Creating a Greener, Sustainable Planet

"Sustainable development is now a cornerstone of government policy and a key focus in corporate boardrooms worldwide. This book, 'Creating a Greener, Sustainable Planet,' offers a comprehensive analysis of the principles and practices of sustainable development, urging us to think radically about sustainability in the new millennium.

We delve into the origins of sustainable development and its evolution over the past decades. We cover mainstream ideas such as ecological modernization, market environmentalism, and environmental economics, as well as alternative perspectives like ecosocialism, ecofeminism, and deep ecology.

Our book addresses critical issues such as environmental degradation, the impact of development, and political ecology, applying these concepts to real-world scenarios like deforestation, conservation, and pollution. We also explore development project planning, environmental assessment, and strategies for building sustainability from both top-down and bottom-up approaches.

'Creating a Greener, Sustainable Planet' synthesizes theoretical ideas and practical policy development, drawing insights from Africa and Asia. With additional reading materials, chapter outlines, and summaries, this book serves as an essential guide for anyone committed to achieving a sustainable future.
