Description
Environmentalism Since 1945 by Gary Haq provides a concise introduction to the evolution of environmental thought and action in the post-war period. From the birth of the environmental movement to the challenges facing its continued relevance, this book explores key issues such as climate science, global governance, and cultural shifts. Through a historical perspective, Haq examines influential ideas, real events, and prominent figures that have shaped contemporary environmentalism. This study covers topics including the rise of climate scepticism, the Green New Deal, and efforts to change attitudes and behaviour. An ideal starting point for those interested in understanding the history of environmentalism, this book offers a valuable insight into the development of modern environmental thought and its ongoing impact on politics, science, and culture.
