ABSTRACT

This monograph is an attempt at a holistic description of the approach to sustainable development and its organization. It contains the characteristics of the elements defining sustainable development and its dimensions in both theoretical and practical aspects. Presentation of the concept in a synthetic way – from a purely definitional approach, through a historical description of its creation and implementation, to elements characteristic of implementation in organizations – is an undoubted value of this book. The advantage of the study is also the participation of many authors, selected thematically adequate to the research they conduct, and their areas of interest. The authors come from various research centers in Poland and abroad, which makes the monograph present the issues of sustainable development in a cross-sectional way.
