Anderson, with the US Environmental Protection Agency, and Sarma, former secretary and current consultant for the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), present the first history of an environmental issue published by the UNEP. They recount how the global agreements on the ozone layer became outstanding successes that might inspire the world community to tackle other environmental problems. The science, diplomacy, technology and business policy, implementation, compliance, and media coverage are all part of the story. Distributed in the US by Stylus.
