Lifetime Carbon DebtEditie 1

Lifetime Carbon Debt shows how individuals can help global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by addressing their own annual and lifetime emissions.

People around the world look to governments to provide leadership and action on climate change, and to industry and the wider business community to reduce emissions associated with their activities. However, individuals also have an important role to play by taking responsibility for their emissions. In this book Chris Anastasi offers guidance on how they can do this depending on their personal circumstances. He explains how individuals can estimate their annual and lifetime carbon debt and then explores the various options available to repay this debt, from changing their behaviour and embracing new technology, to using markets. Finally, the book highlights the significant contribution a community of like-minded individuals can make to our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Lifetime Carbon Debt will be of interest to those individuals who want to be better informed about their contribution to climate change and wish to take responsibility for their emissions. It is also an excellent resource for academics and students with an interest in climate change.
