Examples of the so-called “nexus” integrating those three aspects of human and planetary development and well-being are reported on from the Bonn 2011 meeting in preparation of Rio+20, as well as from China's coal mines, and Durban, the South African Municipality. More interesting topics and news are covered, so download your issue now!
