Written by one of the leading experts in the field, Paul Ekins, Stopping Climate Change provides a comprehensive overview of what is required to achieve 'real zero' carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, and negative emissions thereafter, which is the only way to stop human- induced climate change.
Decades of research and discussion have shown that the human population growth and our increased consumption of natural resources cannot continue - there are limits to growth.
