| dc.description.abstract | Three hundred years after defi ning sustainable development in forestry
and 25 years after conceptualizing sustainability as a societal guiding vision and
regulative idea, the necessity for further operationalizing and realizing sustainability
is greater than ever. The textbook at hand provides a state-of-the-art overview of
key areas of sustainable development. Like a mosaic, the chapters compose building
blocks, which assemble an encompassing perspective on sustainability science. We
hope to contribute with this textbook to the further establishment of sustainability
science and to enable the next generation of sustainability experts to get a “grip” on
the challenging and exciting “centenary topic” of sustainable development. | en_US |
