Proponents of globalization argue that it protects the global
environment from degradation and promotes worldwide sustainable
economic growth while opponents argue the exact opposite. Examining
the local, national, and international impacts of globalization,
the Handbook of Globalization and the Environment explores
strategies and solutions that support healthy economic growth,
protect the environment, and create a more equitable world.
The book sets the stage with coverage of global environmental
issues and policies. It explores international sustainable
development, the evolution of global warming policy, transborder
air pollution, desertification, space and the global environment,
and human right to water. Building on this foundation, the editors
discuss global environmental organizations and institutions with
coverage of the UN's role in globalization, the trade-environment
nexus, the emergence of NGOs, and an analysis of the state of
global environmental knowledge and awareness from an international
and comparative perspective.
Emphasizing the effects of increasingly integrated global
economy on the environment and society, the book examines
environmental management and accountability. It addresses green
procurement, provides an overview of U.S. environmental regulation
and the current range of voluntary and mandatory pollution
prevention mechanisms in use, explores a two-pronged approach to
establishing a sustainable procurement model, and examines a
collaborative community-based approach to environmental regulatory
compliance. The book concludes with an analysis of controversial
issues, such as eco-terrorism, North-South disputes, environmental
justice, the promotion ofeconomic growth through globalization in
less developed countries, and the ability of scientists to
communicate ideas so that policy makers can use science in decision
making.
