There are very few books that cover the key opportunities in and profiles of the environment sector including the UK, Europe, Asia and Pacific Rim and Africa. To bring all these into one resource is immensely valuable. As the global environment sector is maturing and changing at a rapid pace, there is a need for an up to date comprehensive resource in this area with online resources to back it up and provide updates.

The book and its accompanying online resource will be immensely valuable in guiding people through the myriad legislation, challenges and opportunities of working in the global environment sector.

CHAPTER FORMAT

Each sector will be covered using a standard format. This will be helpful to readers, as they will be able to get to the needed information quickly and the content will be succinct and precise. Generally, books on environmental careers tend to be very wordy and discuss irrelevant issues for a job seeker, or they miss out the most helpful information. This book will be straight to the point and present the information clearly and precisely.
