| Summary: | "We see the expression “sustainable development” everywhere these days, but what does it mean? Can we really pursue sustainable economic growth without harming our societies and the environment? And if we pursue prosperity today, are we condemning our children and grandchildren to poverty tomorrow?
The OECD works on many issues related to sustainable development – climate change, growth in developing countries, corporate social responsibility and much more. Using straightforward language and real-world examples, OECD Insights: Sustainable Development draws on that expertise to explore these vital issues.
OECD Insights: Sustainable Development provides an essential introduction to the complex relationships between the economy, society and the environment. As global inequality and climate change become mainstream concerns, it asks the questions our generation needs to ask in terms everyone can understand." |
