Much of the debate on green growth and environmental governance
tends to be general in nature and is often conceptual or limited to
single disciplines. Even though recent discussions on these topics
have benefited from the accumulation of empirical and theoretical
knowledge over the last few decades, these discussions have not
produced the kind of conceptual novelty and tools necessary to
place the notion of a green economy within mainstream political,
social, and economic agendas. Furthermore, discussions on
governance remain mostly in the international sphere with only
tenuous talk on governance at the national and subnational levels
--the levels at which implementation is key.
"Green Economy and Good Governance for Sustainable Development"
takes stock of the achievements and obstacles toward sustainability
over the last twenty years, and it proposes new ideas and changes
to create a more sustainable future. The contributors present the
gap that can emerge between intentions and results when green
initiatives are put into practice and highlight the lack of
discussion on important topics such as equity. The book includes
in-depth discussion on and analysis of specific issues such as
oceans, cities, and biodiversity in order to bring forth solutions
that are politically legitimate, socially acceptable, and
economically viable.
