environmental and human systems, proposing environmental policy
as a way to steer human systems to function within environmental
constraints.
The second edition has been completely updated to reflect
advances in scholarship (for example developments in governance
theory) and the increasing primacy of climate policy within
environmental policy as a whole. Key political, social and
economic concepts are used to explain how effective environmental
policies can be designed, implemented and evaluated.
Environmental problems, the role of human beings in creating them
and sustainable development are all introduced. Environmental
policy formulation, implementation and evaluation are discussed
within three specific contexts: the firm, the nation state and at
an international level. The book reviews the relationship of
economics, science and technology to environmental policy. It
ends by reflecting upon the predicament of humankind in the
twenty-first century and the potential of achieve sustainability
through the use of the environmental policy ‘toolbox’.
