Ozone Diplomacy

“This superb book…makes clear that governments will often have to act while there is still much scientific uncertainty… An authoritative, well-written work.”—Foreign Affairs

“Richard Benedick is not your average diplomat. A decade ago, industrialists tried to get him sacked as US negotiator to the Montreal Protocol meeting that banned the ozone-eating CFCs. He survived to tell that and many other stories in the new ‘enlarged edition’ of Ozone Diplomacy. Updated to last September, it is still the definitive story of the world’s first and so far most successful global environmental treaty.”—New Scientist
