As the ramifications of the RIO+20 Earth summit are considered, Gower Publishing has officially launched a new book that explores the issue of global sustainability and the surmountable challenges facing this generation in achieving it worldwide.
The book, Plan for the Planet – A Business Plan for a Sustainable World, is targeted at politicians, business managers, students and community members who possess the desire to address the increasing global challenges this generation is faced with.
Structured in five parts, the book is based on key best practice management principles, and highlights the need for more intelligent, faster, and collaborative action by government, businesses, communities and individuals in order to “avert the potential devastating impacts on this planet” from threats to global sustainability.
In doing so, Plan for the Planet presents a coordinated approach to dealing with the current global challenges that can be carried out at every level.
“The world struggles with increasing threats to global sustainability, caused by population growth, overuse of fresh water resources, depletion of biodiversity, and reliance on non-renewable energy sources”, stated Gower Publishing.
“The challenge for our generation is to use our vast capabilities to our best advantage and collaboratively build the sustainable future that, despite what some will have us believe, we have the capacity to achieve”, added the publisher.
Authored by Ian Chambers and the late John Humble, Plan for the Planet provides practical examples of the methods being undertaken by businesses and individuals in their embracing of the global sustainability agenda.
“Using proven business management wisdom and principles, this book provides perhaps the most comprehensive and robust framework within which business, government and the community can work together to build a sustainable world”, stated Gower Publishing.
“Whether you want to understand how to prepare your organisation and yourself to deal successfully with the global challenges, or seize the opportunities which are fast developing with the emergence of the sustainability revolution, you will benefit from reading this timely book”, concluded Gower Publishing.
Plan for the Planet – A Business Plan for a Sustainable World is available for purchase through Gower Publishing (http://www.gowerpublishing.com), Amazon (http://www.amazon.com) and at all leading bookstores.

A great book that I rate as essential reading. Ian Chambers was kind enough to be special guest speaker at the recent Society for Responsible Design (SRD) AGM.
Ian has a fascinating story that involves everyone, a powerful message and ideas for how we may make positive change happen as soon as possible. The audience was so impressed that most of them bought the book!
