Global Environmental Politics
About this book
Global Environmental Politics has provided an accurate, up-to-date, and unbiased understanding of the world's most pressing environmental issues for more than thirty years. This ninth edition continues this practice by covering critical new developments in global environmental politics and policymaking.
Updated case studies on key issues such as climate change, endangered species, ozone depletion, land degradation and desertification, marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction, whaling, hazardous wastes, toxic chemicals, mercury, and biodiversity detail the ongoing development of major environmental treaty regimes, and a new case study on plastic pollution showcases the challenges of creating new treaties during a period of significant global change. There is also new material on the challenges to implementing the Sustainable Development Goals, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the World Trade Organization's agreement on fisheries subsidies, and the use of the International Court of Justice to improve compliance with environmental agreements. Updated information about global environmental trends, paradigms, and actors completes this comprehensive introduction to contemporary international environmental politics.
Global Environmental Politics is vital reading for students of environmental politics and anyone wishing to understand the current state of the field and to make informed decisions about which policies will best safeguard our environment for the future.
