Description

Jeffrey D. Sachs is without doubt one of the world’s most perceptive and original analysts of global development. On this major new work he presents a compelling and practical framework for how global citizens can use a holistic way forward to address the seemingly intractable around the globe problems of persistent extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and political-economic injustice: sustainable development.

Sachs offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they want to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Excess of a rhetorical exercise, this book is designed to tell, inspire, and spur action. In accordance with Sachs’s twelve years as director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, his thirteen years advising the United Nations secretary-general at the Millennium Development Goals, and his contemporary presentation of these ideas in a well-liked online course, The Age of Sustainable Development is a landmark publication and clarion call for all who care about our planet and global justice.
