Climate Change and Energy Security: Lessons Learned delivers some extremely valuable insights into the respective debates on both sides of the Atlantic. Joe Aldy, Camilla Bausch, and Michael Mehling shed light on the experiences Germany and the United States have had in these important issue areas over the course
of the last few decades. They examine the extensive climate and energy track records in both countries including the action at the federal and sub-federal levels, voluntary and mandatory measures, and the use of diverse instruments such as emissions trading, energy efficiency programs, support for research and development, and fuel diversification programs. Their essays examine measures that have been highly contested at home as well as policies which have an impact on shaping the international agenda.
