About the Book

"On a global scale, it is of paramount importance that we bring all countries on board and develop structures that converge towards a new global climate agreement. Locally, we need a paradigm shift: energy & transport sectors must be renewed to meet global emission targets. Oliver Inderwildi and Sir David King have brought together leading thinkers and key decision makers to address how this can happen. This book is key reading for anyone interested in the creation of a low-carbon economy."

Mikhail Gorbachev, former President of the USSR, Founding President of Green Cross International and Chairman of the Climate Change Task Force.

Humanity is facing the reality of the "economic problem" - infinite desires and finite resources. Economic and societal development has been contingent on the ability of humanity to harvest energy, and the energy resources that have powered development over the past two centuries or more are clearly finite. The implications of this energy crunch are most apparent in the area of modern transport, which underpins everything from where and how we live, to what we eat, to how we interact with one another. "Energy, Transport, and the Environment" faces up to this reality with refreshing frankness. The collection of essays encompasses a catholic range of sources and opinions, but manages to present them in an manner that makes it accessible to the lay reader while retaining the interest and challenging the views of the expert.

Paul Donovan, Managing Director of Global Economics at UBS Investment Bank 2012
