In this volume Australian leaders from a wide range of fields discuss the key issues we must address if we are to move towards a more just and sustainable society. They identify the major concerns and challenges for achieving sustainability, including: Human health; Water resources; Land use and natural ecosystems; Energy, equity and peace; Economic systems; Climate change; Labour forces and work; Transportation and urban design; Population; Achieving sustainability will require major changes in our current approaches.
