Return to the Summit, A

Synopsis: Mounting global problems show us that we face a crisis in international decision making. Cooperation is essential if, for example, global warming is to be curbed and destructive development processes arrested. Can sustainable development really be concerned with meeting human needs, maintaining economic growth and conserving natural capital at one and the same time? Refers to the series of conferences of the United Nations Commission on Environment and Development, including meetings in 1990 in Bergen and New Delhi and the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. Asks at what level might sustainable development most realistically be achieved - local, national, regional, or global. And, more than anything else, is it about local activity?

They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
