This fully updated and expanded textbook gives you new reflections on global environmental issues. It looks at issues including climate change, sustainable development and biodiversity preservation, and sensitively addresses global developments such as the Summits at Durban on climate and at Nagoya on biodiversity. Robin Attfield gives an ethical critique of current international environmental problems and negotiations, and explains how international regimes will need to change to be able to cope with global environmental problems.
We have entered a unique century, the first century in the 35 million centuries of life on Earth in which one species can jeopardize the planet's future. Robin Attfield’s biospheric consequentialism is insightful and persuasive, at the frontier of the crescendo of global concern for life on our wonderland planet. -- Holmes Rolston III, University Distinguished Professor, Colorado State University
