Energy, environment, and development

Edición de la obra Energy, environment, and development

"The relationship between energy and the environment has been the basis of many studies over the years, as has the relationship between energy and development, yet both of these approaches may produce distortions. This is the first book to study all three elements in relation to one another, disaggregating national populations by income and by the environmental effects of different income groups, and thus producing an analysis which is acutely relevant to the wide income disparities of developing countries. By looking in detail at how different income groups consume energy, Professor Goldemberg identifies the differences between local, regional and global environmental impacts, and can thus ascertain who is responsible for them."--BOOK JACKET.
