Synopsis

Environment and Development: Views on Sustainability explores the intricate and dynamic relationship between human progress and environmental preservation, offering insight into the challenges and opportunities on the path toward a sustainable future. It emphasizes that environment and development are deeply interconnected-two facets of the same reality-where sustainability must be addressed in a holistic and integrated manner.

This book presents a comprehensive analysis, enriched with relevant case studies, to examine the often-competing demands of economic growth and ecological conservation. It offers in-depth discussions on sustainable development practices that incorporate social, economic, and environmental perspectives, with a strong focus on both local and global contexts. Critical issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, natural resource depletion, and the need for forward-thinking policies are addressed, providing a robust framework for understanding sustainability challenges in the modern world.

By blending theoretical perspectives with practical solutions, the book aims to inform and inspire a diverse readership-including policymakers, researchers, academics, and socially conscious individuals-committed to building a more sustainable and just world.
