The Commission on Resources and Environment (CORE) was given the legal responsibility in 1992 to develop a strategy for land use and related resource and environmental management. After two years of public consultation and research, the commission set out in this report and three companion volumes a provincial land use strategy, supported by a Sustainability Act. This report describes sustainability actions in B.C. from 1910 to the present and why a Sustainability Act is needed; the provincial land strategy to date, including current initiatives and public participation; and the development of the Sustainability Act. A glossary is included. Appendices include a provincial land use charter and land use goals.
Cornerstone of Development: Integrating environmental, social and economic policies
Through a wide range of case studies, Mason reveals just how sensitive we all must be to styles of power, vulnerability and resilience in any democratic transition to sustainability. This is a fine book.' Timothy O'Riordan, Professor of Environmental Science, University of East Anglia, and Associate Director, Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment. Civic self-determination and ecological sustainability are widely accepted as two of the most important public goals. This book explains how they can be combined. Using vivid and telling case studies from around the world, it shows how liberal rights can include both ecological and social conditions for collective decision-making - environmentalist goals and social justice can be achieved together. Integrating theory and original case studies, the book makes a very significant contribution to the fundamentals of how environmental democracy can be advanced at all levels. Cogently argued and engaged, Environmental Democracy provides a superb teaching text and a source of ideas and persuasive arguments for the politically and environmentally engaged. It will be essential reading for students, teachers and researchers in politics, policy studies, environmental studies, geography and social science.
