The world is faced with challenges in all three dimensions of sustainable development-economic, social and environmental. More than 1 billion people are still living in extreme poverty, and income inequality within and among many countries has been rising, at the same time, unsustainable consumption and production patterns have resulted in huge economic and social costs and may endanger life on the planet. Achieving sustainable development will require global actions to deliver on the legitimate aspiration towards further economic and social progress, requiring growth and employment, and at the same time strengthening environmental protection. Sustainable development will need to be inclusive and take special care of the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable. Strategies need to be ambitious, action-oriented and collaborative, and to adapt to different levels of development. They will need to systemically change consumption and production patterns, and might entail, inter alia, significant price corrections, encourage the preservation of natural endowments, reduce inequality, and strengthen economic governance. The practical implementation of sustainable development concepts and the necessity of facing the challenges of the 21st century require a new paradigm for global, regional and local development. This well-written and accessible textbook provides students with an up-to-date comprehensive guide to sustainable development.

Index. With the increasing population demand for basic needs has been steeply rising during the past five decades in most of the developing countries. The growing populations need food clothing shelter fuel and fodder for their livestock. In India, over 60-70% of the people are living in rural areas that neither have adequate land holdings nor alternate service opportunities to produce or procure these commodities. In the absence of adequate employment opportunities the rural people are unable to generate enough wages to sustain their livelihood. The rise of emerging economies represents a challenge to traditional global power balances and raises the question of how we can combine sustainability with continued economic growth. This book is an important intervention in the debate between economic and social development. It makes the case for understanding development in economic terms as well as in terms of well-being, empowerment and participation. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers and postgraduates in development studies, geography, economics and environmental studies.

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. An industry may get away with unacceptable levels or air and water pollution because the people who bear the brunt of it are poor and unable to complain effectively. A forest may be destroyed by excessive felling because the people living there have no alternatives or because timber contractors generally have more influence then forest dwellers. The integration of economic and ecological factors into the law and into decision making systems within countries has to be matched at the international level. This important book is an effort to explore different interpretations of sustainable development in both theory and practice, in developed and developing countries, and in rural and urban areas. This provocative work offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to achieve sustainable development goals.
