Book Announcement – Governance for Sustainability: Issues, Challenges and Successes

January 1st, 2009

Co-authored by CHN Senior Fellow Ron Engel, Governance for Sustainability – Issues, Challenges and Successes is the latest addition to the IUCN Environment Policy and Law Series. This book makes an important contribution to the on-going discussions on environmental governance, in particular by providing a thoughtful consideration of concepts that are critical to our understanding of how citizens in diverse societies are creatively using the law to advance the protection and restoration for ecological integrity and social justice. A range of case studies are presented, which share experiences of people and communities as they address environmental issues and demonstrate a number of different governance models. It invites all of us engaged in environmental issues to begin a renewed dialogue on the issue of governance for sustainability in order to seek real solutions on the ground (see http://www.iucn.org). CHN colleague Kathryn Kintzele contributed the Recommended Readings for the book.
