"This book combines three contemporary concerns: the environment, digital technologies, and the role of civil society. It offers an articulate and highly readable synthesis of how civil society organizations can use digital technologies to take part in environmental governance today. This should be recommended reading for policy-makers, researchers and students interested in the present and future of environmental governance." - Professor Dusan Sidjanski, Professor Emeritus, University of Geneva and Honorary Chairman of the European Cultural Centre."Environmental governance and the politics of the ICTs revolution rank among the most relevant challenges of international relations in the near future. Jérôme Duberry's book offers a deep understanding of both opportunities and risks of digital technologies for political participation in global environmental governance. A brilliant contribution to put the digital revolution at the service of human needs." - Josep Ibáñez, Associate professor of international public law and International relations, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona.
