This book is the first stocktaking of what the decarbonization of the world economy means for fossil fuel–dependent countries. These countries are the most exposed to the impacts of global climate policies and, at the same time, are often unprepared to manage them. They depend on the export of oil, gas, or coal; the use of carbon-intensive infrastructure (for example, refineries, petrochemicals, and coal power plants); or both. Fossil fuel–dependent countries face financial, fiscal, and macro-structural risks from the transition of the global economy away from carbon-intensive fuels and the value chains based on them. This book focuses on managing these transition risks and harnessing related opportunities. Diversification and Cooperation in a Decarbonizing World identifies multiple strategies that fossil fuel–dependent countries can pursue to navigate the turbulent waters of a low-carbon transition. The policy and investment choices to be made in the next decade will determine these countries' degree of exposure and overall resilience. Abandoning their comfort zones and developing completely new skills and capabilities in a time frame consistent with the Paris Agreement on climate change is a daunting challenge and requires long-term revenue visibility and consistent policy leadership. This book proposes a constructive framework for climate strategies for fossil fuel–dependent countries based on new approaches to diversification and international climate cooperation. Climate policy leaders share responsibility for creating room for all countries to contribute to the goals of the Paris Agreement, taking into account the specific vulnerabilities and opportunities each country faces.

This book seeks to establish more clearly the generic parameters of a successful mega infrastructure project, on the premise that mega infrastructure projects that are completed on time, within budget and to specification can also be built in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and have impacts that serve special interests at the cost of the wider community. The book more particularly refers to mega transport projects and examines their claimed successes and failures beyond the iron-triangle criteria of project management both in terms of agent of change aspirations they may pursue and in the context of longer term sustainable development challenges they are expected to address.Drawing from a case study pool of 30 mega transport projects in ten countries/territories in the developed world, the book investigates the extent to which such projects meet original and emergent objectives. It looks to offer insights into how and why these projects perform as they do and why their treatment of risk, uncertainty and complexity in decision-making can differ from nation to nation, even region to region, and over different temporal contexts. It assesses the suitability of current traditional planning, appraisal and delivery methods of mega infrastructure projects and concludes with a set of ‘lessons’ for key stakeholders.
