Discusses climate risk; adaptation to climate change; building a low-carbon energy future; pricing carbon--the economics of cap-and-trade; intensifying agriculture to safeguard forests; the price of carbon--the economics of projects; macroeconomic impacts--sharing carbon rent; and international climate negotiations.
