Forty years after the United Nations Conference on the Human
Environment in Stockholm, the goal of sustainable development
continues via the Rio+20 conference in 2012. This book will enable
a broad readership to understand what has been achieved in the past
forty years and what hasn't. It shows the continuing threat of our
present way of living to the planet. It looks to the challenges
that we face twenty years from the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development, "The Earth Summit," in Rio, in
particular in the areas of economics and governance and the role of
stakeholders. It puts forward a set of recommendations that the
international community must address now and in the the future. It
reminds us of the planetary boundaries we must all live within and
and what needs to be addressed in the next twenty years for
democracy, equity and fairness to survive. Finally it proposes
through the survival agenda a bare minimum of what needs to be
done, arguing for a series of absolute minimum policy changes we
need to move forward.
An unofficial report commissioned by the Secretary-General of the
United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. Prepared with
the assistance of a 152-member committee of corresponding
consultants in 58 countries."[A] profoundly ethical, value-oriented
study . . . [points] to areas of concern for economists and
political scientists, philosophers and theologians." -P.J. Henriot,
America
