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. 410 0$aYale Nota bene. 606 $aGlobal environmental change 606 $aEnvironmental protection 606 $aGlobalization$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zUnited States 606 $aEnvironmental protection$zUnited States 615 0$aGlobal environmental change. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection. 615 0$aGlobalization$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 615 0$aEnvironmental protection 676 $a363.700973 700 $aSpeth$b James Gustave$01600496 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820307203321 996 $aRed sky at morning$93923631 997 $aUNINA
