Editorial reviews
Worldwatch.org celebrates its 20th year as one of the world's preeminent environmental organizations. Think of this audio as a refresher on the most important environmental conversations and innovations in these past years. Reviewing green economy, growth, and environmental laws and politics, this book is a clear, informed overview of the state of the "green movement" today. Jack Garrett' narration is deliberate and slow, as if to give his listeners time to jot down notes, or simply reflect. The book was written in 2012, so the audio already feels slightly dated - for example the audiobook is written before the sustainable development summit known as Rio 2012. A great listen for anyone feeling like they need a global issues review before they face the future.
Publisher's Summary
In the 2012 edition of its flagship report, Worldwatch celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the 1992 Earth Summit with a far-reaching analysis of progress toward building sustainable economies. Written and read in clear language, State of the World 2012 offers a new perspective on what changes and policies will be necessary to make sustainability a permanent feature of the world's economies. The Worldwatch Institute has been named one of the top three environmental think tanks in the world by the University of Pennsylvania's Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program.
