They depend on the export of oil, gas, or coal; the use\nof carbon-intensive infrastructure (for example, refineries, petrochemicals,\nand coal power plants); or both. Fossil fuel–dependent\ncountries face financial, fiscal, and macro-structural risks from the\ntransition of the global economy away from carbon-intensive fuels\nand the value chains based on them. This book focuses on managing\nthese transition risks and harnessing related opportunities.\nDiversification and Cooperation in a Decarbonizing World identifies\nmultiple strategies that fossil fuel–dependent countries can\npursue to navigate the turbulent waters of a low-carbon transition.\nThe policy and investment choices to be made in the next decade will\ndetermine these countries’ degree of exposure and overall resilience.\nAbandoning their comfort zones and developing completely new\nskills and capabilities in a time frame consistent with the Paris\nAgreement on climate change is a daunting challenge and requires\nlong-term revenue visibility and consistent policy leadership. This\nbook proposes a constructive framework for climate strategies for\nfossil fuel–dependent countries based on new approaches to diversification\nand international climate cooperation. Climate policy leaders\nshare responsibility for creating room for all countries to contribute\nto the goals of the Paris Agreement, taking into account the specific\nvulnerabilities and opportunities each country faces.","brand":"World Bank Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46602408591615,"sku":"9781464813405","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_da2da6c3-66d3-40d1-8e8a-a4057def7877.jpg?v=1739673810","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781464813405","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
