Environmental management is a wide, expanding, and rapidly evolving field, which concerns all humans, and plays a crucial role in the quest for sustainable development. Environmental management affects everybody from individual citizens, farmers, administrators and lawyers, to businesses, governments, international agencies and non-governmental organisations. This updated second edition explores the nature and role of environmental management, covering key principles and practice, and offers a comprehensive and understandable introduction, which points readers to further in-depth coverage. This new edition reflects the rapid expansion and evolution of the field and focuses much more strongly on sustainable development. There has also been extensive rearrangement to make the book more accessible to those unfamiliar with environmental management and lacking a science background and there is greater coverage of topics such as key resources under stress, environmental management tools and urban environmental management.
