Description

Anne-Marie Sacquet (ed). The concept of “sustainable development (SD)” was first introduced at the time of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, when over 170 heads of state signed a plan of action for the 21st century -- Agenda 21, which sets out a proposal for SD that combines several goals: preservation of the environment, social equity & economic efficiency. How has Agenda 21 been implemented? What commitments have been made by gov’ts., bus. & local populations? Here is a “reading” of the global situation, supported by socio-econ., geopolitical & environmental data. Topics incl. access to educ., the gulf between living standards in the North & the South, women’s civil rights, climate change & international solidarity are presented along with 30 info. sheets & 40 maps.
