An unfinished Foundation
Conca, Ken
An unfinished Foundation : the United Nations and global environmental governance / Ken Conca - New York : Oxford University Press, 2015 - xvi, 301 pages ; 24 cm
The global environment and the four pillars of the UN system --
Law among nations, development within them : origins and growth of the UN's environmental framework --
The limits of law and development and the case for peace and rights --
The dignity and worth of people in nature : strengthening environmental human rights --
Greening the response to the scourge of war : environment, resources, conflict, and peace --
A stronger foundation for global environmental governance.
"Ken Conca critiques the UN's failure to use its mandates on human rights and peace as tools in its environmental work. He traces the history of the UN's traditional approaches, maps its increasingly apparent limits, and suggests much-needed reforms. His conclusion is compelling: peacebuilding, conflict sensitivity, rights-based frameworks, and accountability mechanisms can be used to enhance the UN's environmental effectiveness and legitimacy."--Page 4 of cover.
