How can economics help in the fight against climate change?
That is the question for this Policy Forum, looking at both the United States and the rest of the world First, we review the pending legislative proposals. Next, we look at the major sources of greenhouse gases and the economic policies likely to affect them.
One hope is entrepreneurship, harnessing the marketplace to effectively green technology and efficient consumption. Also, we look at what the key concerns are for the Obama Administration and how stimulus money is being used to advance cleantech.
