Inhaltsangabe

This is the first text on UK sustainable development law. The book is divided into three parts. Part one begins with an examination of the emergence of sustainable development as a policy objective throughout the world and in the UK. Part two uses a reworked version of the criteria developed by the OECD to critically review the UK's progress over the past twenty years towards a sustainable UK. Part three of the book reports that the UK approach to date has only made very limited and piecemeal progress towards real sustainable development due to the inherent inconsistency of interpretations of sustainable development based on weak sustainability as well as inconsistencies as to the role of sustainable development in decision making. The book argues that with ecological sustainability at its normative core, sustainable development could provide an effective framework for decision making and governance as it would have working within the Earth's limits as its starting point.
