出版社／著者からの内容紹介
経済活動からの温室効果ガス排出が引き起こす気候変動が科学的に証明されている現在、国際規模でこの問題に対応するためには気候変動の経済学について適切に理解することが必要とされる。本書『スターン・レビュー』は、英国政府の依頼を受け、元世界銀行チームエコノミストで現在英国政府の経済担当政府特別顧問のニコラス・スターン博士が、気候変動が与える経済影響を分析、試算した報告書である。2006年10月に発表されて以来、各国の政策決定に影響を与える研究成果として広く注目されている。気候変動対策をとらなかった場合の気候変動のコストの総額は世界各年のＧＤＰの5~20％に達するが、早期に対応策を講じた場合は、その費用は世界各年のGDP１％程度で済むと報告。本書は、ケンブリッジ大学出版局がこの重要な研究成果を1冊の書籍として校正しフルカラーで出版するもので、気候変動にあらゆる側面に関わっておられる経済学者、科学者、政策立案者、学生・院生の方々にお薦めする。
出版社からのコメント
There is now clear scientific evidence that emissions from economic activity, particularly the burning of fossil fuels for energy, are causing changes to the Earth´s climate. A sound understanding of the economics of climate change is needed in order to underpin an effective global response to this challenge. The Stern Review is an independent, rigourous and comprehensive analysis of the economic aspects of this crucial issue. It has been conducted by Sir Nicholas Stern, Head of the UK Government Economic Service, and a former Chief Economist of the World Bank. The Economics of Climate Change will be invaluable for all students of the economics and policy implications of climate change, and economists, scientists and policy makers involved in all aspects of climate change.

A very important and useful report on climate change
2009/6/16
形式:ペーパーバック
This is a very important document on climate change and has won the respect of experts around the world. It was commissioned by the British government in 2005. It took two years to complete and was headed by Nicholas Stern, the former Chief Economist of the World Bank. You may or may not agree with all its findings but it remains one of the most professional studies of whole climate change situation, integrating global economic realities with science. Stern has written a less expensive book of his views that came out in 2009 The Global Deal: Climate Change and the Creation of a New Era of Progress and Prosperity. I would also recommend Lester Brown's Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization (Substantially Revised).
Great book but could be better

This is a great book for a Ph.D. econometrician, but it sucks big time for the typical reader. Reading it is like plowing a field of rock with a horse drawn plow with a dull blade.
However, for Ph.D.s and Master degreed researches it is wonderful because it is data-filed and does the best job with the science at hand. It shows how climate change can impact the world more than all the wars in history put together.
But someone needs to write this book for the typical interested reader. The Plan B book does a better job in this regard, but Plan B is not as valuable for egg-heads.
This is not a book you will enjoy reading, it will be a pain in the neck and you will put it down over and over and need to come back to it. But it has such valuable information you will find the need to return to it over and over if this is your field.

The Economics of Climate Change according to the British Labour Party
2010/12/24
形式:ペーパーバック
This 692 page treatise on the subject of climate change was commissioned by the New Labour Party in the UK and written by Nicholas Stern [since elevated to the Peerage]of the Cabinet Office-H M Treasury and is popularly known as 'The Stern Review'. This tome is well prepared and copiously illustrated with colourful charts and diagrams; it is dated 2006 and was first published in paperback form in 2007.
This book was a great influence upon the politicians, particularly the 650 MPs that represent the British political constituencies; they voted the 2008 Climate Change Act onto the statute book in the belief that this text and the academic, peer reviewed, published papers on the subject were correct, many are referenced at the end of each chapter.
The interpretation of the science of climate change has been modified since 2006; much of the alarm and hype about the effects of the changes on Earth's environment through anthropogenic global warming and CO2 emissions have been mitigated by later study, scientific data and meteorological facts.
For example Stern says 'Some estimates suggest that 150-200 million people may become permanently displaced by the middle of the century due to rising sea levels, more frequent floods, and more intense droughts' This would require global temperature increases well beyond those projected in current computer models, in the +3 - +4 degree centigrade range. Whereas data collected since 1950 indicates that global temperature averages actually increased by no more than one half a degree centigrade, and this during a period of so-called warming.
Students of climate change should regard The Stern Review as an example of how a government can influence an outcome by a text written and presented in an authoritative way. It is now out-of-date and ridiculed by many academics of the environment and climate change. Read and understand the subject fully and you will consider this book to be the politicised version of how climate change was set to become the major concern of the 21st century.
