STP109: Approaches to Sustainable Development

This unit examines the evolution of sustainability over the past 40 years from early origins to the Brundtland Report to the Stern Report. In addition, the unit looks at the wide range of approaches to sustainability today including: environmental scepticism; mainstream market based and technocratic approaches; and community based approaches. The unit will also reflect on what are the most effective responses to the sustainability challenge including global intergovernmental responses, the role of business, and more sustainable personal practices.
