Looking beyond technical fixes, it further draws on economics, politics and sociology to explore how modern technology can contribute to effective and socially just sustainability transitions.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExamining cutting-edge research on energy, transport and industry, this Handbook argues that we have the technologies and policy instruments needed to mitigate and adapt to climate change. However, for larger-scale implementation the support at the socio-economic and political levels has to be increased. Chapters further analyse the role that technology plays in key sectors, such as agriculture and forestry, in order to become more sustainable. Contributors also reflect on the position of technology in society, illustrating the wider socio-technical systems that determine the impact that new technologies can have. They call for the political will to implement and scale up technological measures to address climate change across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook on Climate Change and Technology\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for academics and students of climate change, energy, sustainability and environmental governance and regulation.
