The new publication "Global Sustainability - A Nobel Cause", which has been published by Cambridge University Press in February 2010, is available for free download at http://www.nobel-cause.de/book/global-sustainability. 

The book builds upon the debates of the Potsdam Nobel Laureates Symposium, which in 2007 brought together Nobel Prize winners, renowned scientific experts and other eminent public stakeholders to discuss issues of climate change, energy security, sustainable land use and equitable development. With its mixture of thought-provoking essays and scientific texts, it addresses a broad audience, from the expert to the interested layperson. In times of re-orientation after Copenhagen, the book provides a holistic picture that may serve as a guidepost for new international sustainability initiatives to be taken. It features an article by Wangari Maathai on Carbon justice and forestation – the African perspective.
