Contents:

Economic models for sustainable development / Richard S.J. Tol -- Designing sustainability policy / Barbara K. Buchner -- An American view of sustainability / Ray Kopp -- Implementing the EU sustainability indicators / Christoph Böhringer, Andreas Löschel -- Interpreting environmental policy cost measures / Jean-Charles Hourcade, Frédéric Ghersi -- Technical progress in TranSust models / Valentina Bosetti, Marzio Galeotti -- Revenue recycling and labour markets: effects on costs of policies for sustainability / Terry Barker, Sebastian De-Ramon, Hector Pollitt -- Carbon dioxide capture and storage supporting sustainable energy systems / Bob van der Zwaan -- Market Allocation Model (MARKAL) at ECN / Koen Smekens, Gerard Martinus, Bob van der Zwaan -- A hybrid model: DEMETER / Reyer Gerlagh, Bob van der Zwaan -- Impact assessment of climate policies (IMACLIM-S) / Frédéric Ghersi -- The Energy-Environment-Economy model for Europe (E3ME) / Terry Barker, Sebastian De-Ramon, Hector Pollitt -- An endogenous technical change model: FEEM-RICE / Valentina Bosetti, Carlo Carraro, Marzio Galeotti -- Policy analysis based on computable equilibrium (PACE) / Christoph Böhringer, Andreas Löschel, Thomas F. Rutherford -- Economic impacts of GHG emission reductions: an overview of multiple model calculations / Reyer Gerlagh [and others] -- Transition to sustainability: some preliminary conclusions / Valentina Bosetti, Carlo Carraro.

Summary: This insightful book explores the issue of sustainable development in its more operative and applied sense. Although a great deal of research has addressed potential interpretations and definitions of sustainable development, much of this work is too abstract to offer policy-makers and researchers the feasible and effective guidelines they require.
