The book illustrates the best practical application of social learning toward public policy; in this case social learning would help the board achieve a goal of global sustainability, which it defined as “a concept that linked global peace, freedom, improved living conditions and a healthy environment.” Board on Sustainable Development, Policy Division, National Research Council (1999).
