Pathways to Sustainability: Agendas for a new politics of environment, development and social justice
STEPS Conference 23-24 September 2010
Amidst unprecedented evidence of rapid environmental change and complex ecological dynamics, addressing environmental sustainability has become a central practical, moral and political challenge of our times. With social systems changing rapidly too, linked to population growth, urbanisation, mobility and globalized economic change, core development challenges around alleviating poverty and inequity are also becoming more complex.
In this context, how might pathways to sustainability that link environmental integrity with social justice be conceptualised and built? As the world prepares to unite for the Rio+20 Earth Summit in 2012, what ideas, concepts and agendas can best inform effective action? How can we enrich and (re)invigorate our intellectual and practical repertoires towards a new politics of environment, development and social justice?
