Can we grow our world economy and create opportunities for the poor while keeping the planet intact? Can we maintain our vibrant, dynamic lifestyles while ensuring the Earth stays productive and viable? Aimed at managers, students, scholars, and policymakers, Sustainability Management answers these questions in the affirmative, arguing it is possible for environmentally sustainable business practices and policies to foster economic and long-term growth.

Written by a former analyst and consultant with the EPA, this book originally combines sustainable efforts in water, agriculture, urban, and power management to achievein practice, not just in theorya sustainable planet and economy. Steven Cohen begins with the technical, financial, managerial, and political challenges of such a project, and then honestly assesses sustainable practices in the manufacturing and service industries. He addresses renewable and carbon-free energy production; water sustainability, especially with regard to energy issues involving filtration, distribution, and changing rainfall patterns; food cultivation and distribution; and ways to maintain the interdependent systems on which we depend to live. Taking examples from New York City, one of the most sustainable and sustainability-minded metropolises in the world, Cohen explains how everything from construction to waste management can be designed to facilitate a sustainable environment, not just for New York but also for the world. He concludes with this macroscopic view, outlining the global efforts necessary to preserve biodiversity and ecosystems, and the impact of war, terrorism, and human conflict on sustainability.

This book is a great learning tool. Many people are unaware of the true meaning of sustainability; however this book exposes sustainability and all of its factors. I appreciate the knowledge Cohen shares, and I'm excited to apply these principles to my career and everydaylife.

good read!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2011

This is a good book to introduce a reader to the concepts of sustainability - it provides a comprehensive overview of all the big topics without getting into too much technical detail. You don't have to be an environmental engineer or LEED certified to understand what he is talking about. It's a quick read that will pique your interest in this field if you aren't already familiar with sustainability.

Highly recommended.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 27, 2016

This is the text for a whole new way of thinking about society and for a new academic discipline. Steven Cohen is the pioneer of sustainability management studies and he has been a key figure in getting environmental concerns onto both public and corporate agendas. In many ways, this is the foundational work of Sustainability Management idea. Highly recommended.

Realistic View of Sustainability

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2011

Businesses and policymakers face challenges when attempting to incorporate sustainability into their operations. This book provides an opportunity to learn how they can do it. Cohen provides examples of companies that were able to overcome those challenges. Integrating sustainability practices takes time, resources and strong commitment from business managers - but can have real, financial results. This presents a realistic view of sustainability.
