Impending changes in population, climate, and energy resources are the issues that all program managers have to plan for. This book provides an excellent discussion of these issues in a format that makes it easy to understand and apply to long range planning. It explains how to plan for sustainability in terms of constraints, and uses an overlay approach to capture the many dimensions of sustainability planning. Covering global trends that will affect all countries, the book outlines options that can help us move toward a more sustainable future.
