摘要

James Speth has been an environmental policy advisor to two U.S. presidents, chief executive of the United Nations Development Programme (UNEP) and is currently dean of the school of forestry and environmental studies at Yale University. He summarizes the growing deleterious impact mankind has had on the global environment since World War Ⅱ. The general parameters are well known and Speth provides incontrovertible supporting data: large-scale extinction of plant and animal species, desertification, global warming with high-risk consequences, and widespread pollution of lakes and rivers. At the heart of the crisis Speth describes is the rate at which the impact has increased in the later half of the 20th century and will certainly continue to increase in the 21st century. Speth presents the magnitude of the impact, the underlying forces that have led to this impact and why international agreements have failed to address them. Speth argues that the looming crisis can be averted or greatly minimized by transforming environmental governance at the international level and "by pushing bottom-up, voluntary initiatives to scale."
