Congratulations on your gold book award!
Synopsis
This book aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the global air pollution crisis, focusing particularly on the complex interplay between economic development, environmental justice, and human rights. The Privilege of Blue Skies moves from examining the historical shift of polluting industries from developed to developing nations, through the transformation of consumption patterns, to potential solutions including technological innovations, indigenous knowledge systems, and rights-based approaches to environmental protection. It particularly emphasizes the often-overlooked aspects of air pollution, such as the phenomenon of “green gentrification” and the controversial development of “clean” cities.
