Chapters highlight the challenges and opportunities of balancing economic progress with protecting the planet, revealing that sustainable growth is possible with the right tools and improved cooperation. They explore topics including clean energy, carbon taxes, decarbonization, green budgeting and local policies to examine how different regions, including Alaska, East Asia and Europe, are adapting to environmental pressures. Presenting both global and regional perspectives, expert authors investigate sustainability challenges facing industries including textiles, manufacturing, energy and agriculture. The Handbook shows that, while there is no universal solution, there are practical strategies that exist to guide efforts toward a greener and more resilient future.
Interdisciplinary in scope, this Handbook is an essential resource for scholars and students of environmental economics, sustainability studies and development studies. Policymakers, private sector consultants, green economy practitioners and NGOs will also benefit from its valuable insights.
Edited by Jungho Baek, Ladessa Hall Nordale Professor of Economics, College of Business and Security Management, University of Alaska Fairbanks, USA
