Despite national policy implementations that significantly influence climate change management, such practices exhibit high diversity worldwide following distinct socio-economic conditions: geographic, cultural, economic structure and institutional ecosystem. Evidently, consistency, coordination, and synergy across sectors, regions, and countries substantially determine climate policy viability to primarily counter climate change in every nation. Summarily, this book outlines the "no brainers" and the "low-hanging fruit" of national climate policies through distinct global cases: an optimal policy portfolio with valuable insights and functional models for policymakers to review climate change concerns beyond climate policies.

Beyond energy subsidies or credits, Kupers encourages policymakers to think of such support as learning curve investments to scale up climate-friendly technologies and drive changes in social norms, with spillovers into other areas. What is required is nothing short of what author Roland Kupers terms a climate policy revolution.

A review of the book "The Corporate Greenhouse: Climate Change Policy in a Globalizing World," by Yda Schreuder is presented.

This book presents the research that has been carried out over the past three years by a team of 30 leading experts from seven different research institutions in Europe and India. It provides the reader with an up-to-date assessment of policy options for future global climate governance. The authors' address three major questions throughout the book, which will arguably be at the heart of any future climate agreements: what is the most effective legal and institutional architecture for global climate politics? What role should non-state actors play? And lastly, what are the possibilities for the global community to adapt to a warmer world? The authors' aim is to develop and generate new ideas that may assist future negotiations on a new global agreement on global climate governance for the period after 2012, when the current commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol expires. In the 19 chapters the authors seek to answer these questions by integrating a variety of approaches ranging from quantitative research to legal and policy analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
