Exploring four key security threats—state violence, environmental degradation, population displacement, and globalization—the book emphasizes the need for a dual approach to understanding these issues.

This book examines transnational environmental crime (TEC) as a significant threat to both environmental and human security. It highlights the need for environmental justice alongside efforts to combat TEC, addressing issues like wildlife crime, illegal fisheries, and toxic waste. The authors advocate for a transformative approach that considers local impacts and the protection of activists.
