Environmental Sustainability and Agenda 2030 : Efforts, Progress and Prospects
Actions to accomplish Agenda 2030 have gained propulsion across time yet remain undetermined in several respects.This volume draws attention to environmental-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the progress of implementation at country and company levels, underscoring the urgent actions needed. Environmental Sustainability and Agenda 2030: Efforts, Progress & Prospects documents the status of environmental SDG implementation in the two developing blocs of BRICS and MINTS, highlighting the reporting practices across these countries.Contributors illustrate that multi-stakeholder participation using group model-building exercises can be practically helpful to generate a shared mental model of multiple stakeholders in conflict.Further insights with practical implications for managers and policy makers include mechanisms for managing modern slavery through corporate social reporting practices, minimising slavery in domestic and global supply chains; use of sustainability accounting in accomplishing Agenda 2030; corporate motivation for disclosing clean water and sanitation (SDG-6) related actions; and the state of corporate environmental reporting research in sub-Saharan Africa.

The Mismeasure of Progress : Economic Growth and Its Critics
Few ideas in the past century have had wider financial, political, and governmental impact than that of economic growth.The common belief that endless economic growth, as measured by Gross Domestic Product, is not only possible but actually essential for the flourishing of civilization remains a powerful policy goal and aspiration for many.In The Mismeasure of Progress, Stephen J. Macekura exposes a historical road not taken, illuminating the stories of the activists, intellectuals, and other leaders who long argued that GDP growth was not all it was cracked up to be. Beginning with the rise of the growth paradigm in the 1940s and 1950s and continuing through the present day, The Mismeasure of Progress is the first book on the myriad thinkers who argued against growth and the conventional way progress had been measured and defined.For growth critics, questioning the meaning and measurement of growth was a necessary first step to creating a more just, equal, and sustainable world.These critics argued that focusing on growth alone would not resolve social, political, and environmental problems, and they put forth alternate methods for defining and measuring human progress. In today's global political scene--marked by vast inequalities of power and wealth and made even more fraught by a global climate emergency--the ideas presented by these earlier critics of growth resonate more loudly than ever.Economic growth appealed to many political leaders because it allowed them to avoid addressing political trade-offs and class conflict.It sustained the fiction that humans are somehow separate from nonhuman "nature," ignoring the intimate and dense connections between the two.In order to create a truly just and equitable society, Macekura argues, we need a clear understanding of our collective needs beyond growth and more holistic definitions of progress that transcend economic metrics like GDP.

Moral Progress
This inaugural volume in the Munich Lectures in Ethics series presents lectures by noted philosopher Philip Kitcher.In these lectures, Kitcher develops further the pragmatist approach to moral philosophy, begun in his book The Ethical Project.He uses three historical examples of moral progress--the abolition of chattel slavery, the expansion of opportunities for women, and the increasing acceptance of same-sex love--to propose methods for moral inquiry.In his recommended methodology, Kitcher sees moral progress, for individuals and for societies, through collective discussions that become more inclusive, better informed, and involve participants more inclined to engage with the perspectives of others and aim at actions tolerable by all.The volume is introduced by Jan-Christoph Heilinger and contains commentaries from distinguished scholars Amia Srinivasan, Susan Neiman, and Rahel Jaeggi, and Kitcher's response to their commentaries.

Scientific Progress
What constitutes cognitive scientific progress? This Element begins with an extensive survey of the contemporary debate on how to answer this question.It provides a blow-by-blow critical summary of the key literature on the issue over the past fifteen years, covering the central positions and arguments therein.It also draws upon older literature, where appropriate, to inform the treatment.The Element then enters novel territory by considering meta-normative issues concerning scientific progress.It focuses on how the standards involved in assessing progress arise.Does science have aims, which determine what counts as progress, as many authors assume?If so, what is it to be an aim of science? And how does one identify such things? If not, how do normative standards arise? After arguing that science does not have overarching aims, the Element proposes that the standards are ultimately subjective.
