who decides what counts as sustianble?

How do we know if a new waste management policy or an initiative to encourage walking and cycling yield ‘sustainable outcomes’?

What time frame is need to assess the results of a policy that claims to enhance sustainability?

Who are the ‘winners’ and who are the ‘losers’ of sustainability initiatives and policies, both now and in the future.

Governing Sustainability.

United Kingdom:

Cambridge University

Press. 2009

This book starts from the belief that the crisis of

unsustainability is, first and foremost, a crisis of

governance. Governance, however is a multidimensional

and highly contested term within academia. If we zoom

out and explore what is or not being done actually to

govern societies in ways that facilitate rather than

undermine sustainability it is abundantly clear that the

governance of sustainable development is likely to be

hugely complicated and politically contested

undertaking.

Thiele, Leslie Paul (2013) sustainability: key concepts.

United Kingdom: Polity Press.

Sustainability has traditionally been described as

standing on the three pillars of society, ecology and

economy or alternatively as grounded on the “triple

bottom line of people, planet and profit… by insisting on

cultural creativity as a fourth component of

sustainability, we underline the fact that our practices,

relationships and institutions have to initiate and

respond to change if they are to endure for long.

Sustainability demands imagination and innovation.
