{"product_id":"9781783265626","title":"Climate Change And Energy: Japanese Perspectives On Climate Change Mitigation Strategy: JAPANESE PERSPECTIVES ON CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION STRATEGY","description":"\u003cp\u003eWithin the contexts of the global warming crisis facing the world, climate change mitigation strategies must be developed with a deep understanding of the science behind the impact of climate change and adaptations that must be made. This book discusses the mitigation strategy of climate change from the perspective of Japan and adopts a comprehensive view on climate change science, taking into consideration the recent international discussions on the subject, including those of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Furthermore, this book discusses energy and environment strategies in Japan, particularly after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power accident, underpinning Japan's historical lack of natural resource and the resulting difficulties it faces in keeping up with the demand for energy. Finally, this book provides the quantitative model to assess scenarios for climate mitigation and their associated costs and economic impacts for the formulation of a national strategy for an effective and sustainable set of climate change mitigation measures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOverview: Basic Strategy for Mitigating Climate Change (Yoichi Kaya):\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrief History of the Reaction of Mankind to Climate Change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCauses and Impacts of Climate Change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 2-Degree Target\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacteristics of Energy and Measures for Reducing CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e Emission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscussion on Attainability of the 2-Degree Target\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction of a New Target\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJapan's Energy and Environmental Policy (Kenji Yamaji):\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrief History of Japan's Energy and Environmental Policy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReconstruction of Energy and Environmental Policy after Fukushima\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManaging the Nuclear Risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Future of Renewable Energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrontiers of Energy and Environmental Policy in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eModel Analysis for Climate Change Mitigation Strategy (Keigo Akimoto):\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to Model Analysis for Climate Change Mitigation Strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssessment of Sustainable Development Scenarios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssessment of Climate Change Mitigation Measures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssessment of Japanese Energy and Environmental Strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Graduate students, researchers and readers interested in energy studies and climate change mitigation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere are few books for climate change mitigation written in English from a Japanese point of view\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe authors are outstanding researchers for climate change mitigation and energy policies in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe lead author, Yoichi Kaya, is also well known within the research society for climate change mitigation in the world as the developer of the “Kaya-identity”, which has often been adopted in several IPCC reports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139996827888,"sku":"9781783265626","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783265626_p0.jpg?v=1763723839","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783265626","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
