Can we trust the experts? Does technology have the answers? Should we look to governments or to markets to solve the problems? Are political solutions possible? Should we be optimistic or pessimistic about the environmental futures? To address these questions we need to look at environmental responses in an integrated way. This includes understanding the responses of environments to change, and the responses to those changes made by societies. Environmental Responses takes an innovative interdisciplinary approach to understanding the risks and uncertainties that inform our responses to environments. Featuring places such as Lake Baikal, Andalusia, Cumbria and Bhutan the book is richly illustrated drawing on examples from across the world. Among the issues covered are:\u003cbr\u003e * how we might deal with environmental risk in conditions of scientific and political uncertainty\u003cbr\u003e * the need to understand the technical, economic and political responses to environmental change\u003cbr\u003e * finding new ways of involving citizens in decisions affecting environmental futures\u003cbr\u003e * the prospects for achieving sustainable forms of development\u003cbr\u003e Environmental Responses is the final book in a series entitled Environment: Change, Contest and Response that forms a large part of an Open University interdisciplinary course on environmental matters.
