Extract from Editorial, Guy Robinson
With plans for the Johannesburg Summit at an advanced stage, this
provides an excellent opportunity to examine some of the key issues
relating to the evolving geography of sustainable development. The
various inequalities that will be addressed by the Summit are inherently
geographical, not only in the sense of their familiar spatial
characteristics, but also through the nature of their underlying causes.
The combination of economic, social, political and environmental factors
inherent in any consideration of sustainability offers a myriad of
opportunities for analysis by geographers. One issue of Geography can
only hope to encapsulate a limited number of relevant concerns, and
hence I have assembled seven articles that focus attention upon those
issues in which geographers have played a leading role in the decade
following the Rio Summit. These are as follows: linking the theory and
practice of sustainability (covered here by Michael Redclift);
sustainability and development in the economically poorest part of the
world, sub-Saharan Africa (Jennifer Elliott); developing sustainable
agriculture (Ian Bowler); developing sustainable cities (Gordon
McGranahan and David Satterthwaite); the impact of Agenda 21
initiatives, especially upon the well-being of women (Susan
Buckingham-Hatfield); the implications of global warming and climatic
hazards for sustainable development (Greg O'Hare); and the teaching of
sustainability in schools in the UK, especially within the geography
curriculum (Alan Reid, William Scott and Stephen Gough).
