Environmentalism since 1945

A lucid, concise, and balanced survey of modern environmentalism as it evolved in the US, UK, and the international NGO movement.

Professor John R. McNeill, Georgetown University , USA

This is a wonderful introductory text to the wide field of environmentalism. The history of this field is unpacked in a logical, systematic and engaging fashion and the content will inform the lay and interested person.

Dr Phia Steyn, University of Stirling , UK

Today environmental issues are part of daily life, a feature of the modern world almost everyone now recognises. Contemporary environmentalism has promoted a way of speaking and thinking about the environment that was not possible or imaginable decades ago.

Environmentalism since 1945 provides a concise introduction to the greening of politics, science, economics and culture in the post-war period. It covers key issues, including:

the birth of the environmental movement

development of global environmental governance

climate science and the rise of climate scepticism

Green New Deal and the call for prosperity without growth

greening of mainstream culture and efforts to change attitudes and behaviour

challenges the environmental movement will have to address to continue to be a force for change.

Each chapter provides a historical perspective, anchoring topics to real events, influential ideas and prominent figures. This book is an essential introduction for all those interested in the history of environmentalism.

Gary Haq is a Human Ecologist and Senior Research Associate at the Stockholm Environment Institute at the University of York, UK.

Alistair Paul is a Senior Policy Advisor at the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change and former Senior Research Associate at the Stockholm Environment Institute.
