Jeffrey D. Sachs is one of the world's most perceptive and original analysts of global development. In this major new work he presents a compelling and practical framework for how global citizens can use a holistic way forward to address the seemingly intractable worldwide problems of persistent extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and political-economic injustice: sustainable development. Sachs offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Far more than a rhetorical exercise, this book is designed to inform, inspire, and spur action. Based on Sachs's twelve years as director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, his thirteen years advising the United Nations secretary-general on the Millennium Development Goals, and his recent presentation of these ideas in a popular online course, The Age of Sustainable Development is a landmark publication and clarion call for all who care about our planet and global justice.

Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 1,0, Ritsumeikan University (Graduate School of International Relations), course: International Development and Aid, language: English, abstract: One could wonder what to say bad about development and aid or even against sustainable development. Over the past few years, sustainable development has emerged as the latest catchphrase. Non-governmental as well as governmental organizations agree talking about this term, because it is one of those magical fields in which hardly something can go wrong. This attitude lead to a blurring and forgetting of what sustainable development truly is. The purpose of this essay will be to re-elaborate and define the terminus “sustainable” in context to development followed and supported by a historical approach on the pre-Agenda 21 framework. Therefore the results will be clarify by a case-study. Upon these pillars the conclusion will point out how development can be made more sustainable in future or if it has become already more sustainable.

Environmental activists and academics alike are realizing that a sustainable society must be a just one. Environmental degradation is almost always linked to questions of human equality and quality of life. Throughout the world, those segments of the population that have the least political power and are the most marginalized are selectively victimized by environmental crises. This book argues that social and environmental justice within and between nations should be an integral part of the policies and agreements that promote sustainable development. The book addresses the links between environmental quality and human equality and between sustainability and environmental justice.

This joint publication from the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Tourism Organization sets out guidance on effective measures to promote sustainable tourism development. Although it is acknowledged that there is not a 'one size fits all', the report highlights the need for co-operation by all key stakeholders within and outside government. Therefore, although the guidance is designed primarily for governments, it is also relevant to public authorities, non-governmental organisations, tourism businesses and trade associations.
