Taking Action for Sustainable Development: A more comprehensive approach to the economy an attractive future

More than ever before, we are collectively aware of the grave threats that global warming poses to our civilisation. Over the past thirty years, sustainable development has established itself as the solution for reconciling our standard of living with respect for the environment. So why is it that these solutions are struggling to gain a firm foothold in the global economy, and why are environmental indicators continuing to deteriorate? To understand what is at stake and to find ways to take action that will genuinely limit the rise in temperatures, Mathieu Dehaudt explores in this book the mechanisms at work in the interactions between the economy, society and the environment. From this analysis emerge principles for action to reconcile development, social progress and respect for the environment. A must-read for anyone keen to take concrete action towards sustainable development, and in particular for all those who feel discouraged and wonder whether it is still worth getting involved.
