ONE PLANET, TWO
HEMISPHERES Rather than promoting democracy and equality and building a just framework for future governance, environmental negotiations have turned into business transactions, where the rich and powerful often trample on the poor and weak This book provides a close analysis of important environment-related conventions and institutions from their origins, and demystifies the politics of saving the environment. It examines the politics between rich and poor nations, and how the stand of one country has influenced the other A first-ever comprehensive Southern perspective of the impact of global environmental governance on the real lives of real people, it takes information as the starting point to promote understanding between Northern and Southern governments, and civil society The gen reports are the beginning rather than the end of a process. We hope that they will initiate debate, serve as an eye-opener, and lead to better informed interventions in global negotiations |
