Institutionalising sustainable development: [this report contains the proceedings of a workshop on Institutionalising Sustainable Development held in Stockholm, Sweden on 31 August - 1 September 2006]

Achieving sustainable development depends on good governance practices, particularly the effective implementation of national sustainable development strategies which integrate government decision-making in the economic, environmental and social spheres. This volume contains recommendations for the true "institutionalisation" of sustainable development. Institutionalisation will embed the concept in government operations for the long-term and will reduce the vulnerability of sustainable development aims to shorter-term political objectives
