Summary: "Climate change poses a very bleak future for all of us if it remains unchecked and unmitigated. It is the biggest health threat of the 21" century and is now affecting our way of life. Likened to a time bomb, the environmental clock is ticking. How much time is left? Global environmental challenge impacts everyone. No one will be spared! With no regards to whatever status one has in the society, these include individual citizen like you and I, fishers' folks and farmers, professionals and businessmen. Institutions to include government, corporations, international agencies and non-government organizations are also gravely affected. Mankind seeks a solution and needed it not soonest, but fast! Many have considered Environmental Management as an important instrument in spearheading the demands and clamor to find different ways to help save the world. It is a branch of learning that deals with the application of advanced analytical methods to facilitate better judgments in making choices affecting the environment. Under the restriction of available limited resources, Environmental Management aims to seek the best possible course of action to take in the face of pressing global concerns. As a rapidly evolving field, the authors felt that it can contribute its modest share in expanding this field and be actively involved in the quest for sustainable development by coming up with this book. The authors cannot think of anything much nobler. By focusing on Environmental Management, this book distinguishes itself from others whose emphasis is on listing problems and enunciating advocacies. This book moved a notch higher from the said viewpoint and endeavored to make environmental education, which is a crucial component in our efforts to address climate change and attendant issues, relevant to the needs of our contemporary times. In order to achieve this, many efforts were relegated to link theory to practice. It addressed the continuing challenge for both academicians and students to make theories and concepts relevant to actual world situations." —Preface

"Climate change poses a very bleak future for all of us if it remains unchecked and unmitigated. It is the biggest health threat of the 21" century and is now affecting our way of life. Likened to a time bomb, the environmental clock is ticking. How much time is left?

Global environmental challenge impacts everyone. No one will be spared!

With no regards to whatever status one has in the society, these include individual citizen like you and I, fishers' folks and farmers, professionals and businessmen. Institutions to include government, corporations, international agencies and non-government organizations are also gravely affected.

Mankind seeks a solution and needed it not soonest, but fast!

Many have considered Environmental Management as an important instrument in spearheading the demands and clamor to find different ways to help save the world. It is a branch of learning that deals with the application of advanced analytical methods to facilitate better judgments in making choices affecting the environment.

Under the restriction of available limited resources, Environmental Management aims to seek the best possible course of action to take in the face of pressing global concerns. As a rapidly evolving field, the authors felt that it can contribute its modest share in expanding this field and be actively involved in the quest for sustainable development by coming up with this book. The authors cannot think of anything much nobler.

By focusing on Environmental Management, this book distinguishes itself from others whose emphasis is on listing problems and enunciating advocacies. This book moved a notch higher from the said viewpoint and endeavored to make environmental education, which is a crucial component in our efforts to address climate change and attendant issues, relevant to the needs of our contemporary times.
