About the Book
With the world increasingly anxious about the sustainability of life as we know it on Earth, it’s a great time to consider how to unlock sustainable development.
Patrick Ssempeera shares a collection of ideas focused on Africa, which is less industrialized than much of the world but quickly catching up. He tackles a variety of topics in eight chapters that encompass attitude, spirituality, shaping people into nurturing adults, government policy, promoting renewability, and fostering healthy and intimate integrations.
Get answers to questions such as:
• What can Africa learn from rampant levels of pollution in China and elsewhere?
• How is love of culture connected to sustainable development?
• What can Africans do to work toward a self-driven future?
• How can spiritual leaders promote a sustainable agenda?
The author also explores how politics, education, optimism, industrialization, and globalization are connected to sustainable development.
Steeped in history, filled with insights, and laced with diagrams, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in sustainable development—particularly in Africa.
