This timely Handbook presents the latest knowledge on technological innovation for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Looking beyond technical fixes, it further draws on economics, politics, and sociology to explore how modern technology can contribute to effective and socially just sustainability transitions.
Examining cutting-edge research on energy, transport and industry, this Handbook argues that we have the technologies and policy instruments needed to mitigate and adapt to climate change, however, for larger-scale implementation the support at the socio-economic and political levels has to be increased. Chapters further analyse the role that technology plays in key sectors, such as agriculture and forestry, becoming more sustainable. Contributors also reflect on the position of technology in society, illustrating the wider socio-technical systems that determine the impact new technologies can have. They call for the political will to implement and scale up technological measures to address climate change across the world.
手册上气候由e Change and Technology will be essential reading for academics and students of climate change, energy, sustainability, and environmental governance and regulation. It will also be an invaluable resource for practitioners and policy-makers seeking a deeper understanding of the role of technology in sustainability transitions.

Critical Acclaim
‘This book is a goldmine for practitioners and researchers in the field of climate change and technology. The depth and breadth of this book is second to none, bringing together contributions from top technology experts across key domains of climate change mitigation.’
– Rasmus Lema, Maastricht University, the Netherlands
‘A tour de force in terms of ambition, scope, and execution. The Handbook covers it all, from climate mitigation and adaptation to the supreme importance of looking beyond technology to avert climate disaster. It’s crammed not only with deep expert knowledge across more than 30 chapters from some of the world’s top thinkers, it is written and presented in impressive clarity and style. It’s moved into front place on my bookshelf.’
– Benjamin K. Sovacool, Boston University, US
‘Technology is the key to climate change mitigation and adaptation in these challenging times. The timely launch of the Handbook on Climate Change and Technology enables us to discover the wide range of technologies today to meet the Paris Agreement goals. A must-read for all who are interested in the impacts of climate change and how to make the world a better place to live in.’
