Overview

This book is redefining climate protection measures and resetting climate protection targets in accordance with what is scientifically necessary by introducing new actors (e.g. the financial industry as an investor and political actor), by highlighting new goals such as 330 ppm, 100% renewable energy systems and chemistry, cleaning CO2 from the atmosphere and by introducing new measures (global feed-in-tariff; ending all subsidies for fossil energies). The reader is provided with a, sometimes provocative, overview on recent developments, failures, but also successful instruments on fighting climate change and global warming. The book shows that investment in renewables and a sustainable economy is not only a worthwhile cause but has also economic value.
