"Today more than ever, when the world is beset by environmental, social, healthcare, and economic challenges, we need courage in our politics, both nationally and globally. This book tells the stories, some for the first time, of eleven individuals who made heroic contributions to protecting our planet through groundbreaking international treaties. Can an individual change the world? Today, when impersonal forces and new technologies seem to be directing our lives and even our entire planet in ways we cannot control, this question feels more relevant now than ever before. This book argues that we can and tells inspiring stories of individuals who have had a global impact that is beyond dispute, to others who have brought about change that is understated or hard to measure, where the scale of the impact will only become clear in years to come. While some are scientists, others are politicians, diplomats, activists, and even business-people, they all share the qualities of perseverance, patience, a willingness to innovate or try new approaches, and the willingness to continue over years, even decades, to pursue their goal. Drawing on interviews and the inside stories of those involved, each chapter follows one or more of these heroic individuals, a list which includes Luc Hoffmann, Mostafa Tolba, Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, Raul Oyuela Estrada, Barack Obama and Paula Caballero. Presenting an uplifting and gripping narrative, this book is an invaluable resource for students, scholars, activists and professionals who are seeking to understand how consensus is reached in these global meetings and how individuals can have a genuine impact on preserving our planet and reinforcing the positive message that global cooperation can actually work"--

Climate change is now recognised as one of the greatest challenges facing the international community and when coupled with energy production and use - the most significant contributor to climate change - and the related security problems the double threat to international security and human development is of the highest order.
