economics, finance, green economics, economic decarbonization, politicsAbstract
Nations are years behind where they must be to meet their climatic pledges and goals, primarily because they find that fighting climate change isn’t worth the economic challenges it entails. This paper outlines the impact of strengthening emissions reporting guidelines and economic decarbonization. It uses policies established by the governments of China and Japan to argue for methods of making economic decarbonization and emissions transparency more plausible.
