It is essential reading and a vital source for all those involved in researching and implementing sustainability at all levels and in all placed.' Environment Business 'What we need from global leaders and stakeholders in the years following WSSD is a genuine commitment to the implementation of agreed policies and programmes that can overcome the obstacle of non-delivery since Rio.
