It was intended to be the world's environmental conscience, an anchor institution that established norms and researched policy, leaving it to other organizations to carry out its recommendations. In this book, Maria Ivanova offers a detailed account of UNEP's origin and history. Ivanova counters the common criticism that UNEP was deficient by design, arguing that UNEP has in fact delivered on much (though not all) of its mandate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Ivanova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262542102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262542104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Maria Ivanova","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989053341951,"sku":"9780262542104","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e5b1920-463c-477a-9c78-8836211dd779.jpg?v=1683297546","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-untold-story-of-the-maria-ivanova-9780262542104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
