Governing for Sustainability

Governmental leadership on sustainability has often fallen short, with grassroots movements emerging as the primary drivers of change. This volume in the Worldwatch Institute's State of the World series explores the role of local, women's, and community initiatives in addressing climate issues, species loss, and social inequity. It discusses barriers to effective governance while presenting innovative ideas such as benefit corporations and energy democracy. Emphasizing the importance of informed citizens, the book offers an optimistic perspective on achieving sustainable governance and inspiring broader societal change.
