As the Kyoto Protocol goes into effect on February 16th, The International Council for Capital Formation, The Institute of Economic Analysis, and Istituto Bruno Leoni present a revised version of Climate Change Policy and Economic Growth: A Way Forward to Ensure Both. This volume points out a path which could lead to reduced global GHG emissions without harming economic growth in both developed and developing economies.

The book presents a collection of analyses by internationally renowned climate policy modelers and economists who conclude that the Kyoto Protocol, with its “targets and timetables” approach to climate policy, is not an effective tool for addressing the potential threat of significant human-induced global climate change, Dr. Margo Thorning, ICCF Managing Director, told press conference participants at a February 14 briefing.
