Environmental priorities in Australia and its region are in many ways different from those in other parts of the world, as illuminated in Global Environmental Crises , which offers a distinctively Australian perspective on these topics. The book describes attempts at global co-operation on environmental matters, discusses Australia's role in achieving that co-operation, and describes national reactions to international agreements. While concentrating on particular issues, the case studies used highlight fundamental themes that run through all global environmental crises: the pivotal role of people as both cause and potential solution; the complex and interactive nature of biophysical and human systems; the need to consider these systems when seeking understanding or proposing action; and the concepts of sustainable actions and a sustainable society. For students of geography, earth sciences, biology, and environmental studies, Global Environmental Crises provides a refreshingly different view on the crises we face and the ways in which they can be overcome.
