About the product

This book presents conditions necessary for resolving the dual crises of high indebtedness of numerous countries and environmental deterioration. The author assesses major obstacles to change, then reviews market-based and debt-reduction proposals for tackling the crises. Of particular interest are new financial approaches such as 'debt-for-nature' swaps designed to ease debt burdens and at the same time discourage environmentally harmful practices.
