| Sustainable Development for, and from, the future  The fundamental question being considered by governments and stakeholders around the world is ´What should the world look like in 2030?´ The details of the visions differ between countries, constituencies and communities, but for many there is a common aspiration to end extreme poverty through sustainable development. If we are to achieve this universal aim we must consider how today´s best practice policies and strategies can be deployed in tandem with an ambitious post-2015 development framework. By bringing together current government structures and policy instruments, the 2030 Sustaineo future scenario tells a compelling story of what is possible with tools and knowledge we already have available. Farooq Ullah, Executive Director, Stakeholder Forum | In the year 2030, one country has translated today’s better-governance efforts into a successful political and administrative system. Together with the Bertelsmann Stiftung, the International Institute for Sustainable Development and Novel Futures, we invite you to time travel to that time and place and learn from its success in our new publication, “Sustaineo 2030: Today’s sustainable development visions, realised tomorrow. | ||
| Stakeholder Forum, along with 16 other global partners, has produced an analysis of stakeholder proposals for goals and targets in the e-Inventory, under the SDG Open Working Group’s (OWG) focus areas. It is hoped that this synthesis will be a useful resource for the OWG and other stakeholders to develop their goals and targets for Post-2015. | |||
These ‘living documents’ set out the UN Major Groups’ visions and priorities - including themes, goals, targets and indicators – for the SDGs and the post-2015 development agenda. They will be used as advocacy and reference tools throughout 2014, to be updated based on the Major Groups’ work, intergovernmental negotiations, and SD2015 activities. Supported by SD2015. | |||

Cheaponomics
The High Cost of Low Prices
By Michael Carolan
The real cost of low prices is alarmingly high. In this compelling book, Michael Carolan shows that costs and risks are socialised: we all pay for cheapness, but not at the point of purchase. Drawing on a wide range of examples and issues, it is convincingly shown that cheapness can no longer be seen as such a bargain. Instead we need to refocus for a better sense of well-being, social justice and a balanced approach to prosperity.

Ethical Trade, Gender and Sustainable Livelihoods
Women Smallholders and Ethicality in Kenya
By Kiah Smith
Through an in-depth case study of smallholder subsistence and French bean farming in Kenya, this book grounds the analysis of livelihoods, gender and ethical trade in women smallholders’ perspectives, links the macro level of markets with the micro level of livelihoods, and engenders relations of power, structure and agency in food networks.

Critiquing Sustainability, Changing Philosophy
By Jenneth Parker
To increasing numbers of people, sustainability is the key challenge of the twenty-first century. In the many fields where it is a goal, persistent problems obstruct the efforts of those trying to make a difference. The task of this book is to identify the philosophical failings underlying these problems, on the basis that the ways in which we conceptualise sustainability may contribute to, or alternately undermine vital projects.

Social Practices, Interventions and Sustainability
Beyond Behaviour Change
Edited by Yolande Strengers, Cecily Maller
This book extends and enriches the possibilities for social practice theories to inform sustainability programs and policies seeking to achieve social change. More specially, it documents how social practice theories could be used to inform relevant methods and strategies for intervention. In doing so it differs from existing work because it directly tackles a key criticism directed at social practice theorists that to date has remained largely unchallenged.

Wellbeing, Justice and Development Ethics
By Severine Deneulin
This book introduces in an accessible way the capability approach, first articulated by Amartya Sen in the early 1980s. Written for an international audience, but rooted in the Latin American reality - a region with a history of movements for social justice - the book argues that the capability approach provides to date, the most encompassing and compelling ethical framework with which to construct action for improving people’s wellbeing and reducing injustices in the world.
