Environmental/sustainability
campaign organisations (SD-NGOs) are a massive success for civil society
worldwide. Without them, we would not have anything like the progress we have
seen in the past half-century in protecting the environment, cutting pollution,
raising resource efficiency, highlighting linked issues of environmental and
social injustice, and saving wildlife and habitats from destruction. Without
them, the discourse and practice of sustainable development would not have
become established in governments worldwide, and huge issues such as climate
disruption would not have been acknowledged or tackled sufficiently by
governments and businesses.
