Now gaining momentum on the world stage, sustainable development is beginning to significantly redefine the policies and decision making of both corporations and governmental entities. Sustainability development initiatives can vary widely in scope and application, as well as success. This book is intended to clarify critical issues, proven approaches and potential pitfalls associated with such initiatives, covering underlying concepts, renewable energy solutions, environmental issues, green design and LEED programs, sustainable industrial processes, sustainable development policy considerations, local government programs, corporate programs, tracking results, and future trends."--BOOK JACKET.
