Sciene, Education, Democracy and the Environment Project :

Publications from this Project will be published at www.greensocialdemocracy.org. The initial publication, Towards a Green Social Democracy (September 1, 2010), offers a theoretical perspective for the necessary roles of science, education and democracy in addressing the major environmental challenges the world is now facing. Materials for teachers plus papers elaborating and applying the themes introduced in the theoretical perspective are planned for research, development and publication at this site over the next three to five years.
