Schumacher Briefings

  The Schumacher Briefings are carefully researched, clearly written booklets on key aspects of sustainable development, published approximately twice a year by Green Books on behalf of The Schumacher Society. They offer readers:  
 
  • background information and an overview of the issue concerned
  • an understanding of the state of play in the UK and elsewhere
  • best practice examples of relevance for the issue under discussion
  • an overview of policy implications and implementation
