Understanding Sustainable Development

Description

A truly comprehensive introduction to the topic, Understanding Sustainable Development is designed to give students on a wide range of courses an appreciation of the key concepts and theories of sustainable development. Fully updated, the third edition includes detailed coverage of the Sustainable Development Goals and their impact on global development. Major challenges and topics are explored through a range of international case studies and media examples which maintain the ‘global to local’ structure of the previous edition. With an extensive website and pedagogy, Understanding Sustainable Development is the most complete guide to the subject for course leaders, undergraduates and postgraduates. Review: This book is an ideal introduction to Sustainable Development. ... - This book is an ideal introduction to Sustainable Development. Perspectives are wide ranging, topics are covered in-depth and address recent progress in this field including the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. It also makes an effort to critique knowledge, how it is communicated and used as well as the mobilisation of people. Development is an enormous subject and as such this book does not and cannot handle every aspect of it, nor consistently so, for example: Zero Hunger.
