Elements of Environmental Management is an interdisciplinary textbook that integrates corporate
environmental strategy with environmental economics, environmental law, and environmental
engineering. Written by an expert on international trade and environmental economics, it
addresses several important questions: How can businesses respond to public policies and
regulatory requirements? How does emission trading work? What technological options are
available to prevent or mitigate pollution? Using examples from a wide range of industries,
it provides students with the essential tools for examining environmental problems from
a business perspective.
