Global environmental issues have begun to emerge in recent decades. Human awareness of the damaged environment has made this environmental issue emerge. The global environmental issue that is emerging to the surface is global and the most important in the environment is global warming. Global warming or what we often call global warming is the process of increasing the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere, sea and land. Global warming has become the latest global issue related to the environment where pollution and environmental destruction are considered as factors causing the loss of the earth's natural characteristics due to global warming. The world is also aware of the need to make strong efforts considering the increasing threat to the existence of life. National environmental issues are environmental problems and the impacts resulting from these environmental problems have impacts on a national scale. One of the national environmental issues is waste. Waste is all objects or waste products in solid form as a result of human activities that are considered useless and unwanted by their owners or are discarded as useless items. Currently, environmental issues are discussed quite often. As we all know, the ozone layer is now increasingly thinning. As this layer continues to thin, it is very worrying that this layer will not exist or disappear completely from the universe. Without the ozone layer, there are many negative consequences that will befall living creatures on this earth, including: diseases will spread rapidly, unpredictable weather, global warming, and even the loss of an area due to the melting of ice at the north and south poles. The universe is just waiting for its destruction. Indeed, there are many ways to choose to overcome this problem. Scientists provide various inputs to overcome this problem according to their scientific background. Writers also do not miss out on taking part in overcoming problems that have become widespread recently. This book is here to discuss environmental issues in the era of globalization. Happy reading....

Worlds Apart presents a cohesive set of essays by leading thinkers on the subject of globalization, offering a thoughtful overview of the major environmental issues related to globalization in a clear, reasoned style. Framed by Gus Speth’s introduction and conclusion, essays range from Jane Lubchenco’s discussion of the scientific indicators of global environmental change to Robert Kates’ examination of the prospect that our growing global interconnectedness could lead a transition to a more sustainable world to Vandana Shiva’s impassioned plea for a new “living democracy” that counters the degrading, dehumanizing tendencies of the global economy. Other contributors include Maurice Strong on the Rio Earth Summit and the future course of environmentalism, José Goldemberg on energy, Jerry Mander on the inherent destructiveness of the global economic system, Stephan Schmidheiny on the forestry industry, and Daniel Esty and Maria Ivanova on global environmental governance. Edited by one of the world’s leading experts on international environmental issues, the book brings together the most respected thinkers and actors on the world stage to offer a compelling set of perspectives and a solid introduction to the social and environmental dimensions of globalization.
