Understanding Poverty and the Environment

Více o knize

Exploring the complex interplay between poverty and environmental degradation, the book questions the simplistic notion of a vicious cycle linking the two. It delves into whether poverty causes environmental harm or if environmental issues perpetuate poverty, while considering other influencing factors. The text highlights themes such as power dynamics, access to resources, institutional roles, and the importance of scale in these interactions. Additionally, it offers a curated list of essential readings and contemporary publications to deepen understanding of these critical issues.
