Description / Table of Contents:
Many questions have arisen, but with an array of experts from all over the globe, this volume answers these questions using a variety of input-output techniques. By adopting this approach, the chapters in this book highlight the direct and indirect effects of these connections on emissions, climate change, income distribution and employment. Furthermore, the exploration of interregional linkages through imports/exports, throws important light on the allocation of responsibilities for emissions all over the world. This analysis provides key insights on the likely impacts of decarbonization and the necessary steps to achieve these goals.
