"This book represents the collective body of knowledge and experience of WWF and
its many partners--which is collected here for the first time and which will be invaluable
to all of those working in the field. This guide will serve as a first stop for practitioners
and researchers in any organization or region and as a key reference on the subject.
Along with concise, practical information for a variety of specific systems and issues,
it gives many suggestions for further research."

"The authors used a comprehensive screening process to identify the key partnerships in
the areas of climate change, sustainable food, public health and human rights. Using
the findings of some 160+ interviews with experts in the field they explore the
latest thinking on sustainability partnerships. The result is an invaluable guide for
any manager embarking on involvement in a sustainability partnership be they
with a corporation, NGO or governmental institution."
