Lectures in the Economics of Climate Change provides a rigorous and comprehensive treatment of the economic dimensions of one of the most pressing challenges of our time. The book aims to bridge the physical science of climate change with the analytical tools of economics, equipping readers with the theoretical foundations and applied frameworks needed to understand, model, and evaluate climate policy.The book introduces readers to the physical evidence for climate change ? including warming mechanisms, carbon budgets, and projected futures ? before developing formal climate models that link energy balance dynamics to economic activity. From this foundation, it moves into core economic theory, framing climate change as a global externality and examining regulatory approaches from Pigouvian taxes to tradable permits.The book then extends the scope to financial markets, physical and transition risks, green bonds, ESG investing, and the role of monetary policy, before concluding with a thorough examination of international climate agreements from Kyoto to the Paris Agreement and COP29, and a survey of climate policy instruments spanning mitigation, adaptation, carbon pricing, and solar radiation management.The book is suitable for advanced students and researchers in economics, public policy, and environmental studies.
