Recenzje

'This book is about the big issue in the transition to sustainability - the linking of equity with sustainability. No longer is it tolerable to focus only on environmental impact. Development must be approached and financed through the triple lens of environmental, social and economic sustainability … The book discusses what this means in practical terms - an expanded role for bodies presently engaged in screening carbon projects, a requirement for a specific human rights impact assessment, review mechanisms, better governance and compliance and complaints committees. Dr Damilola S. Olawuyi has written a clear, well-informed and documented work, in a field which should and does engage all of us ever more.' The Right Hon. The Lord Jonathan Hugh Mance, Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom and Chair, International Law Association
