In an age of climate and social emergencies, how should we think about the concept of sustainability ? This interdisciplinary book explores this central question, shedding light on often unexpected pathways toward a just and realistic transition.
Is sustainability still meaningful ? This thought-provoking book explores how the once-transformative concept has been stretched, misused, and reimagined across disciplines. From law to ecology, experts reveal the challenges and potential of redefining sustainability for today’s urgent transitions. A concise, critical, and inspiring read for anyone ready to rethink what it means to build a just and lasting future.
