We have only one earth, and how we choose to live in it matters. At present we are in a vicious circle. Uneven development creates problems of affluence in some areas and problems of poverty in others. In both, the environment suffers. By going beyond the conventional accounts of environmental problems, this book provides a basis for action.
We have only one earth, and how we choose to live in it matters. This highly readable and challenging text sets out some important topical issues that tells us we are not making a very good job of it. From the tropical rainforests to the teeming cities of the developing world and the energy hungry nations of Europe and North America, One World for One Earth shows that many of today''s environmental problems can only be understood in terms of both the physical and the social processes involved. At present we are in a vicious circle. Uneven development creates problems of affluence in some areas and problems of poverty in others In both, the environment suffers. Independent local action has a crucial part to play, but to be really effective, sustainable development needs a new context which can only be put in place by international government co-operation.This book, by going beyond the conventional accounts of environmental problems, provides a basis for action.
