Sustainability

Abstract

Abstract Sustainability: A History is a substantially revised second edition that takes account of climate change policy, climate activism, and the expansion of the sustainability movement since the first addition appeared in 2014. The book provides an accessible and largely jargon-free overview of the origins and development of sustainability from circa 1700 to the present. It is useful both as a teaching aid for courses on history, the human dimensions of climate change, corporate social responsibility, ecological economics, urban planning, and more, and for the general reader interested in understanding the background on the sustainability movement.
