Sustainable development is not a pipe dream. It is the destination the world’s accumulated knowledge points us towards, the fair future that will enable us to live with security, peace and opportunities for all. To get there we must transform the ways we manage, share and interact with the environment, and acknowledge that humanity is part of nature not apart from it.
- Camilla Toulmin, director of the International Institute for Environment and Development
