- Title
Recovering the Moral Center of Sustainability.
- Authors
Stradling, David
- Abstract
In the book "Sustainability for the Forgotten" by Gary Machlis, the author argues that current sustainability policies and practices have neglected social justice and the needs of marginalized populations. Machlis emphasizes the importance of the 1987 United Nations Brundtland Report, which called for a radical sustainability philosophy that prioritizes the redistribution of resources and power. However, he criticizes the lack of focus on the poor and disempowered in sustainability discourse and offers a reframing of sustainability to address these issues. While the book provides a clear case for the inclusion of marginalized populations in sustainability efforts, it lacks specific guidance on how to achieve this and does not delve into the reasons behind the exclusion of the poor in the first place.
