Her analysis of thirteen industrial associations and seventeen firms from industries such as petrochemical, forestry, mining, and steel, reveals that, despite the higher costs, these industries prefer carbon pricing over voluntary agreements. Based on enlightening interviews with executives, government, and NGO officials, Belfry Munroe argues that the acceptance of climate change policy by companies is determined by the risks posed to capital investments and investor concern.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eBusiness in a Changing Climate is the first book to ask major pollution emitting industries in Canada what their preferences are with respect to climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: A literary foundation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Methods for Model-building\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Climate Change Policy Instruments, Business Preferences and Public Opinion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Legitimacy, Public Opinion and Investment\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Advantage\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Experience\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: the Ideas of Managers – a Null Finding with Potential\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Conclusions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595448316184,"sku":"9781487500559","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/business-in-a-changing-climate-explaining-industry-support-for-carbon-pricing-hardback-9781487500559","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
