It is both alarming and hopeful. James Gustave Speth, renowned as a visionary environmentalist leader, warns that in spite of all the international negotiations and agreements of the past two decades, efforts to protect Earths environment are not succeeding. Still, he says, the challenges are not insurmountable. He offers comprehensive, viable new strategies for dealing with environmental threats around the world.The author explains why current approaches to critical global environmental problemsclimate change, biodiversity loss, deterioration of marine environments, deforestation, water shortages, and othersdont work. He offers intriguing insights into why we have been able to address domestic environmental threats with some success while largely failing at the international level. Setting forth eight specific steps to a sustainable future, Speth convincingly argues that dramatically different government and citizen action are now urgent. If ever a book could be described as essential, this is it.Yale Nota bene.Global environmental changeEnvironmental protectionGlobalizationEnvironmental aspectsEnvironmental policyUnited StatesEnvironmental protectionUnited StatesGlobal environmental change.Environmental protection.GlobalizationEnvironmental aspects.Environmental policyEnvironmental protection363.700973Speth James Gustave1600496MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820307203321Red sky at morning3923631UNINA
