This first volume of "Climate, Energy, and Environment: Issues, Analyses, and Developments" presents current topical research in the study of the challenges that affect whether actions to preserve forests could make a cost-effective contribution to reducing global emissions of greenhouse gases; the potential of ocean fertilisation for climate change mitigation; the energy and economic impacts of U.S. federal energy and water conservation standards adopted from 1987 through 2011; and Klamath Basin settlement agreements.
