Transatlantic Approaches to Environmental and Climate Change Issues

• Combating Climate Change:  A Transatlantic Approach to Common Solutions
  by Lisa E. Svensson
  This report outlines current action in Europe and the U.S. and lessons that can be learned to advance a transatlantic consensus on climate change. It also serves as a roadmap for a post-2012 framework when the Kyoto Protocol expires. The volume is based on recommendations from a symposium of climate change experts, business leaders, and government officials at the 2007 conference "California-European Dialogue on Climate Change." CTR worked closely with the Heinrich Boell Foundation on the conference and project leading to this book.  More information about the Foundation is available here.  The book is available here through the Brookings Institutions Press.
