Global Analysis on Crimes That Affect the Environment

The Earth is simultaneously facing climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. Yet a significant aspect of this triple planetary crisis is overlooked - crime. Crimes that affect the environment contribute to each element of the triple planetary crisis to some degree. But until now, there has never been a global overview of the nature and extent of crimes that affect the environment. This first-ever Global Analysis on Crimes that Affect the Environment is a robust exploration of what crimes that affect the environment are, how they are committed, the role of organized crime groups and corruption, what drives people and corporations to commit crimes that affect the environment, what are the supply chain structures of illegal environmental commodities, what does this all mean for improved policies and prevention strategies, and what are the impacts of crimes that affect the environment.
