Viac o knihe

Addressing the trade-offs faced by social scientists in climate policy-making, this book integrates John Dewey's pragmatist philosophy with an analysis of climate change economics. It proposes a refined science-policy model that emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and stakeholder engagement to evaluate climate policy options. By exploring the implications of various pathways, it aims to foster a deliberative public learning process on contentious issues. The work contributes to the philosophy of science, economics, and the ongoing reform of scientific assessments, making it valuable for scholars and practitioners alike.
