What is the best book you have ever read on sustainability, CSR, governance, and/or sustainable development?
What did you learn from it?
I really like Age of Responsibility by Dr. Visser.
It provides a critique of CSR and sustainability and proposes solutions, mostly theoretical though, for overcoming the global challenges we are facing.
Hi, my favourite is the "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed".
It is a 2005 book by Jared M. Diamond, which reviews the causes of historical and pre-historical instances of societal collapse—particularly those involving significant influences from environmental changes, the effects of climate change, hostile neighbors, and trade partners—and considers the responses different societies have had to such threats.
While the bulk of the book is concerned with the demise of these historical civilizations, this book also argues that humanity collectively faces, on a much larger scale, many of the same issues, with possibly catastrophic near-future consequences to many of the world's populations.
Many thanks for your valuable insight Mike. I'll definitely check them out.
Much appreciate it.
