Features: Since the 1980s, the concept of sustainable development has gained global popularity. However, the implementation of sustainable development strategies is a vast systematic project. Conducting sustainable development education at all levels of local government, universities, and basic education, as well as strengthening capacity building for sustainable development, are the solid foundations for implementing sustainable development strategies. This book traces the formation and development of sustainable development theory, systematically and concisely summarizing the formation and development of the concept of sustainable development, its fundamental connotations and principles, theoretical foundations and methods, evaluation systems and implementation pathways. The framework is primarily constructed around concise learning content, case studies, and background materials. Each chapter uses carefully selected cases to help readers understand key points and provides relevant background information. The book is well-structured, rich in content, and well-supported by data. It can serve as a teaching resource for sustainable development in universities and colleges, as well as a reference for researchers in sustainable development, government officials and decision-makers, and faculty and students at universities, research institutions, and secondary schools.
