The Nature of Sustainable Development

---

"In recent years, the term 'environmentally sustainable development' has acquired motherhood status. Everyone - governments, the business lobby, environmental groups - is in favour of it. But it seems to mean different things to different people. Is ESD the future we have to have? Is it an oxymoron? Or is it, perhaps, a trojan horse - a green light for developers?

For the first time, here is a clear, compre- hensive text which unpicks and analyses the main issues and problems embedded in the notion of ESD. The book carefully examines the way ESD is used, the concepts it straddles, and whether it can or will protect the environ- ment.

Key issues dealt with in depth include the relationship between the economy and the environment, the techniques of environmental valuation and pricing, the costs and benefits of regulation, local and global equity implica- tions, the uses and limitations of technological solutions, and the roles of businesses, govern- ments and consumers.

The text is divided into five main sections, with a case study at the end of each section dealing respectively with mining, biological diversity, industrial waste in the ocean in NSW, the greenhouse effect, and the car."
