Sustainability at Work : Readings, Cases and Policy

In the words of leading ecologist Tim Flannery, we have become the 'future eaters', living beyond the earth's ability to replace the resources we consume. An ecological crisis - i.e. climate change - is slowly building. It is now gaining momentum as we witness the melting of the world's glaciers and a range of related issues including widespread weather volatility, desertification and food shortages. As many now agree, we need a fundamental transformation of how we live and work. The aim of this book is to familiarise students with the theory and practise of sustainability and environmental sustainability at work.
