Description for Climate Change Justice
Hardback. Favoring both a climate change agreement and efforts to improve economic justice, this title makes a case that the best - and possibly only - way to get an effective climate treaty is to exclude measures designed to redistribute wealth or address historical wrongs against underdeveloped countries. Num Pages: 232 pages, 8 line illus. 11 tables. BIC Classification: RNPG. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 241 x 168 x 21. Weight in Grams: 462.
