and more than one thousand international environmental agreements
already exist. Yet the prospects for international cooperation
leading to the management of impacts on the planet remain grim. The

policies at the end of the 20th century. The book examines
disagreements over the meaning of sustainable development, problems
inherent in implementing environmental policies and the conflict
over the exclusion of developing countries from the Kyoto Protocol.
It discusses the profound trade-offs that may be required, the role
of international financial interests in promoting incompatible
forms of development and analyses international environmental
institutions, law and policy and sustainable development.
