Inhaltsangabe

This book introduces an innovative framework for Sustainable Human Development, highlighting how achieving a balance between human wellbeing and planetary boundaries requires moving beyond growth-focused horizons. Leading experts present integrated approaches, mapping a clear path for future transitions.

Chapters explore current and future sustainable and inclusive wellbeing, using the Sustainable Human Development paradigm and integral ecology perspective to identify the pillars, driving actors and triggering factors for sustainable transitions. Critiquing the traditional overreliance on GDP as a policy metric, they propose holistic measurement frameworks that capture a comprehensive view of wellbeing. By exploring frameworks, evidence and policies across Europe and the Global South, the book expands sustainability beyond Eurocentrism and helps foster a consensus across theoretical, technical, policy and public domains to promote sustainable and inclusive wellbeing at all levels.

Navigating Transitions to Sustainable Human Development is a key resource for students and scholars of development studies, sociology, environmental governance and political economy. Policymakers and NGO practitioners will benefit from its actionable recommendations for more human focused development.
