This completely revised fourth edition of Fundamentals of Sustainable Development provides an accessible and interdisciplinary introduction to sustainable development for undergraduate and postgraduate students across the natural and social sciences, and beyond. It is designed to easily align with structured modules to enable students to work through topics one by one.

Building on the previous edition’s user-friendly and comprehensive overview, this edition offers a macro and micro perspective on the challenges of sustainable, holistic development, looking at the impacts on global society in addition to people, planet and profit. It discusses in detail the benefits and limitations of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, linking these to new case studies throughout to provide a broad, international lens and highlighting regionally specific environmental issues, ecological approaches, indigenous perspectives and successful development strategies. The increasing risks of zoonoses and pandemics and their impact on sustainable development are discussed, as human activities within nature rise as a result of climate change. Timely topics on sustainable business are introduced across the book, including carbon footprints, ecolabels, greenwashing, measuring and reporting, degrowth, and personal and professional action points. The book also taps into timely philosophical discussions relating to the Anthropocene, such as climate anxiety, emotional connection to nature and more-than-human debates.

For instructors and students, new and revised supplemental resources can be accessed via the book’s website, including PowerPoints, lab-based exercises such as spreadsheet modelling, debate assignments and research tasks. This is the must-have resource for students and lecturers in all disciplines who have an interest in the sustainability of our planet, our human society and global economy.

Recenzijas

"Based on case studies and presented with different examples and colour images, this is a fascinating and wellwritten book. After reading, I felt that I learned a lot from it."

Praise from previous editions

"There is an ever increasingly large number of books on the market dealing with sustainable development, so any new book has to offer something new. Fundamentals of Sustainable Development by Niko Roorda offers just that in a very innovative way. The book really is interdisciplinary, and while challenging in places is truly accessible to readers of all backgrounds. The presentation of the book is excellent, and the format makes this a very attractive paperback. This is a colourful and intriguing textbook which I highly recommend. It is the sort of book you wish you had written yourself, but Niko Roorda has done just that and in the process added a remarkable edition to the sustainability library."

Professor Nick Gray, Trinity College

"The particular strength of Fundamentals of Sustainable Development lies in bringing together issues of equity (among people) arising from insufficient recognition of ecology (around the planet) in the economy of growth (as irresponsible profits). We strongly recommend careful reading not just by federal and provincial bureaucrats and legislatures but also by organisations of employers and labour."

Dr A. Ercelan and Muhammad Ali Shah, The News on Sunday
