Synopsis
This text traces the evolution of sustainable development and climate change from the time it emerged in international consultations and agreements. The three sections of the book, focusing on the framework, climate change and sustainable development, seek to cover the essentials of the politics of natural resource usage at the global level. The book explores the evolution of sustainable development and climate change within the framework of the United Nations, and the way the concept has been defined through intergovernmental meetings, agreements and consensus within the multilateral system. It also explores the best ways of reducing the risk to the planet while enabling societies to pursue sustainable development paths. The challenges call for a transformation of social systems to facilitate a broadly acceptable change. The book also explores the adoption of low-carbon models different from the high-carbon socio-technical systems and related social practices., The book underlines the need to rethink and reframe the issue of sustainability, with emphasis on the use and distribution of natural resources. It addresses the institutional, political and conceptual dimensions in seeking a better understanding of international cooperation in the global environment.

Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
