Climate and Energy in the Mediterranean

This groundbreaking book makes a compelling case for Mediterranean countries to launch an all-out war against climate change, arguing that the regions future stability depends on nothing less. Marshalling facts and arguments rooted in science, economics, and basic common sense, the author has provided a fresh and useful reference that is both thought-provoking and easy to read. In particular, Climate and Energy in the Mediterranean demonstrates how the Blue Economy in general, and offshore wind in particular, can make the transition to a post-carbon world safer, surer, shorter, and more profitable. The author also identifies key requirements for fulsome but sustainable exploitation of the sea, including the settling of maritime borders and expanded cooperation among coastal states.
