What's stopping us from taking action on climate change? Can research from other fields help us find solutions where conventional thinking around environmentalism might have failed? As world leaders gather in Cancun for the latest UN summit on climate change, the Climate Connection series begins by asking whether economic theory holds the answers to us overcoming the challenges posed by our changing environment.
