Creating 21st century abundance through public policy innovation: moving beyond business as usual (1st)

One of the greatest challenges of the 21st Century is the problem of how the public and private sectors can sustain economic development, business growth, social well-being and ecosystem health in the face of accelerating demand for water, energy, and food. 'Business as usual' projections of scarcity in water, energy, and food predict a lack of these resources sufficient to sustain economic and business growth as well as an adequate standard of living worldwide.

Developments in technology are well documented, but this book explains the role of innovation in public policy and governance, a topic which is frequently overlooked and often frustrates developments in technology and business.

It showcases these innovations and creates a roadmap of what needs to change to drive economic development, business growth, social wellbeing and ecosystem health in the 21st century.
