About This Book
-->
From 1999 to 2005, Richard L Sandor wrote a monthly column for Environmental Finance magazine. The column was called "How I See It", and with this latest publication, Sandor has compiled all of his articles into one comprehensive historical analysis and commentary on the field of Environmental Finance.
How I Saw It offers a historical account of the development of the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) from the "father of carbon trading" himself, and also the developments in environmental markets over the years since the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. In his monthly contribution, Sandor makes predictions in his articles, and read for yourself to see if he has been on the right path (or not) all along.
