This book aims to demonstrate that while the notion of climate change is generally acknowledged and accepted worldwide, there is a gaping chasm between the cast of global players in how to address the issue. GREEN GAMBIT examines the components of this chasm, guiding readers through fundamental elements to enhance their understanding of the challenges. These elements include an understanding of energy systems and our need for energy, the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and its impacts, basic scientific coverage of climate change, the ideological perceptions of climate change issues, sustainability and the concept of environmental, social, and governance (ESG), and a look at the policy environment. Readers will soon understand that managing human use of resources is a tricky business.We illustrate the tendency of states to coalesce into like-minded blocs to maintain advantages - and minimise disadvantages - as much as possible. The resulting effect is one of vested interests, agitated global audiences, and continuous calls for social and climate justice. Additionally, a brief summary of each COP event is included to highlight emerging trends - and frustrations - from this annual meeting.
