It challenges those who are concerned with the management of our planet and its inhabitants to understand and accept a vocabulary common to the often-opposing objectives sought in the many GEG instruments.This fully revised and updated edition contains over 500 new entries and acronyms on global environmental governance, as well as a new introductory section on global water governance, one of the most pressing environmental issues in our era of climate change, growing populations and food shortages.
