A diversity of challenges and opportunities in addressing fossil fuel production at the national as well as international level, with highlights real-world problems playing out in thirteen countries profiled;
Addressing “supply-side equity” issues relating to the phaseout of fossil fuel extraction, as well as a number of possible solutions including both national and international interventions.
