2020 - Vision for a Sustainable Society

2020 - Vision for a Sustainable Society

A book from the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute (MSSI)

Bringing together leaders from academia, business and government, this book focuses on practical steps that can steer Australia towards sustainability. In suggesting twenty actions by 2020, it provides a map to a more sustainable future − in a society that is healthier and happier but not radically different to what we enjoy today. This book aims to provide Australians with answers to the burning question of the 21st century: ‘Where to from here?’
