Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) just launched the audiobook Hacia el desarrollo sostenible y la economía verde en la República Dominicana (Towards sustainable development and green economy in Dominican Republic) which includes a brief analysis of the current sustainable development in a global context, a compilation of national and international legislation regarding said topics and a practical guide to promote environmental sustainability and resilience from both business and household perspectives. The book is available in Amazon, Audible, Itunes and our website and is downloadable straight to your smart-phone, e-reader device or tablet.
The publication, initially recorded in Spanish, uses very user-friendly language to foster awareness on climate change and sustainability topics for a wide audience in both the Dominican Republic and abroad. For the first time, a new audience of listeners interested in sustainable development and green economy can hear an introduction to basic sustainability topics and the most important milestones at the international and local levels on sustainable development. The compilation outlines the best practices and shares the lessons learned from many countries and companies that have committed to sustainability at several levels. The book then presents useful hands-on tips for saving water and energy, contributing to transport sustainability, promoting green policies at the work place, and other related areas of interest. The book also includes several facts, important quotes/statements and useful information related to the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations.
Businesses and households that wish to contribute to sustainable development are now provided with the knowledge of where and how to start. Although this was originally written for the Dominican Republic audience, it is undoubtedly just as applicable to other people elsewhere, since our need for a more sustainable environment knows no geographical limits.
