About Green Futures
Green
Futures was founded in 1996 by Jonathon Porritt. The objective
is to lead the debate on how to achieve a sustainable future
– one that’s both practical and attractive. The
special publications are targeted at an informed, intelligent,
but non-specialist audience, with a particular emphasis on decision-makers
and opinion-formers in business, government, education and the
campaigning world.
About the Sustainable Development Dialogues
Led by DEFRA, in close collaboration with the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office and the Department for International Development,
the Dialogues
are a cross-government initiative aimed at mutual learning on
how to incorporate sustainable development values into government
policy. A series of Sustainable
Development Dialogues are now underway with China, India,
Brazil, South Africa and Mexico.
