DESCRIPTION: Climate change has morphed from an environmental problem into a challenge to civilization itself. As CO2 levels have continued to rise, the 8th Edition of this book is now more relevant than ever. Retaining the approach of the original edition, the newest iteration features global warming as the framing example for a comprehensive look at environmental economics. Pedagogical clarity is ensured by the book’s central focus on four highly-focused questions: How much pollution is too much? Is the government up to the job? How can we do better? How can we resolve global issues? The text also continues with a strong focus on natural resources economics and ecosystem services. Updates to the book are included to address the very latest concerns, standards, and legislation related to environmental issues, providing students with a comprehensive look at this important topic while maintaining an accessible approach that makes the material engaging and highly relevant.

NEW:
- Includes a new section on behavioral economics, along with insights for policy
changes within organizations
- Features a look at the "Climate Club" model recently developed by William
Nordhaus
- Offers a look at the Flint, Michigan case in the discussion of environmental
justice
- Provides an updated discussion of California's CO2 emission trading and the
EU ETS
