★ “The activists’ stories are extraordinary...It’s a powerful answer to Rao’s framing questions: ‘Who is an environmental defender? What does she or he look like? Maybe like you. Maybe like me.’”—Publishers Weekly, starred review ★ “Thought-provoking reading for young people figuring out their own contributions. This valuable compilation shows that Earth’s salvation lies in the diversity of its people.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review One Earth profiles Black, Indigenous and People of Color who live and work as environmental defenders. Through their individual stories, the book shows that the intersection of environment and ethnicity is an asset to achieving environmental goals. The twenty short biographies introduce readers to diverse activists from all around the world, who are of many ages and ethnicities. From saving ancient trees on the West Coast of Canada, to protecting the Irrawaddy dolphins of India, to uncovering racial inequalities in the food system in the United States, these environmental heroes are celebrated by author and biologist Anuradha Rao, who outlines how they went from being kids who cared about the environment to community leaders in their field. One Earth is full of environmental role models waiting to be found.

Forty years after the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, the goal of sustainable development continues via the Rio+20 conference in 2012. This book will enable a broad readership to understand what has been achieved in the past forty years and what hasn’t. It shows the continuing threat of our present way of living to the planet. It looks to the challenges that we face twenty years from the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, "The Earth Summit," in Rio, in particular in the areas of economics and governance and the role of stakeholders. It puts forward a set of recommendations that the international community must address now and in the the future. It reminds us of the planetary boundaries we must all live within and and what needs to be addressed in the next twenty years for democracy, equity and fairness to survive. Finally it proposes through the survival agenda a bare minimum of what needs to be done, arguing for a series of absolute minimum policy changes we need to move forward.

Celebrate our planet and discover easy ways to take care of it with this picture book that's perfect for budding environmentalists and nature lovers. Kids can count reasons to love the planet and ways to protect it in the pages of this conservation-themed book. Gentle verse reminds the reader of Earth's beauties--starting with "one wide sweeping sky, two honey bees" and continuing all the way to "ten fields to plow." The text then starts counting backwards, listing simple ways children can help, such as reducing waste and reusing items. The conclusion takes us back to number one with the book's key message: "One Earth so beautiful. Remember--only one." At once celebration and challenge, this book will encourage children to take better care of the planet.

In 2025, humanity finds itself at one of the most chaotic, unstable, and dangerous times since the end of World War II. The global governance structures created some 80 years ago rather prematurely proclaimed to have defeated fascism under the aegis of the United Nations and the UN Charter. These structures have been fundamental in preventing another global conflict and have facilitated immense developmental strides, reductions in extreme poverty and unprecedented improvements in health and education. However, as is evidenced from current political and social events across the world, the foundations on which the international order have been built are in crisis. Whether the emergence of authoritarian governments, the dramatic and worsening economic inequality within and between nations or the rapidly worsening effects of climate change, the present structures of global governance and the very elements of which this system is built – nation states – are proving incapable of structurally addressing the challenges facing the people of the world. This timely book explores some of the attributes of a new political vision that shifts from today’s world of nation states towards a democratic global polity comprised of world citizens. It goes beyond addressing philosophical issues and examines a range of practical and innovative proposals including global voting through Smartphones, setting universal quality-control criteria for aspiring politicians, the establishment of a world parliament, the creation of an official status of world citizen and many other related themes. One Earth, One Politics provides a series of concrete measures that can realistically be put into place to unify our world into a single, democratic, and equitable polity, a process the authors believe will be vital if our civilization is to successfully navigate the global challenges of climate change and other existential threats.

We have only one earth, and how we choose to live in it matters. This highly readable and challenging text sets out some important topical issues that tells us we are not making a very good job of it. From the tropical rainforests to the teeming cities of the developing world and the energy hungry nations of Europe and North America, One World for One Earth shows that many of today's environmental problems can only be understood in terms of both the physical and the social processes involved. At present we are in a vicious circle. Uneven development creates problems of affluence in some areas and problems of poverty in others In both, the environment suffers. Independent local action has a crucial part to play, but to be really effective, sustainable development needs a new context which can only be put in place by international government co-operation. This book, by going beyond the conventional accounts of environmental problems, provides a basis for action. Originally published in 1991

Poor people in the South have every reason to protect their own environment: they depend on it more directly than the rich and are more immediately affected by its destruction or deterioration. Yet in many places they are powerless to defend or improve it. With full-color case studies which draw on Oxfam's experience, One Earth, Two Worlds looks at environmental issues from the point of view of poor people. What are the pressures on the environment in the South? What are people doing to solve their own problems? Are we in the North part of the problem, or part of the solution?
