But what is it, really? Are development agencies truly committed to long-term sustainable solutions to development issues? Are we learning from our past successes and failures? This book takes an historical perspective on these questions. The analysis begins with the Atlantic Charter, the creation of the United Nations, its family of agencies, and the international development banks. It reviews recommendations from international commissions and conferences, from World bank and UNDP development reports. It comments on governmental policies, human and industrial actions detrimental to the planet's environment and natural resources. It studies the patterns by which biotechnologies essential to human survival and health have progressed over the past 8,000 years, and the consequences of uncontrolled urban growth on food and health security. 606 $aSustainable development 615 0$aSustainable development. 676 $a338.924 700 $aHulse$b Joseph H.$0593009 712 02$aInternational Development Research Centre (Canada) 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784196503321 996 $aSustainable development at risk$93751162 997 $aUNINA
