Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the multifaceted concept of sustainability, a term that has become central to global discussions among academics, policymakers, business leaders, and communities. Recognizing sustainability as a critical challenge for the future of our planet and its inhabitants, the book examines its three interconnected pillars: economic, environmental, and social. Among these, the social dimension is highlighted as having potentially the most profound impact on how we live and shape our collective future. Through a series



of case studies and analyses, the book investigates actions taken across the globe to address sustainability, emphasizing the diversity of contexts, challenges, and outcomes. It goes beyond simply cataloging efforts, offering a deeper exploration of the conditions under which these initiatives were developed and implemented. The contributors, representing diverse international perspectives, provide valuable insights into local adaptations and global best practices, fostering a rich exchange of ideas and strategies. This book not only captures the current state of sustainability efforts but also reflects on emerging trends and the need for innovative approaches to navigate an ever-changing landscape. By bringing together global expertise, it aims to enrich the sustainability discourse and inspire meaningful progress. It is an essential read for those seeking a nuanced understanding of sustainability and its practical implications across economic systems, environmental stewardship, and societal transformation.
