The limits of the Stern Review for climate change policy-making

The Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change was published by the UK Treasury on 30 October 2006. It was announced to the world in a carefully orchestrated media campaign, spearheaded by the British Prime Minister and the Chancellor, in the week before five thousand climate change negotiators and actors congregated in Nairobi for the 12th Session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
