ReviewsA thoughtful and comprehensive text on perhaps the most important global subject of the 21st century, Implementing Sustainable Development is a welcome addition to the sustainability conversation. The scope of the authors' approach offers a practical and accessible avenue for readers to consider the challenges--and possibilities--of achieving sustainable development., In Implementing Sustainable Development, Vargas and Cooper provide a rare glimpse at real-life case examples from around the world that elucidate the complexities and the global-to-local interconnectedness of creating a more sustainable planet. This book expertly examines the history of sustainable development by linking the scales of impact from the international level at the UN to local cities around the world through field work with key stakeholders. Significantly, Vargas and Cooper give a voice to the voiceless and marginalized, hence demonstrating the need for all to be engaged in creating a more sustainable world. Weaving sustainable development through various disciplines from policy, finance, and international relations, the authors underline collaboration and interdisciplinarity as key drivers of sustainable development. This book is as useful in a classroom as it would be for a workshop among decision makers in the public and private realms. It is a hopeful, empirically-rich portrayal of a more balanced approach toward a sustainable future.cally-rich portrayal of a more balanced approach toward a sustainable future.cally-rich portrayal of a more balanced approach toward a sustainable future.cally-rich portrayal of a more balanced approach toward a sustainable future., "A thoughtful and comprehensive text on perhaps the most important global subject of the 21st century, Implementing Sustainable Development is a welcome addition to the sustainability conversation.

SynopsisDespite all the talk of sustainability, there has not been enough action to halt or reverse the impacts of climate change. Decades after the Rio Earth Summit and despite the many policies and commitments to move toward sustainable development, there continues to be a serious implementation gap. Implementing Sustainable Development focuses on the challenges of turning international commitments and policy promises into local action. Through global examples and cases, the authors examine not only the core principles, but also successful and failed efforts to address the social, environmental, and economic dimensions of sustainable development. They systematically guide readers through the technical, legal, economic, administrative, political, ethical, and cultural feasibility of putting sustainable development solutions in place. Based on broad research, Claudia María Vargas and Phillip J. Cooper offer a practical and useful approach to identifying and addressing policy implementation challenges--what works, what doesn't, and why. Features of this thoroughly revised second edition include: Dozens of case studies from the throughout the worldAn overview of the UN Sustainable Development GoalsAction-oriented solutions to the challenges of sustainable developmentCareful consideration of local and indigenous knowledgeKey issues of equity, equality, and the importance of community involvement, Despite all the talk of sustainability, there has not been enough action to halt or reverse the impacts of climate change.
