Our Common Environment and Globalization

Shadows and Hopes

Society and environment: research into intensifying interactions

The study of globalizing environmental problems has involved clarifying their causes and effects and estimating their outcomes depending on various assumptions. Researchers have also considered the feasibility of intervening and modifying ‘business as usual’ economic, production, and consumption patterns to manage these problems or at least lessen their adverse impacts. Special attention has been paid, in particular, to reducing the use of non-renewable (and conditionally renewable) natural resources and the variety of rapidly increasing environmental pressures. Among these ‘diagnostic’ analyses and ‘therapeutic’ proposals, we refer below (without claiming to be exhaustive) to those which have significantly influenced the development of international scientific and political cooperation on the subject of environmental globalization.

Globalization has had significant and severe impacts on the Earth’s environment, which is the common home of all human societies, and on which state and resources the life and the well-being of present and future generations depend. This book is devoted to the analysis of the evolution of the environmental globalization process, its drivers and dangerous consequences, and the development of international environmental scientific and policy cooperation. The most important international organizations, programs, and agreements are presented that deal with global environmental problems, and their effectiveness is also evaluated. Based on this comprehensive overview, the most essential conclusions and lessons are defined.
