Routledge Handbook of Environment and Society in Asia synopsis

There is no relationship between society and the environment more than anywhere else, and potentially harmful to the future of the world than Asia. In recent decades, the rapid development of Asian countries with large populations has led to an unprecedented increase in environmental problems such as air and water pollution, solid and hazardous waste, deforestation, depletion of natural resources and the extinction of native species.

This guide provides a comprehensive study of the cultural, social and political contexts of environmental change in East Asia. A team of international experts is examining a wide range of environmental problems related to energy, climate change, air, land, water, fisheries, forestry and wildlife.

The editors conclude that with nearly half of the planet's population and many fast-growing economies, particularly China, Asian societies will determine much of the future of human impacts on regional and global environments. As climate change-related threats to society mount, the book strongly argues for increased environmental awareness and action in Asian societies.

This guide is a valuable companion for students, scholars, policy makers and researchers working on environmental issues in Asia.
