AID EFFECTIVENESS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Praise for Aid Effectiveness for Environmental Sustainability “Discussions of public policies to mitigate climate change and foster adaptation bring attention to the principle of ‘common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities,’ enshrined in the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This principle of distributional equity highlights the importance of issues surrounding how the richest countries of the world might help finance activities in some of the poorest countries. This important new book brings together an excellent set of authors to address the wide range of issues that inevitably arise.” —Robert N. Stavins, A. J. Meyer Professor of Energy and Economic Development, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, USA “With the Paris Agreement the world has committed itself to climate aid. This book clarifies in detail how foreign aid can support sustainability and climate goals in the global south.” —Jeroen van den Bergh, ICREA Research Professor, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain and Professor of Environmental Economics, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands “This book is a superb collection of some exciting essays by leading experts on aid effectiveness for environmental sustainability. It presents theoretical issues supported by a wide range of applications and examples, which researchers and practitioners will find invaluable. It is bound to be an important contribution to the field. ” —Juzhong Zhuang, Deputy Chief Economist and Deputy Director General, Economic Research and Regional Cooperation Department, Asian Development Bank, Philippines
