Sustainability in the Public Sector is a quick-start guide to the sustainable development challenges facing the public sector, and the political backdrop to this agenda. By the time you've finished this short book you'll know: - the realities of the politics behind the sustainable development agenda, and the most important responses of successive political administrations - the history of the term 'sustainable development' and basic sustainability theory - how sustainable development is addressed in local government -- and the contribution of local governments to the UK's 2050 carbon reduction targets. This is an essential, high-value 90-minute read for a wide variety of public sector stakeholders, such as local authorities, councillors, officers, members of Local Enterprise Partnerships, Local Nature Partnerships, scrutiny panels and other forums.
