Danny Cullenward is Policy Director at CarbonPlan and a lecturer at Stanford Law School. David G. Victor is Professor of International Relations at the School of Global Policy and Strategy at UC San Diego. He co-heads the initiative on energy and climate at the Brookings Institution.
Cullenward and Victor provide a refreshingly honest and pragmatic perspective on this complex field. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in climate policy and carbon pricing. David Wright, University of Calgary This is a must-read for policymakers, especially the climate intelligentsia who believe that market-based policies are a panacea for the existential threat of climate change. Cullenward and Victor shatter that myth and chart a better course based on proven models that achieve real and tangible results, not magical groupthink. Kevin De Leon, California Senate President Emeritus, Policymaker-in-Residence at UCLA, and Distinguished Senior Fellow at USC I have spent my career trying to answer the question posed by Cullenward and Victor - how to make climate policy work. This book provides a compelling answer: the deep decarbonization the world needs will only be achieved when governments commit to a vision of transformation that all actors can work towards .
