Abstract "This fully updated and expanded textbook offers new reflections on global environmental issues including climate change, sustainable development and biodiversity preservation, while remaining sensitive to global developments such as the Summits at Durban on climate and at Nagoya on biodiversity. It supplies an ethical critique of current international environmental problems and negotiations, and the shape which international regimes will need in order to cope with global environmental problems"--Back cover.
