Confronting Climate Gridlock: How Diplomacy, Technology, and Policy Can Unlock a Clean Energy Future
"Daniel Cohan makes a compelling case that the problem of climate change is solvable. Fixing the gridlock on global action requires fixing the gridlock here in the United States of America. Cohan shows how that can be done."--David Victor, University of California, San Diego
Professor of environmental engineering Daniel Cohan argues that escaping the gravest perils of climate change will first require American diplomacy, technological innovation, and policy to catalyze decarbonization globally. Combining his own expertise along with insights from more than a hundred interviews with diplomats, scholars, and clean-technology pioneers, Cohan identifies flaws in previous efforts to combat climate change. He highlights opportunities for more successful strategies, including international "climate clubs" and accelerated development of clean energy technologies. Grounded in history and emerging scholarship, this book offers a forward-looking vision of solutions to confronting climate gridlock and a clear-eyed recognition of the challenges to enacting them.

About the Author
Praise for this book
Awarded second place recognition in the Rachel Carson Environment Book Award, sponsored by the Society of Environmental Journalists
"Daniel Cohan makes a compelling case that the problem of climate change is solvable. Fixing the gridlock on global action requires fixing the gridlock here in the United States of America. Cohan shows how that can be done."--David Victor, Professor of Innovation and Public Policy, the School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS), University of California, San Diego
"An essential and engaging read for anyone who wants to understand the climate policy landscape and where we go from here."--Katharine Hayhoe, author of Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World
"Daniel Cohan offers an up-to-date and well-researched review of many policy options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. What separates Confronting Climate Gridlock from other books is its unusual and effective combination of engineering and social science expertise with a policy-heavy focus."--Michaël Aklin, author of Renewables: The Politics of a Global Energy Transition
"Confronting Climate Gridlock is innovative in how it proposes solutions to climate problems using technology, diplomacy, and policy. This topic is timely and evolving."--Venkat Lakshmi, Professor of Engineering Systems and Environment, University of Virginia
"Where an abundance of research narrowly focuses on politics, innovation, governance, and policy, Confronting Climate Gridlock embraces them all, and in doing so makes substantial contributions to critical ongoing debates about decarbonization, negative emissions, timing, scaling, and even justice, equity, and ethics."--Benjamin K. Sovacool, author of Global Energy Justice
