This introductory-level textbook assumes no prior knowledge of economics. Part One explains the relevant economic concepts, such as markets, environmental valuation, risk, and trade, using environmental examples from all over the world. Part Two then uses these concepts in understanding and developing policy responses to some of the major environmental issues of our time, such as climate change, water pollution, and the loss of biodiversity.
