About this book
Contributors analyse a number of dimensions of the Canadian experience in implementing sustainable development and critically assess how the country has done over this twenty year period. They discuss both the breakthroughs and disappointments of the Canadian experience, and look toward the future to discuss what additional steps need to be undertaken domestically if Canada is to once again achieve a position of leadership in the world and get on a truly sustainable trajectory.
