Voluntary approaches in climate policy

"Voluntary Approaches in Climate Policy illustrates how corporate voluntarism can be harnessed to mitigate the climatic impact of business, and assesses the economics of VAs at the firm level and in the context of climate policies. It goes on to explore their efficiency and effectiveness, how they compare and combine with other instruments, how they impact competition and why they get adopted." "Highlighting the implications of VAs in policy terms, this book will appeal to economists, social scientists, policymakers and business managers, as well as environmental scientists and practitioners with a specific interest in climate change."--BOOK JACKET.
