Description

Explore the complex realities of global consumption and sustainable development with Wasted: Counting the Costs of Global Consumption. Published by Routledge, this book examines the essential connection between economic development and environmental limits. It moves beyond international theory to look at how sustainable livelihoods can be created in practice. Using the 1992 Rio Summit as a starting point, the text investigates the massive differences in consumption levels between the Global North and South. It addresses the fundamental question of how humanity can live within sustainable limits while managing the conversion of natural resources into commodities. This set provides a deep look into the economic and environmental challenges that define our modern world, offering a necessary perspective on how we use the environment and the costs associated with global consumption patterns.
