Abstract
The purpose of the present volume has been to probe the meaning and import of the concept of sustainable development as first put forth by the Brundtland Commission and later pursued through the UNCED process. In concluding our collection of studies, we wish to first present an overall ‘meta-perspective’ on the concept, and then try to illustrate the implications of our interpretation with reference to climate policy.
