This book presents empirical evidence reflecting the complex challenges and potential consequences of low-carbon pathways, enabling us to draw valuable lessons on the risks and uncertainties we face in choosing these pathways, as well as ways to manage them and ultimately enable their sustainable and lasting social and environmental effects.
