Reading About Sustainable Development

Since the Earth Summit, there has been a deluge of information about sustainable development. It is often difficult to select useful and pertinent reading, including materials on issues related to women. Many contributors to this Resource Guide have recommended favourite authors and writings which have inspired their commitment to S.D. Publications of the contributors have also been listed, organized according to the special interests of the authors:

• Business, Unions, Consulting
• Community Development and Planning
• Ecology, Environment, Resources
• Education, Public Awareness and Communication, A-G
• Education, Public Awareness and Communication, H-Z
• Health
• Law and Policy
• Peace and Security
• Research (Science, Social Science)
• Strengthening Groups (Youth, Women, First Nations and/or the Church)

  If you want to look further afield, we have provided a selection of electronic and print resources from the Sourcebase on Sustainable Development -- IISD's database on key sources of SD information. Relevant sources can also be found in Theodora Carroll-Foster's review of Chapter 24 of Agenda 21.
