Of Sustainability and Precaution: The Logical, Epistemological, and Moral Problems of the Precautionary Principle and Their Implications for Sustainable Development
Author(s)McKinney, William J.; Hill, H. Hamner
AbstractFrom the convening of the Bruntland Commission in 1983 to the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development and beyond, sustainable development has been on of the core issues facing environmental ethicists and policymakers. The challenge facing both policymakers and ethicists has been to ascertain the proper formulation and implementation of sustainable development practices either within the present global market economy or within a new, more ecological paradigm. This analysis, however, takes a slightly different tack.
