“This powerful and often provocative book provides a comprehensive map of technical and political challenges, as well as much-needed choices, to give traction and content to the goal of a world with Net Zero carbon emissions. In a time when this approach has been embraced by so many corporations and governments, Settling Climate Accounts gives new lenses through which one can interpret and hopefully steer today’s global negotiations and individual actions.” —Joaquim Levy, former Chief Financial Officer, World Bank Group and former Finance Minister of Brazil “In setting ‘Net Zero’ goals far into the future, it can be tempting to gloss over the actual impacts of the transition toward those goals. Heller and Seiger tackle the issue head-on in Settling Climate Accounts, cautioning that aligning emissions toward zero must be married to real-world strategies to reduce economic risks to sectors and communities. This is an important historical review of what has and has not worked at the intersection of climate finance and policy, and a must-read for those looking to do better going forward.” —Kate Gordon, Senior Advisor to the US Secretary of Energy “Net Zero has become the principal driver of climate action as evidenced by the commitments of leading firms and banks. This book effectively addresses key sustainable pathways from the intersection of climate sciences, business and public policy.” —Anne Finucane, Vice Chairman, Bank of America Thomas Heller is the Charles and Nadine Shelton Professor of International Legal Studies (emeritus) at Stanford University Law School. He also currently directs the Precourt Energy Institute’s Sustainable Finance Initiative and the Steyer-Taylor Center at Stanford.

Over the last fifteen years the world's largest developing countries have initiated market reform in their electric power sectors from generation to distribution. This book evaluates the experiences of five of those countries - Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa - as they have shifted from state-dominated systems to schemes allowing for a larger private sector role. As well as having the largest power systems in their regions and among the most rapidly rising consumption of electricity in the world, these countries are the locus of massive financial investment and the effects of their power systems are increasingly felt in world fuel markets. This accessible volume explains the origins of these reform efforts and offers a theory as to why - despite diverse backgrounds - reform efforts in all five countries have stalled in similar ways. The authors also offer practical advice to improve reform policies.
