Drawing on the work of eminent scholars and practitioners from a range of disciplines, and a broad spectrum of case studies, this book sets itself the ambitious goal of formulating a comprehensive and holistic understanding of stranded assets. The result will be the first complete exposition of the different dimensions and facets of stranded assets from environmental, sustainability, and climate change perspectives. The book will provide much needed clarity as the discourse on stranded assets gathers further momentum.
