The pursuit of sustainability has generated lifestyle changes for individuals across the globe, widespread initiatives within civil society and business, historic policies for municipal, regional, and national governments, and crucial protocols and agreements by international organizations. In this book, the author argues that sustainability requires innovation and adaptation as much as the conservation of resources.
