Welcome to the e-Discussion Forum on the Future of Sustainability
hosted by the World Conservation Union (IUCN).
Background Document
The World Conservation Union (IUCN) convened a meeting with a number of prominent writers and activists in Zurich earlier this year. Participants considered humanity’s progress towards sustainability and the global challenges and opportunities of the twenty-first century. The results of their conversation have been captured in a new thought provoking paper by Professor William Adams entitled The Future of Sustainability: Rethinking Environment and Development in the Twenty-First century
