Building Global Resilience in the Aftermath of Sustainable Development: Planet, People and Politics (1st ed. 2018 edition.)

This text explains why the concept of sustainable development needs to be consigned to history.

Using examples from around the world, Richard Pagett illustrates how so-called sustainable development has simply been a cul-de-sac, condemning millions to continuing extreme poverty.

It highlights the futility of current governance systems in meeting modern day global challenges.

It also explains the changes that are necessary for a more just and equitable economic societal model, with planetary limits at its core, to further the resilience of communities and society at large.
