This sixth edition includes: -updated coverage of international environmental regulations, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the environment, the effects of war on the environment, recent environmental summits and agreements, the evolving energy and transportation sectors, and trailblazing policies and research -expanded coverage of environmental issues and approaches in underrepresented countries and continents -new discussions of EV batteries, populist leaders, carbon leakage, food waste, and ecological resilience -revised digital supplements, including a solutions guide, PowerPoints and sample tests. Environmental Economics and Natural Resource Management promotes environmental and economic literacy with policy-oriented, application-based content delivered in concise, accessible discussions. Through its engaging approach, the text brings the economic way of thinking into discussions of personal, community, corporate, and government activities that affect environmental assets and the quality of life"--
