At the beginning of the 21st Millennium, outstanding visionary
thinkers and scientists make a timely assessment as to the future
prospects of mankind: In what direction are we heading? How can the
world become more just & equitable, and how can future
development be sustained to adequately address economic, social,
and - perhaps most important - environmental issues?This book
provides a broad discussion on sustainable development, rethinking
and improving its effectiveness as a paradigm of today and
tomorrow. Communities, states, and transnational corporations must
take steps to transform engrained practices and priorities. If they
fail to do so, sustainable development will remain an abstract
concept or a superficial catchword and will not become reality.
This publication is of special interest for university researchers
and students, international experts & organizations in the
field of Sustainable Development, but also for decision-makers of
enterprises and the public sector worldwide.
