Encouraging students to engage in the challenges and complexity of
sustainability, this text considers not only the theories
underlying sustainability, but more importantly how theories are
translated into practice and the difficulties of achieving this in
the world in which we live. This pragmatic focus gives students a
greater understanding of the practice of sustainability and
highlights the challenges involved. Models and theories are
illustrated throughout with real world examples to help students
move away from the abstract and connect with genuine issues. The
text begins by focusing on sustainable production and consumption
and how they are related. The role of tools such as modelling and
sustainability indicators are explored, and extended into the
fields of stakeholder participation, livelihoods and evidence-based
policy. The final chapter explores the interconnections between
apparently disparate subjects and the importance of taking an
interdisciplinary perspective.
