The Science of Sustainable Development: Local Livelihoods and the Global Environment

By Jeffrey Sayer, Bruce Campbell, Jeffrey A. Sayer

Book Overview

Science faces major challenges in tackling the interlinked problems of poverty and environmental sustainability. This book calls for a restructuring of our present arrangements to achieve integrated natural resource management--integration across scales, system components, disciplines and knowledge types. It advocates the necessity of modelling, multi-scale analysis and action research, institutional and organizational development, and communication enhancement. The book draws on case studies throughout the world.
