- Summary
- "Climate Change: treaties and policies in the Trump era, is an examination of: �́Ø The setting of the climate change agenda �́Ø Its position in the international arena where nations have agreed to treaties and agreements that have increasingly placed pressures on governments to take actions in conformance with their provisions �́Ø The developments leading to the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change, which incorporated governments�́� �́�Intended Nationally Determined Contributions�́� (INDCs) on abatement of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases �́Ø The costs nations are actually and prospectively incurring in meeting their INDCs and in other measures designed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions �́Ø President Trump�́�s withdrawal from the Paris agreement and other nations�́� responses. The book foreshadows the collapse of the Paris agreement and gradual, if not abrupt, dismantling of the costly measures it entails - primarily involving forcing consumers to subsidise wind and solar energy."--Back cover.
