Contents:
Foreword -- At the Crossroads -- What is Sustainable Development? -- Challenges of a Global World -- The Future Is Now -- Production and Consumption -- Measuring Sustainability -- Government and Civil Society -- References.
Summary: This book takes a careful look at the concept sustainable development: what it means; how it is affected by production, consumption and globalisation; how it can be measured, and what can be done to promote it. The OECD produces data, research and policy recommendations on many issues related to sustainable development, including climate change, co-operation with developing countries and corporate social responsibility. OECD Insights: Sustainable Development draws on that expertise. It argues that to be sustainable, development has to be based on progress in three areas at once: the economy, society and the environment.
