Simultaneous protection of environment and growth of economy is a challenge of today. In spite of giving innovative ideas and jointly fight with situations, most of the Nations are not paying attention to it. The writer of the book Global Environment: What You Don’t Know? Describes such a situation in this book. He has closely followed the Environment summit held at Copenhagen in the December 2009 and Cancun in December 2010 and has penned each ins and out of the summit. Any country cannot pursue its interests in isolation, today’s emphasis is required in interconnection, interdependence and co-operation. Rich countries are emitting much CO2, than developing and poor countries. They are morally bound to reduce the emission of CO2 but not at the cost of their further development.

Besides environment summits as Copenhagen and Cancun, the book also contains the analysis of first court verdict on Bhopal Gas Tragedy and one of the reported mistakes of IPCC and controversy of glacier gate. The book also emphasizes the role of customs in environment protection. Any agency, government or private connected with the protection of environment and anybody with love for environment would find the book very interesting as well as informative.
