With the Stockholm+50 Conference, held on 2-3 June 2022, the global movement to protect the environment has reached a 50 year milestone. The first UN Conference on the Human Environment, also held in Stockholm, from 5-16 June 1972, proved to be the watershed in addressing this problem, and as the world assembles once more in the Swedish capital it is time to think aloud and look ahead. In his address in 1972, the then Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme said: "The decisive question is in which direction we will develop ... there is no individual future, neither for people nor for nations." The only other head of government to attend in 1972, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, highlighted the development as "one of the primary means of improving the environment of living, of providing food, water, sanitation and shelter, of making the deserts green and mountains habitable" and drew attention to the wisdom of the Atharva Veda: "What of thee I dig out; Let that quickly grow over; Let me not hit thy vitals or thy heart."As we look back over 50 years, we need to assess what has gone wrong in the trajectory travelled so far and look ahead to the future of our environment at this juncture and beyond. As a scholarly journal for global decision-makers, Environmental Policy and Law has sought to envision what lies ahead in the 21st century by inviting outstanding scholarly works from around the world. The 22 articles which resulted from this invitation are presented in this book, Envisioning Our Environmental Future, which is organised in three parts: Testing Times; Global Ideas; and Sectoral Ideas. The book is a sequel to Our Earth Matters (IOS Press), which was published on 5 June 2021.Bharat H. Desai is Professor of International Law and Jawaharlal Nehru Chair in International Environmental Law at the Centre for International Legal Studies, School of International Studies of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. He is Editor-in-Chief of the global journals Environmental Policy and Law (Amsterdam: IOS Press) and Yearbook of International Environmental Law (Oxford: Oxford University Press). Prof. Desai's ideas and proposals are reflected in his published books and in journals of international repute.

Topics of the papers include landscape planning and management, landscape ecology, landscape impact analysis, guided imagery and local planning, conservation of wildlife habitat, forest management, prairie agriculture, wetlands habitat conservation, and case studies on Canadian landscapes in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Alberta.

This edited collection invites educational practitioners and theorists to speculate on - and craft visions for - the future of environmental and sustainability education. It explores what educational methods and practices might exist on the horizon, waiting for discovery and implementation. A global array of authors imagines alternative futures for the field and attempts to rethink environmental and sustainability education institutionally, intellectually, and pedagogically. These thought leaders chart how emerging modes of critical speculation might function as a means to remap and redesign the future of environmental and sustainability education today. Previous volumes within this United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development series have responded to the complexity of environmental education in our contemporary moment with concepts such as social learning, intergenerational learning, and transformative leadership for sustainable futures. 'Envisioning Futures for Environmental and Sustainability Education' builds on this earlier work - as well as the work of others. It seeks to foster modes of intellectual engagement with ecological futures in the Anthropocene; to develop resilient, adaptable pedagogies as a hedge against future ecological uncertainties; and to spark discussion concerning how futures thinking can generate theoretical and applied innovations within the field.

"Changing an organization means changing the behaviour of its people. And unless those people are enthusiastic no lasting change will take place. Dr Loh sets out a simple four-stage framework for introducing a re-engineering programme. Using examples drawn from a wide range of organizations in many different cultures, he explains what is involved at each stage and shows how to align the aspirations of the individual with the goals and visions of the organization."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This guidebook will change the way you think about environmental issues and the need for a sustainable future!

The categories are environmental issues, toward sustainability and politics and planning. The guide has five purposes: 1) to record and highlight important books and reports on environment and sustainability published in recent years; 2) to provide an illuminating taxonomy that suggests new pathways for action and analysis; 3) to sketch a map of who says what about the most important environmental issues and related policy proposals; 4) to offer guidance for the beginning student; 5) to demonstrate the urgency of environmental issues and the worldwide quest for a sustainable future.
