A Fresh Start for Sustainable Development
Having survived the financial crisis of 2008, sustainable development is now negotiating what author Alan AtKisson calls the ‘tectonic plates of world order’. Sustainable development, he argues, has become mainstream as a result of the Earth Summit and additional grassroots actions of the 1990s. To advance a sustainable future, he indicates the necessity of a global reset for sustainable development. Such a reset should reassert its more radical role for non-negotiable rights of people and planet – its primary position with regards to, rather than instead of, green economy or green growth.
