The book, Transparency in Global Environmental Governance: Critical Perspectives, co-edited with Michael Mason, analyses the nature and implications of a ‘transparency turn’ in global environmental and sustainability governance, by investigating international agreements, voluntary disclosure initiatives and public private partnerships wherein transparency plays a key role. It covers a range of global environmental issues, including climate change, biodiversity, biotechnology, chemicals, natural resource exploitation, and corporate sustainability performance.
