What are the economically efficient solutions to international environmental problems? How can they be implemented in international agreements?
Environment has become more scarce in recent years. Notable examples are the rapid increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the loss of biodiversity. Since environmental resources as well as their absorptive capacity for emissions are not confined to national borders, governments face new challenges in designing institutions and instruments for environmental policy. In this conference volume, experts from all over the world discuss the nature of these challenges and the basic elements for a solution to international environmental problems. Of special interest are the implementation of international environmental agreements and the impact of conflicts between economically efficient solutions and political constraints, often imposed by distributional considerations, on the negotiation process and the content of international agreements.
