Two decades after the Brundtland Commission's Report 'Our Common Future' adopted the concept of 'sustainable development', this book explores the potential for new practices for those involved in sustainability activity. Themes addressed include the provision of a 'next generation perspective', and the provision of new milestones for policy and research. The material covered here offers varied perspectives on sustainability, and reflects the importance of interdisciplinary work in the field.
