Summary
Annotation Societies need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by 80% in order to counter the risks of climate change. This book envisions a climate neutral society -- one where the output of polluting gases is minimized by social innovations set up in households, by local authorities, through developments in information and communications technologies and dematerialization, and through the shift towards product service systems and emissions trading. The book discusses the possibilities for steering and orchestrating this long term transition towards a climate-friendly society, mapping paths through current dilemmas in climate policy and exploring the legal issues of making this transition.
