Index
Edited by James Meadowcroft, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, David Banister, Emeritus Professor of Transport Studies, School of Geography and the Environment and Senior Research Fellow, St Anne's College, University of Oxford, UK, Erling Holden, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Oluf Langhelle, University of Stavanger, Kristin Linnerud and Geoffrey Gilpin, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Norway
'This book is a masterful round up of 30 years of sustainable
development thinking by some of the topic's most renowned and deep
thinkers. The authors expose the progress made in the last 30
years, but also many gaps, flaws and more dangerous trends
accompanying our times. Sustainable development now involves more
forward and critical ideas, such as de-growth, critiques of fossil
capitalism, insistence on equity and redistribution, moving towards
ethics of care and eco-social policies focused on satisfying human
needs within planetary boundaries. This book thus is a timely
summary and renewed introduction to a complex and engaging body of
thought, a path forward for the possibility of global human
progress in troubled times.'
--Julia Steinberger, University of Leeds, UK'The editors have
brought together a distinguished international team of social
scientists from different disciplines to assess the legacy of the
landmark Brundtland report, Our Common Future (1987), along with
the present and future prospects for sustainable development in the
Anthropocene. The world is at a critical ecological juncture. This
book is a must read for anyone seeking to understand how to
accelerate the transition to a more equitable development path that
can safe-guard both local ecosystems and Earth Systems.'
--Robyn Eckersley, University of Melbourne, Australia'Is
sustainable development ''everything'' or ''something''? This
edited volume makes a very important contribution to the discourse
on critically analyzing the content, process and outcomes of
sustainable development politics and policies; a discourse very
different from the United Nations sponsored program for promoting
sustainable development, which has been seriously ''stymied'' and
''diluted'' at the international and national levels of
implementation.'
