Publisher's Synopsis
Much of the debate on green growth and environmental governance tends to be general in nature, and is often conceptual or limited to single disciplines - such as green growth being dominated by economists and governance by political scientists. This book examines such terms within the context of wide-interest topics including education, oceans and cities, and mixes conceptual discussion with empirical research. It takes stock of the achievements and obstacles towards sustainability over the last 20 years, and proposes new ideas and changes to create a more sustainable future. Students, academics and professionals interested in the notion of using a green economy and good governance-achieve sustainable development and poverty eradication are recommended to read this book.
