埃尔加手册在能源、环境和Climate Change

Edited by Fernando J. Díaz López, Head of Research Strategy and Director Transitions Hub, EIT Climate KIC; Associate Professor Extra-Ordinary of Sustainability Systems and Eco-innovation, Stellenbosch University, South Africa, Massimiliano Mazzanti, Full Professor of Economic Policy, Director of SEEDS and CERCIS, Department of Economics and Management, University of Ferrara and Roberto Zoboli, Full Professor of Economic Policy, Faculty of Political and Social Sciences – DISEIS and Director of ASA – Alta Scuola per l’Ambiente, Catholic University Milan, Italy

Through careful investigation into the role of eco-innovation as a catalysing factor in the societal transition towards sustainability, this Handbook proposes more appropriate measures of innovation as a driver of change. It examines innovation from various perspectives, including labour, trade, the circular economy and energy, to illustrate a more comprehensive picture of its impacts.

‘It is well known that climate change causes significant challenge to societies globally. The chapters in this book trace the recent evolution of circular economy studies, improving our understanding of innovation, transition and policy based on solid economic grounding.’

‘At the core of this book is eco-innovation, explored over a wide range of relevant topics, including business models, labour markets, policies and finance for a circular economy and the clean energy transition. The book will be very useful for researchers seeking to understand the full implications of the European Green Deal across these and other issues.’
