Description
Susan Baker's Sustainable Development provides a comprehensive exploration of the international community's response to sustainable development. This concise and accessible text examines how high-consumption societies, including those in the USA and EU, are addressing the challenge of sustainable development.
The book also investigates local action, such as the transition towns movement in the UK and the Green Belt movement in Kenya, which can contribute to the pursuit of sustainable development. The second edition has been extensively revised and updated, with new chapters on sustainable development in China, governance of sustainable development, and sustainable production and consumption.
With a strong conceptual analysis and wide-ranging empirical focus, this book offers an up-to-date treatment of the issues surrounding sustainable development. It provides valuable insights into the global impact of sustainable development initiatives and their potential for promoting positive change.
