Description
The 1992 environmental summit conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil emphasized the threat continued economic growth poses to life support environmental systems and natural resource bases. Since then the rallying cry for nations has become sustainable development. Muschett and the contributing authors clearly and concisely address the critical questions: What is sustainable development? How can we achieve it? What are the implications for developing economies and managing the environment? How do we measure progress in sustainable development?
