Strategies for Sustainability: Asia

Carew-Reid J.(ed) (1997): Strategies for Sustainability: Asia. IUCN in association with Earthscan Publications, London.

This volume presents experience with strategies for sustainability in six Asian countries: four in South Asia and two in Southeast Asia.

The case studies include a diverse range of approaches to development and implementation: strategies led by technical consultants; those produced solely by government; and more participatory processes are discussed. Most follow the linear model, with the production of a strategy document followed by its implementation. There are, however, a number of important innovations which have emerged, such as the Environmental Core Group developed in Nepal and the Journalist Resource Centre for the Environment in Pakistan.
