Political Economy of Energy Reform
the Clean Energy-Fossil Fuel Balance in the Gulf
Edited by Giacomo Luciani Edited by Rabia Ferroukhi
The countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) face a dilemma between the continuing development of their fossil fuel endowments and the increasing reliance on low carbon sources, such as nuclear, solar or wind. This book explores various facets of the dilemma.
Climate change requires coordinated global responses. All nations, including major Gulf Arab oil producers, should implement policies to contain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Yet all realistic scenarios point to the continuing global need for fossil fuels. The countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) thus face a dilemma between continuing development and use of their fossil fuel endowments and increasing reliance on low carbon sources, such as nuclear, solar or wind. This book explores various facets of the dilemma.
