While the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015 has finally implemented a global climate policy regime, its modest means belie its ambitious goals. Our institutional financial organizations are not equipped to deal with the problems that any credible commitment to a low-carbon economy will have to confront. We will have to go beyond cap-and-trade schemes and limited carbon taxes to cut greenhouse gas emissions substantially in due time. This book offers a way forward toward that goal, with a conceptual framework that brings environmental preservation back into our macro-economic growth and forecasting models. This framework obliges firms to consider other goals beyond shareholder value maximization, outlining the principal tenets of a climate-friendly finance and introducing a new type of money linked to climate mitigation and adaptation efforts. | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | carbon finance; low-carbon economy; ecological economics; environmental economics; Paris Climate Agreeme | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-92357-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-06415-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-92357-4 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and the Author(s) 2018 |
