It is now 20 years since the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development, better known as the Earth Summit was
held in Rio de Janeiro. An important achievement of the conference
was an agreement on the Climate Change Convention which in turn led
to the Kyoto Protocol. Another was agreement to 'not carry out any
activities on the lands of indigenous peoples that would cause
environmental degradation or that would be culturally
inappropriate'. Recently we have seen an updated and revised
conference in Rio where the same issues were again discussed. Since
then ideas about sustainability have changed considerably and to
some extent they have merged with ideas about corporate social
responsibility and about governance, determined by the economic and
political fortunes of the actors involved. It is now time therefore
to re-examine the concept of sustainability in the aftermath of
this conference and to consider what issues are now considered
pertinent around the world. This book therefore takes different
positions concerning different aspects of this vital topic.
