Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Sustainability is often sought but seldom achieved. Chandler's book provides much-needed guidance on how to achieve sustainability in mining and energy. It explains and analyses how the principles and rules of sustainability can be applied in practice. The book thereby valuably contributes to the development of sustainability law and governance.' -- The Hon. Justice Brian J. Preston AO FRSN SC, Land and Environment Court of New South Wales, Australia 'The sustainability agenda imposes new obligations on the mining industry. The same agenda drives forward the energy transition. That transition, however, implies an exponential growth in mining for the mineral resources critical to renewable energy technologies. John Chandler's book captures this extraordinary position perfectly. It could not be more timely. Essential reading.' -- John Paterson, University of Aberdeen, UK
