Abstract

Sustainability is a topic of great interest to governments, businesses and individual members of society. There is a general consensus that sustainability is important and therefore, needs to be addressed. There is much less consensus, however, as to what this actually means and how it can be addressed. It appears to mean different things to different people and certainly everyone has their own priorities about what needs to be addressed. Consensus is difficult to find because of the complexity of what is involved in sustainability. This book addresses a number of these complexities by looking at different perspectives from experts from a wide range of different disciplines and from different parts of the world. The aim of the book ,therefore, is to stimulate discussion about what needs to be prioritised, as this forms an essential precursor to taking the necessary actions in order to achieve the essential sustainability for the planet.
