Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. An industry may get away with unacceptable levels or air and water pollution because the people who bear the brunt of it are poor and unable to complain effectively. A forest may be destroyed by excessive felling because the people living there have no alternatives or because timber contractors generally have more influence then forest dwellers. The integration of economic and ecological factors into the law and into decision making systems within countries has to be matched at the international level. This important book is an effort to explore different interpretations of sustainable development in both theory and practice, in developed and developing countries, and in rural and urban areas. This provocative work offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to achieve sustainable development goals.
