDF | 2 MB

Economic climate models provide estimates of the value of mitigation benefits, provide understanding of the costs of reducing emissions, and develop tools for making policy choices under uncertainty. They have thus offered theoretical and empirical instruments for the design and implementation of a range of climate policies, but the ethical assumptions included in the calculations are usually left unarticulated.
