Summary
Is poverty to blame for the global environmental crisis - or, conversely, is environmental degradation a major cause of poverty? This question is at the heart of this book, which conceives of 'environment' in the broadest sense: one that includes people and social relationships. It first reflects on the relationships between poverty and environmental change, from theoretical and practical perspectives. It then presents frameworksfor action by development agencies, exploring power and in particular the notion of sustainable livelihoods. Thirdly it discusses practical tools and approaches to project management. Finally it considers how strategies and policies can address the structural causes of environmental degradation and poverty.
