Rezensionen

"For 30 years scholars have turned to Global Environmental Politics to understand the depth and range of environmental issues addressed by sustainable development diplomacy. This latest edition arrives at the beginning of a critical decade of delivery against agreed Sustainable Development Goals. Compound crises of climate change and biodiversity loss are upon us. The institutions and mechanisms we have use to cooperate are threatened by the benign neglect of friends, outright attack of populist enemies and the complexity of issues and actors. This 8th edition is, therefore, an essential volume for every student interested in how we can live within planetary boundaries in societies and economies that work for everyone." - Rachel Kyte CMG, Dean, The Fletcher School, Tufts University.
