As part of the World Bank's Working Paper series, this book
uses four case studies to examine the lack of funding to investigate
global climate changes despite well-publicized investments. This
research shows how a partnership between public and private
organizations can yield successful results when it comes to developing
new technologies, and how financial barriers have been broken down by
such organizations as the Human Genome Project and the Advanced Market
Commitments for Vaccines. Written for policymakers in the energy
industry, these studies also explore the lack of consensus on global
warming, and how that affects the funding process.
