Evidence of climate change, resource shortages and biodiversity
loss is growing in significance year by year. This second edition
of Environmental Policy explains how policy can respond and bring
about greater sustainability in individual lifestyles, corporate
strategies, national policies and international relations. The book
discusses the interaction between environmental and human systems,
proposing environmental policy as a way to steer human systems to
function within environmental constraints. The second edition has
been completely updated to reflect advances in scholarship (for
example developments in governance theory) and the increasing
primacy of climate policy within environmental policy as a whole.
Key political, social and economic concepts are used to explain how
effective environmental policies can be designed, implemented and
evaluated. Environmental problems, the role of human beings in
creating them and sustainable development are all introduced.
Environmental policy formulation, implementation and evaluation are
discussed within three specific contexts: the firm, the nation
state and at an international level. The book reviews the
relationship of economics, science and technology to environmental
policy. It ends by reflecting upon the predicament of humankind in
the twenty-first century and the potential of achieve
sustainability through the use of the environmental policy
'toolbox'. Environmental Policy is an accessible text with a
multi-disciplinary perspective. Lively case studies drawn from a
range of international examples - and completely updated for this
second edition - illustrate issues such as climate change,
international trade, tourism and human rights. It includes chapter
summaries, suggestions for further reading and links to relevant
web resources.
