With new material on the adoption of global Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development the December 2015 Paris Climate Change conference and recent meetings of major conventions on desertification, biological diversity, and more the authors present a comprehensive overview of contemporary international environmental politics.
