Smart Climate Action Through Transfer of Development Rights

Více o knize

Effective climate action hinges on innovative land use strategies, emphasizing the importance of diverse, compact communities that minimize car dependency. The book explores Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) as a market-driven approach to channel growth away from vital ecological areas, preserving farms, forests, and wetlands while enhancing carbon sequestration. Highlighting 282 TDR programs, it illustrates their role in mitigating climate threats like wildfires and floods. Community engagement and political will are crucial for success, making TDR a cost-effective alternative to inaction.
