Inhaltsangabe

This volume provides a comprehensive, rigorous and practical analysis that assesses sustainable development prospects by applying the innovative sustainomics framework. The main message of the book is optimistic while the problems are serious, an effective response can be mounted to make development more sustainable, provided it is initiated immediately. Sustainomics shows us the first practical steps in making the transition from the risky business as-usual scenario to a safe and sustainable future. Mohan Munasinghe explains the key principles underlying sustainomics clearly, concisely and relatively free of technical jargon, while mathematical and other details are provided in annexes. The book also illustrates the methodology with empirical case studies that are practical and policy-relevant over a wide range of time scales, countries, sectors, ecosystems and circumstances. The extensive bibliography will be useful to those who wish to further research specific topics. The book will appeal to a wide audience, including students, researchers from many disciplines, lecturers, policy analysts and public and private decision makers, as well as development practitioners, concerned citizens and stakeholders.
