Global Environmental Governance addresses the new generation of twenty-first century environmental problems and the challenges they pose for management and governance at the local, national, and global levels.

Preface and Acknowledgements
This volume was inspired by the contemporary health crisis in the world and the manifest failure of the existing galaxy of global governance arrangements to cope. It thus takes as its central theme the need for innovation, in both the ideas and institutions of global health governance that have dominated for so long, still stand in first place today, but are being rapidly being reformed and potentially even replaced by new entrants in the field.
