Global Governance in the Age of the Anthropocene

The book explores the failures of global governance in addressing critical environmental issues during the Anthropocene. It examines the complex relationship between established governance mechanisms and the exacerbation of global challenges such as infectious diseases, food production, freshwater pollution, energy consumption, and deforestation. By analyzing these interconnected crises, the text highlights the obstacles to effective international cooperation and discusses potential solutions proposed by global governance actors to mitigate these pressing threats to the Earth-system and human societies.
