The Environmental State of Our World: Can We Locate the Real Problem?

Ulrich Steger and Ralph Meima

Chapter 1 in The Strategic Dimensions of Environmental Management, 1998, pp 3-6 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The public environmental debate is so often distracted by the latest sensational event that awareness of the real dimensions of the problem runs the risk of being lost. We will therefore first endeavour to work out what — globally speaking — is endangering the ecological foundations of our way of life, and why we know so little in precise terms about the problem.
