This book explores the role of planning law in balancing the dilemma of resource extraction with the recognition of emission limits.Naomi Luhde-Thompson explores how planning law, which is one of the strongest forms of environmental regulation in the UK, has failed to incorporate environmental limits into decisions. Environmental limits are broadly understood as the point at which an irreversible change occurs in a system, providing a measure by which to assess development and to test whether or not these limits might be overrun. Combining theoretical perspectives with experiential practice, the book draws upon hydrocarbon extraction to analyse and interrogate the functionality of current decision-making processes related to planning law and climate change. It goes on to propose a new system that expands the foundational value of public interest in planning law, recommending strategies to incorporate environmental limits, in both strategic planning and decisions.Planning Law and Environmental Limits will be of use to lawyers and policymakers, as well as to researchers, academics and students interested in climate change, planning and environmental law.

Drawing on and advancing theoretical frameworks that emphasis risk and reflexive modernity, this book presents data, discussions and recommendations from the UK to explore sustainable development and its associated risks at the local, community and individual levels. It argues that local government provides an underused link between communities and international governance that can directly address some of the most pressing problems that face society today.The focus of the research and analysis presented in this book is the local government tier of parish councils. There are over 10000 town in parish councils in England and Wales that sit at the heart of many local communities. They are the closest level of government to their communities and play a pivotal role in shaping these communities. As such, this book puts forward the need for a reconceptualization of parish councils that sit within not only local governance structures, but which are also impacted by and impact upon global governance discourses. Through the example of parish councils, the author explores how local governments globally can contribute to the impact of the sustainable development goals on communities around the world.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainable development, governance and political communication.

Policies designed to address climate change have been met with limited success. Multilateral treaties, agreements and frameworks linked to the UN and COP meetings have so far failed to limit the rise in average global temperature. Rethinking Climate Policy suggests that one of the most important reasons for this is that we are looking at the economics of climate change in the wrong way, arguing that we need to look at climate change as a problem of resource creation, not resource allocation. It identifies problems in current climate policymaking, breaking many taboos in standard economics, to offer a bold proposal for effective and achievable public policy to achieve a zero-carbon economy. Underpinned by both a sound economic and complex systems analysis, this book develops a groundbreaking metric of economic resilience to measure the capacity of economies to transform without breaking down and accordingly how to best design climate policies.

Priest, Tyler, Offshore Oildom: America's Energy Expansion Into the Ocean. 400 pp. 2026:4 (Louisiana State U. Pr., US) <761-326>
ISBN 978-0-8071-8602-2 hard ¥10,036.- (税込) US$ 44.95

Offshore Oildom tells the riveting story of the United States' quest to secure the oil riches of the sea. Drawing on a wealth of untapped sources, Tyler Priest reveals how the offshore oil industry emerged from an ambitious project to incorporate the ocean's submerged lands into the territory of the United States. These lands were frontier spaces, beyond traditional jurisdiction and control. Efforts to commandeer them for oil and gas extraction thus required new institutions of governance. From the titanic struggle over the tidelands starting in the 1930s to Project Independence in the 1970s, the process of establishing an offshore dominion of oil provoked intractable conflicts over money, values, and power. It pitted coastal states against their land-locked counterparts and captains of industry against federal civil servants and coastal communities. It stoked partisan and internecine warfare. It set off an international race to annex offshore territory, complicating U.S. foreign-policy objectives. It weighed on the minds of Supreme Court justices and troubled every occupant of the White House from Franklin Roosevelt forward. The modern environmental movement was born in opposition to offshore oil just as the 1970s energy crisis compelled the acceleration of drilling in the ocean. Creating and governing an offshore oildom involved nothing less than redrawing the territorial borders of the nation, rebuilding the political foundations of the U.S. energy system, and testing the environmental limits of resource extraction. This history is essential to understanding the tension between energy security and environmental protection in modern America.

Presenting Jewish environmentalism as a case study of contemporary post-secularism, this book exemplifies the responses of world religions to the global ecological crisis and situates Jewish environmental spirituality historically, socially, theologically, and politically.Discussing key figures, texts, and organizations that have given Jewish environmentalism its distinctive character as "earthly spirituality", the book explains how science and technology functioned in the secularization of Judaism, on the one hand, as well as in the counter process of sacralization of nature. It explores the various dimensions of Jewish environmentalism: official statements of Jewish denominations, eco-theologies, eco-hermeneutics, eco-feminism, and public theology; and also links Jewish environmentalism to main forces in modern Jewish history - Zionism, and Americanization. Finally, the study explores the contribution of "non-Jewish Jews" to American environmentalism and explains how "radical Jews" of Leftist orientation became Spiritual Progressives who promoted the ecological wisdom of Judaism to address the social ills of American society as well as the global ecological crisis. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Jewish studies, religious studies, secularism/post-secularism studies, religion and ecology, and religion and science.

Kachinland is an unrecognized state in the borderlands of Myanmar, India, China, and Thailand. Its geography throws into sharp relief the intersecting dynamics of British colonialism, settler colonialism, and protracted war between the Kachin Independence Army and the Myanmar Army. Kachinland's rich natural resources - including jade and hydropower - are coveted by the junta-led Myanmar government and its energy hungry neighbor, China. As resource extraction and land confiscation intensifies, Kachin activists and artists turn to Indigenous law and media to stem the tide of displacement and dispossession. Emily Hong follows a diverse cast of Kachin activists, punk rock musicians, women farmers, and armed group leaders dreaming up new futures for Kachinland. She examines how they draw on the infrastructures of the borderlands - cross-border media tactics, inter-ethnic solidarity, and an expanded sense of the law and political possibility - to sustain activism for the long-haul. With critical awareness of the colonial legacies of the region and of anthropology itself, Hong uncovers the limitations and liberatory potential of borderland solidarity, offering a powerful lens for understanding global activism and for navigating collaborative ethnography. Through evocative storytelling and sensory ethnography, Hong's book challenges readers to move beyond a Western lens on solidarity to ask what activists, artists, and anthropologists alike can learn from centering non-Western ways of theorizing and embodying political sensation and collective action.

There is overwhelming evidence that the impacts of climate change are gender-differentiated and that women are the most negatively affected. Drawing on interviews with nearly 100 female activists and politicians from Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia and Palestine, Lise Storm explores the implications of unequal female political representation for the climate crisis. Storm considers the voices of the women who are, or have been, involved in politics at the highest level. These women have experience with running for election, gender quotas, party politics, portfolio allocation, policy making, agenda setting and other such political dynamics and processes relating to power. This study sheds light on women's agency in climate debates and the impacts of the dynamics surrounding political representation. It adds new perspectives to the backgrounds of female MPs and activists and the drivers of their success - factors which influence how the global climate crisis is tackled locally in the region.

This book explores the ethical dimensions of nature conservation, discussing how we value the natural world and how it can be protected in a complex context where many ethically significant interests must be carefully weighed and balanced.Beginning with foundational concepts of nature and humanity's unique ecological role, the book examines how conservation aims to harmonize human impact with the natural world. It analyzes the complex distinction between the natural and the artificial, reveals the pluralism of values underpinning conservation, and delves into challenging practical issues, from the ethical treatment of wild animals and the role of biotechnology to the influence of human preferences in conservation and the pursuit of a virtuous relationship with nature. By integrating diverse ethical perspectives and stakeholder concerns, this work argues for a pluralistic, thoughtful approach to conservation ethics, one that moves beyond instrumental views toward relationship and care, embraces complexity in evaluation and deliberation, and fosters long-term success amid urgent global challenges.This book will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners of nature conservation, environmental management, environmental ethics and environmental philosophy.

Yosemite National Park hosts more than four million visitors annually, a number that underscores both the national park's immense popularity and its limits. Large numbers of visitors mean air pollution from car emissions, noise pollution that drowns out the sounds of nature, and destroyed habitat - especially near campgrounds and crowded hiking trails. From the first party of tourists in 1855 through the millions who visit today, Yosemite's visitors have played a primary role in shaping the park's history. Visitors drove Yosemite's development and, ultimately, its popularity, but in doing so, they have turned out to be the greatest threat to the very experiences they seek.In seeking to understand how visitors' perceptions and experiences have shaped their understanding of the purpose of national parks, and nature more broadly, The Mountains Are Calling places visitors at the center of Yosemite's story. In histories of the national parks, environmental historians traditionally focus on either a conflict between preservation or exploitation, or a celebration of its founders, but such approaches often overlook the millions of visitors or depict them as backdrops in a larger morality play over the preservation of nature. Michael W. Childers instead addresses the lived experiences of visitors and their role in creating national parks, within the context of national park policy shifts and broader American cultural history. Foregrounding the stories of Indigenous people, tourists, innkeepers, soldiers, rangers, climbers, concessioners, and administrators, The Mountains Are Calling tells a more complete story of the park's past to make sense of tourism's environmental costs.

Humans have always incorporated wildlife into processes of work, capture, and exchange. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, globalization became the latest in a long line of forces affecting human-animal relations. Grey parrots traveled the world as pets; rats used global shipping infrastructure to spread to far-off islands and became the object of cross-border extermination campaigns; and California sea otters were relocated to accommodate global oil transportation needs. The language of globalization, however, is rarely used to understand the history of these creatures. Globalizing Wildlife shows how wild animals were not simply affected by globalization but shaped its concrete trajectories at local, national, and international scales. The editors and contributors of this collection bring the more-than-human turn to globalization studies, foregrounding not only how globalization matters for wildlife but also how wildlife matters for and constitutes globalization. The volume presents a range of geographically- and species-diverse case studies spanning from the 1870s to the present day to show that globalizing wildlife is far from a homogenous process. Ultimately, contributors reconceptualize globalization and wildlife in relation to one another and foster new connections between the longstanding study of globalization and the dynamic, rapidly consolidating field of historical animal studies. Contributors are Vincent Bijman, Christina Dunbar-Hester, Regina Horta Duarte, George Iordachescu, Nancy J. Jacobs, Ajit Menon, Gregg Mitman, Nitin D. Rai, Simone Schleper, Jules Skotnes-Brown, Monica Vasile, and James L. A. Webb Jr.

We are living through the sixth mass extinction. Capitalism, the essential driver of carbon emissions, is reaching its inevitably brutal endgame: techno-feudalism. Not only are we facing a climate emergency - we need to prepare for climate revolution.In a series of reports from the front lines, philosopher-journalist Todd Dufresne provides an urgent analysis of the knowledge and morals that are fuelling this revolution. His manifesto outlines the links between Western values, capitalism, and climate change, rejecting the "pathology of politeness" afflicting mainstream climate activism and warning that the systemic violence of post-capitalist society will be met with violence. Dufresne champions the radical critics of capitalism whose ideas, courage, and exuberant energy have the power to forestall the social murder of humanity in service of short-term profits for a tiny, irredeemable elite.A fearless - and fearsome - account of the world-historical social and material conditions confronting us, The Future Belongs to Those Who Fight is a call to support utopic realism: a vision that embraces empathy, freedom, community, and universal human rights. It lays out what may be the only path to a world worth living in: left populism.

Our lives are profoundly connected to the planet's unfolding ecological crisis, and the language we use - our words, stories, conversations, and beliefs - determines our ability to respond.Becoming Ecological offers a fresh and empowering perspective on the natural world by insisting that our relationship with language can transform issues of sustainability and environmental catastrophe. The book explores how language, meaning, and communication can help us in the ongoing process of "becoming ecological" in our daily lives, encouraging us to listen, relate, and act with greater awareness. Language and literacy experts, Derek Gladwin and Kedrick James subvert the norms of focusing on data and policy in conversations surrounding climate change, and instead centre communication and dialogue as the catalyst for ecological transformation. A powerful and unprecedented reframing - they argue that language has the profound ability to renew our personal and social awareness and steer the course of our future as a society.Drawing from various views on relationships, values, and responsibility, as well as topics like AI, food, compost, sound, economics, improvisation, extinction, climate anxiety, and even the nature of reality, Becoming Ecological is a hopeful invitation to engage with the world differently. Through everyday experiences, this book inspires readers to consider other perspectives, participate more playfully, and spark lasting ecological change.

Coastal Futures explores the profound transformation of our relationship with the world's coasts, as nearly 40 percent of humanity now lives within 100 kilometers of the sea. Moving beyond the traditional view of coasts as simple boundaries between land and water, this book reveals the coast as a diverse, networked landscape shaped by intertidal ecologies, sprawling infrastructures, and everyday practices that reach far beyond the shore. By uncovering the "coastalization" of society, the book highlights the growing significance of shores in understanding contemporary life and environmental change. Drawing on rich ethnographic research, the volume challenges traditional notions of the coast as simply a physical object or maritime boundary. Instead, it closely examines the diverse material forms and infrastructural connections that define coastal spaces, envisioning new futures for these vital zones. Coastal Futures argues that a scientific inquiry into the dynamic interplay of society and coastlines is both urgent and essential, encouraging more responsible and imaginative ways of living with and on the coast. Ultimately, the book redeems the coast as a geo-ontological force-one that shapes, enables, and constrains the transformative energies of global assemblages, rather than serving as a passive backdrop to human activity.

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the background, practice, potential and challenges associated with developing and using perceptual indicators for assessing sustainability.Sustainability indicators (SIs) are usually described and portrayed as quantitative metrics that rest above the human realm of subjectivity, opinion and bias. Thus, they are the basis for objectively measuring progress towards the attainment of targets in sustainable development. Unlike the 'hard' metrics described above, the way in which we experience the world and frame our personal decisions based on that experience, past and present, is founded on perceptions and these can be inherently subjective. This book argues that perception-based indicators are an important subset of sustainability indicators in assessing sustainability, environmental quality and well-being. The chapters draw upon examples such as the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) produced by Transparency International, and a variety of happiness indices amongst many others. Divided into two parts, the first section provides a broad review of the field of SIs, addressing the challenges involved in identifying, defining and populating SIs, especially for countries in the Global South. The second part of the book summarises the range of participatory approaches that have often been used to develop perception-based indicators of sustainability, along with their respective pros and cons.This book will be useful for students studying social sciences, economics, environmental studies, human geography, politics and international development. The book may also appeal to students taking courses in business studies.

The history of the environmental movement-from environmentalism to the environmental justice struggles of the late twentieth century-has often been portrayed as a series of efforts led by white environmentalists. In Stewards of the Land, Stevie Ruiz reassesses the movement and reveals that it has always been a multiracial endeavor. From Southern California berry fields to Japanese American concentration camps, and from Chinese cooks in national parks to Chicano Civilian Conservation Corps workers, Ruiz traces how the racialized labor and environmental knowledge of Asian migrants and Chicana/o communities built the material foundations of modern environmentalism. Spanning from the late nineteenth century to the 1980s, Stewards of the Land argues that environmental justice was never just a reaction to pollution in the 1970s but has a much longer history tied to land theft, labor exploitation, and the everyday struggles of frontline communities to live and work with dignity. Drawing from comparative ethnic studies, archival research, and a commitment to decolonial praxis, Ruiz recovers the stories of those who labored-often invisibly-to build, maintain and reimagine environmental space in the American West.

This book illustrates the ways in which today's environmental anthropologists are constructing new paradigms for understanding the multiplicity of players, pressures, and ecologies in every environment, and the value of cultural knowledge of landscapes.The Handbook provides a comprehensive survey of contemporary topics in environmental anthropology and thorough discussions on the current state and prospective future of the field in seven key sections. As the contributions to this Handbook demonstrate, the subfield of environmental anthropology is responding to cultural adaptations and responses to environmental changes in multiple and complex ways. As a discipline concerned primarily with human-environment interaction, environmental anthropologists recognize that we are now working within a pressure cooker of rapid environmental damage that is forcing behavioural and often cultural changes around the world. As we see in the breadth of topics presented in this volume, these environmental challenges have inspired renewed foci on traditional topics such as food procurement, ethnobiology, and spiritual ecology; and a broad new range of subjects, such as resilience, nonhuman rights, architectural anthropology, industrialism, and education. The second edition includes greater coverage of topics that have grown increasingly pertinent not only to the field of environmental anthropology, but to peoples, places, and species around the world since the publication of the original volume. To this end, the new edition includes chapters dedicated to illustrating the role of environmental anthropologists in the struggle for environmental justice and elucidating instances of environmental racism, climate change, the effects of the global pandemic, and much more.This comprehensive, holistically oriented second edition is an ideal resource to not only inform students and scholars on the history and challenges of environmental anthropology today, but to prepare them to apply the anthropological skill set to address challenges of justice, health, conservation, and wellbeing in a climate changed world.

At the quarter mark of the twenty-first century Canada faces two existential threats: runaway climate change and the rising global tide of right-authoritarian imperialism. The inextricable relationship between the two threats requires clear vision and bold policy as Canada reconceives its future.Arguing that peace, order, and good government form the cornerstone of Canada's national identity, Byron Williston revives the vision of philosopher George Grant to explore how these values can guide Canada in reimagining its identity across its own regions, within the North American context, and in the global political order. In a work that lays out a positive vision for Canada rooted in the ideal of an ecological nation, Williston argues that this country faces a stark choice between this ideal and absorption into the American empire. The key is a refined governance model addressing the failed history of Canadian climate policy and overcoming the false belief that Canada is essentially a land of inexhaustible resources. The nation-building project described here will both benefit all Canadians and avoid capture by the forces of social and political regression. It will help secure a sovereign and flourishing future for this country.The challenges Canada faces are profound. To meet them the country must engage fully with the eco-national project. While daunting, this moment provides a unique opportunity for Canada to link its national well-being to that of planetary health and to create a singularly Canadian political ethic informed by Indigenous knowledge and developed in step with the ongoing project of reconciliation

What happens to species when climate disruption causes suitable habitat within one country to move or vanish? In Borders of Biodiversity, Will Wright examines the histories of transnational conservation efforts to address the tension between a warming world in which living things are on the move and an increasingly walled world in which their movements are constrained. Focusing on the histories of three border-crossing species-gray wolves, monarch butterflies, and giant sequoias-from the 1850s to the present day, Wright reveals how nonstate actors like citizen scientists think beyond political borders and diplomatic traditions and find collaborations with fellow-minded conservationists by following nature beyond the nation-state. The people at the heart of these intertwined stories in Canada, Mexico, the United States, and Indigenous nations of North America recognize that biota have their own forms of territoriality that should be respected and defended. Wright argues that the realities of climate change are fundamentally at odds with site-specific conservation, which follows the possessive logic of nation-building by bounding space to protect habitats when many ecologies do not naturally fit within traditional protected areas. Taken together, these stories make clear that conservation efforts must forge solidarity across borders for biological well-being-or face the extinction of shared species.

ISBN 978-981-9541-91-1 hard ¥33,601.- (税込) EUR 129.99

AI Agency in Climate Emergency is a daring and topical examination of how AI is evolving from a stand-alone solution to a crucial, integrated force in the fight against climate change. In a time of increasing inequality, dwindling forests, failing infrastructure, and rising oceans, it repositions AI as a new type of agent inside ecological, political, and social systems. The book's 20 chapters and six themes cover energy decarbonization, foresight, agriculture, ecological monitoring, green finance, carbon markets, civic involvement, and behavioural change. Its fundamental strength is AI's developing agency, which includes the ability to recognize patterns that are inaccessible to humans, adjust in real time, and close the knowledge-to-action gap. Yet this is not technological determinism. It is about ethics, imagination, and governance. Justice, transparency, and solidarity-not speed-must guide AI in climate action. The book envisions AI that is inclusive, adaptive, accountable, and context-aware, offering a roadmap for scholars, professionals, and citizens in the urgent systemic shift ahead.
