Overview
- A “hybrid” approach is introduced to provide an innovative, trans-disciplinary approach to low carbon economics, including aspects such as control, learning, cognition, adaptation and emergence
- Offers essential concepts, theories, methods, and techniques for upper undergraduates, graduates, practitioners and researchers engaging in the relevant research jobs and practical operations
- Some quantificational technologies, such as uncertain multi-objective programming models and system dynamics models, are applied to predict and optimize the carbon intensity in many important fields for regional low carbon development, providing references for researchers in economic and environmental fields
- A series of successful application cases have been predicted for regional low carbon development and many useful policy recommendations are also provided by practical research, helping policy makers to draw up plans for regional low carbon development
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Climate Change Management (CCM)
