No Time to Waste
Poverty and the Global Environment
It is increasingly clear that environmental problems cannot be solved without full consideration of the process of economic development, the results of which are so often destructive rather than sustainable. No Time to Waste examines these issues from a Southern viewpoint, and gives examples from Oxfam's experience of how poor people are responding to safeguard and improve the environment, on which their livelihoods, and our common futures, depend.
