Climate Change and Energy Policy
5th May 2005 publication
In D. Helm (ed.), Climate-change Policy, published May 2005 by Oxford University Press, pp. 322-340. Given the link between climate change and greenhouse-gas emissions, and given that carbon emissions are associated with the burning of fossil fuels to produce electricity and for transport, it follows that reductions of emissions depends on changes to the energy sector and to the energy policy which provides the framework for the sector's development. Addressing climate change is, then, to a considerable extent about redesigning energy policy.
