Summary:

Survival for a Small Planet brings together dozens of the leading experts from around the world in a 'post-WSSD' analysis of the prospects for sustainable development on all the major policy fronts including security, finance, urban governance, radical partnerships, migration, health, access to resources and the role of markets. The distinguished group of authors examines the contributions that governments, business and civil society can each make to improve our prospects and they set out the agenda for those working to achieve a sustainable world. This is essential reading and a vital resource for all those involved in researching and implementing sustainability at all levels and in all places.
