This is a comprehensive learning experience designed for students with limited to no economics background. Explore a wealth of new and revitalized material: updated data and content, robust test bank, cutting-edge exhibits reflecting current global issues and real-world applications, refreshed figures, tables, sources, and references. Engage with thought-provoking end-of-chapter discussion questions that encourage critical thinking and application of knowledge. Enhancements include a shift in focus from "global warming" to "climate change," which takes a more prominent role throughout the text. The discussion of social and environmental justice topics has been significantly expanded, complemented by a comprehensive DEI review. This book is not just a guide; it's a call to action; to explore the intersection of economics and the environment, where informed decisions pave the way for a sustainable future.
