Beskrivning

Using case studies from Africa, South America, Asia and the Caribbean, this book examines the progress made in uniting national aspirations of sustainable development strategies with their local implementation. Comparing the situation on the ground with formal national environmental action plans, the book compares progress, or the lack of progress, between different sectors, cultures, regions and resources throughout the developing world. It examines whether local knowledge and actions are undermining national aspirations or whether they are being ignored at the national level with detrimental consequences to sustainable development. The measurement of sustainable development, the role of formal and informal education in sustainable development and the significance of diverse voices in the practice of sustainable development are considered. The book draws lessons from those cases which appear to be experiencing positive moves towards sustainability and examines whether common frameworks exist which suggest that good practice may be transferable from one milieu to another.

’Drawing on the Agenda 21 and the National Environmental Action Plans debates, this book reveals the discontinuities between national aspirations and local implementation of sustainable development strategies. The book presents a number of case studies to highlight positive lessons for sustainability and good practice, and will be relevant to anyone interested in sustainable development in the developing world.’ Jay Mistry, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK '...a useful resource for teaching sustainable development at undergraduate and postgraduate level. It provides a set of detailed examples illustrating the limitation s of trying to put what we glibly call "sustainable development" into practice.' Geography
