Evolving Partnerships by Jem Bendell is a must-read for all those who are interested in fostering collaborative solutions between the public and the private sector, between governments, business and civil society. As sustainability challenges become ever more pressing, there is a growing premium for effective and scalable partnerships. This guide gives valuable insights on lessons learned and outlines viable approaches to achieve greater effectiveness and impact. It is especially timely ahead of Rio +20 as governments are eager to experiment with fresh approaches to bring about much-needed change. --Georg Kell, Executive Director, United Nations Global Compact NGOs and UN agencies can work with business where they can achieve really significant impacts together. These collaborations should scale our ambition and speed our progress, not make us more cautious or slow. When companies are doing bad things it s essential they are challenged, and it s essential that any collaborations with them do not let them escape criticism and deliver really significant change. There needs to be a new ambition. This book provides guidance on how to engage business for greater social change. --Kumi Naidoo, Executive Director, Greenpeace International Asking for partnerships is one thing, getting them launched another, and making them work a different science entirely. Jem Bendell offers deep insights into how NGOs and intergovernmental organisations like the UN are adapting and often being forced to adapt to the new order they have helped catalyse. --John Elkington, Executive Chairman of Volans, co-founder of SustainAbility and co-author of The Power of Unreasonable People
