Report
"In this well-researched and ultimately optimistic account, Clifford makes the case that environmental policies 'can and must be fixed' and gives us examples of companies that have worked to find private-sector solutions. In doing so, Clifford sheds much-needed light on the workings and future of the region's efforts on the environment, and on the need for governments to set clear rules so that business can do its part to solve the region's environmental crisis." - Joseph E. Stiglitz, 2001 Nobel Laureate in Economics
