Accordingly, they and other environmental concerns have been a particular focus for international organizations from before the First World War to the present day. This volume is the first to comprehensively explore the environmental activities of professional communities, NGOs, regional bodies, the United Nations, and other international organizations during the twentieth century. It follows their efforts to shape debates about environmental degradation, develop binding intergovernmental commitments, and-following the seminal 1972 Conference on the Human Environment-implement and enforce actual international policies. 650 0 $a Environmental protection $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Environmental policy $x History. $x History. 650 7 $a Environmental policy $x International cooperation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913284 650 7 $a Environmental protection $x International cooperation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913367 650 7 $a Internationale Organisation $2 gnd 650 7 $a Umweltschutz $2 gnd 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. 700 1 $a Kaiser, Wolfram, $e editor. 700 1 $a Meyer, Jan-Henrik, $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781785333637 830 0 $a Environment in history ; $v v. 11. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318011828.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FC4813960CF511EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
