Learning for Sustainability - Introduction
This site aims to provide a practical resource for those who work with communities (in the wider sense of the term) to help them identify and adopt more sustainable natural resource management practices.This guide to on-line resources includes sections on 'sustainable development and the environment', 'participatory M&E;', and 'action research'.
Some of the topics included are: sustainable development & the environment; capacity building; learning and change; collaborative planning & management; monitoring & evaluation; general resources on participation; knowledge and information management; integrated models/DSSs; the growing role of the Internet; conflict management; ecological economics.
Each resource referred to is listed with the name of the site and a brief description of the content (in the main taken from the site's own description). You will also notice that, when you click on a link, the site will open in a new browser window. In most cases, these sites provide information on - and links to - a host of relevant topics in addition to the one they are listed under. Therefore, once you arrive at a new site, additional searching of a menu or file hierarchy can often prove fruitful. Because the Internet is vast, it is continually growing and it keeps changing, accordingly this guide represents only a sample of what is available. Moreover, because people tend to move their sites around the Internet periodically the actual address at any given time may be different from that shown here.
