This book is a comprehensive study on how the national security sectors of China, India, Japan, Russia and the United States have engaged the idea of climate change as an existential threat. Climate Change, National Security and Geopolitics examines the respective ways in which the five states have framed the issue of climate change in relation to their larger national security construction. It investigates the extent to which these countries have engaged with climate change as a security challenge, and how this has informed their larger security policy making and practice. The authors employ a conceptual framework that represents the complex relationship between geopolitics and the environment to grasp the nature of the threat and to assess the actions available to governments to manage it. The book also considers the interactions of the five states in the United Nations Security Council as they debate their different understandings on the climate-security nexus.This volume offers real-world case studies by national scholars of environmental security and an analytical assessment of pathways and barriers to their nations' future cooperation. It will therefore be of great interest to security sector professionals, as well as to students, scholars and researchers studying climate change, military studies, international security and environmental peace and conflict studies.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the essential concepts of environmental conflict and peacebuilding by compiling and explaining key terms in an easy-to-navigate A-Z format.Over the past 80 years, scholarly interest in war and peace has flourished, resulting in the institutionalization of disciplines such as international relations, security studies, and peace and conflict studies. Since at least the 1970s, research has also investigated the planetary effects of global environmental change. Environmental peacebuilding emerged at the intersection of environment, conflict, and peace, weaving together several related threads that address both environmental risks of conflict and environmental opportunities for peace. The language used to describe, explain, predict, teach, negotiate, and form policy in the arena of environmental peacebuilding is often nuanced, evolving, and contested. This book fills a gap in the literature, by providing a more consistent understanding and approach to key aspects of environmental peacebuilding. The book begins with a thematic introduction to contextualize the topic, written by a team of world-leading scholars. The book then follows an A-Z format, with over 150 entries from experts in the field describing and explaining key concepts, and providing examples of how different terms are applied within this growing discipline.This comprehensive A-to-Z guide will be useful for students, academics, professionals, and policymakers seeking a wider understanding of environmental peacebuilding. The book will also be useful for those studying security studies, peace and conflict studies, environmental studies, and environmental law.

Iqbal, Iftekhar / Hassan, N. H. / Kumpoh, A. (eds.), Fluid Phenomena: The River and Anthropocene Life-world in the Asia-Pacific. (African and Asian Anthropocene: Studies in the Environmental Humanities 2) 380 pp. 2026:5 (Brill, NE) <765-875>
ISBN 978-90-04-75809-4 hard ¥41,090.- (税込) EUR 155.00

The Fluid Phenomena explores the "life-world" of the riverspace that has shaped the ecological, economic, cultural, and governing processes, affecting both humans and other-than-humans in the Asia-Pacific region, including parts of South Asia, Southeast Asia, Japan and Australia. Using interdisciplinary conceptual and methodological tools, the book ties together three strands of human engagements with rivers: the representation of the river as a other-than-human entity in intellectual discourse, indigeneity, and creative imagination; the layered livelihood activities as supported and endangered by the river; and the governance of the river from the vantage point of development projects and popular responses. In doing so, the book demonstrates the centrality of and predicaments faced by the river in the late Anthropocene.

The exploration and settlement of the Pacific Island world is one of the most remarkable achievements of humanity. Early seafarers, skilled in navigation, discovered diverse habitats and biotas extending across a third of the globe. In this "sea of islands," they established thriving communities where they lived for thousands of years. Today, although island ecosystems and cultures are facing great change, Pacific Island peoples remain resilient.This new edition of a popular text reviews the diverse landforms, climates, ecosystems, societies, and cultures of the Pacific region. Seventy-five contributors-including numerous Indigenous scholars-address two key themes: (1) environmental dilemmas and possibilities, and (2) demographic, economic, and political challenges facing the people of the region.New chapters highlight hydrology, ecosystem disturbance, conservation, Indigenous origins and activism, social media, ethnography, kava, contemporary dance, theater, and the cultural impact of globalization. Other noteworthy chapters are significantly updated: biogeographical dynamics, prehistory of Near and Remote Oceania, fisheries and aquaculture, the fluidity of gender, mobility and urbanization, tourism as encounter, island economies, shifts in literary trends, Pacific music, water and development, and a new overview of land, marine, and water tenure.The book concludes with a reflective essay. Pacific Island societies have been coping with environmental and demographic challenges for millennia; surviving societies have much to teach us about sustainable living, social justice, and reconciliation.Policy makers, students, and the general public will find this book an indispensable resource for understanding the region's past, present, and future.

Potter, Emily, Shadow Country: Reimagining Place and Story in Settler Colonial Australia. (Routledge Environmental Humanities) 184 pp. 2026:6 (Routledge, UK)
ISBN 978-1-032-41764-6 hard ¥47,910.- (税込) GB￡ 155.00

This book explores a series of Australian 'shadow places' that manifest complex stories of colonised Australia in the throes of environmental crisis. These are places-from nuclear testing grounds, to extractivist landscapes, to the frontiers of colonial violence-that bear the heaviest burdens of capitalist colonial culture, but are routinely considered out of sight and out of mind. Engaging with a range of shadow places across southern Australia via literary, cultural, and critical sources, Shadow Country argues that these places are with us all the time, threaded into the imaginative and material worlds that compose our homes. Through localised stories of environmental disaster, colonial violence and profound injustice, shadow places connect to the most pressing issues facing human society-environmental futures, social justice and the imperative of decolonisation. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars with an interest in the intersection of environmental crisis and colonial legacies, and the complexity of living in a time of reckoning with these.

Bagni, Silvia / Baldin, Serena / Federico, Veronica (eds.), Law, Nature and the Ecosystem Approach: Modelling a Transcultural Eco-Legal Framework across Europe and Latin America. 368 pp. 2026:6 (Routledge, UK) <765-552>
ISBN 978-1-041-16853-9 hard ¥47,910.- (税込) GB￡ 155.00

This book argues that, beyond the apparent fracture between humans and Nature that defines the Anthropocene crisis, there exists a shared cultural foundation in legal traditions, converging on the recognition of the intrinsic value of Nature and of the ecosystem interconnections between human and non-human life. The legal innovations explored here-particularly from Latin America- embody a holistic, integrated view coherent with the ecosystem approach. It is proposed that these ideas offer potential not only within their own legal systems but also as models for Western legal frameworks. Divided into five parts, the book maintains a balance between theoretical and empirical, combining foundational legal and philosophical discussions with practical case studies and applications. Part I establishes the theoretical foundation, setting the conceptual framework of the volume. Part II builds on this by addressing the methodological implications and laying the groundwork for a transition from anthropocentric to ecocentric governance. The third and fourth parts bridge theory with practice, exploring participatory tools, bottom-up initiatives, and challenges to traditional environmental law, illustrating how theoretical advancements are applied in specific legal and policy contexts. The fifth part focuses on jurisprudence and the role of the judiciary, providing an empirical analysis of how legal principles are interpreted and enforced in judicial settings. This progression ensures that the book effectively integrates theory with empirical research, underscoring its interdisciplinary and practical significance. The volume will be of interest to those working in the areas of Legal Philosophy, Environmental Law, Constitutional Law, Comparative Law, Human Rights, Anthropology and Environmental Studies.

ISBN 978-1-032-94463-0 hard ¥47,910.- (税込) GB￡ 155.00

With a chapter devoted to each of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, this edited volume explores the evidence that corruption is a strong impediment to achieving the SDGs and that strong anti-corruption policy is essential if any are to be achieved. For some of the goals there is much existing theory and evidence which will be summarised and made accessible to an interdisciplinary audience. For example, studies strongly suggest that corruption is associated with greater poverty (SDG 1) and lower growth rates (SDG 8). Furthermore, there is considerable research on the effects of corruption on the scope for decent work and growth (SDG 8) and an established connection between corruption and industry, innovation, and infrastructure (SDG 9). In other areas, the research is more scant. For example, there is limited work on how corruption can be a contributing factor to food insecurity and famine (SDG 2). There has been little work specifically on corruption and sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11) and responsible consumption and production (SDG 12). Similarly, more work is needed on the effects of corruption on climate action (SDG 13), life below water (SDG 14), and life on land (SDG15). In these areas the chapter surveys the research that does exist and motivates further study.This book will be an essential research and reference guide to readers interested in political economy, sustainable development, social issues, politics and development studies.

Mitra, Anisa / Barua, Prabal / Homechaudhuri, Sumit et al., Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Sundarbans: Challenges, Resilience, and Policy Pathways. 296 pp. 2026:6 (CRC Pr., US) <765-223>
ISBN 978-1-041-21985-9 hard ¥51,001.- (税込) GB￡ 165.00

This book discusses the sustainability challenges of small-scale fisheries in the Sundarbans, examining the socioecological dynamics and management approaches in this complex transboundary ecosystem shared between India and Bangladesh. Integrating oceanographic, ecological, and socioeconomic perspectives, it provides a multiscale analysis of artisanal fisheries in deltaic environments under anthropogenic climate stress.Employing multidimensional vulnerability frameworks, the work analyzes ecological risks-climatic threats, oceanographic shifts, pollution dynamics-alongside the gender-disaggregated livelihood in fishing communities and the socioeconomic constraints creating poverty traps. The narrative moves beyond the Sundarbans to explore mangrove fisheries across Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, identifying cross-regional sustainability patterns and innovative solutions. Resilience-based adaptive management frameworks are presented to help combat these issues, and the authors explore policy innovation and governance design frameworks for empowering small-scale fisheries at the intersection of ecological stewardship and socioeconomic equity.This book is beneficial for postgraduates, undergraduates, professionals, researchers, fishery managers, policy makers, and academic scholars in fisheries science, environmental engineering, environmental management, sustainable development, and social ecology.

As agricultural systems bear the brunt of global population growth, the world faces an unprecedented challenge: meeting rising food demands while mitigating environmental degradation and climate change. The agricultural intensification methods pioneered since the 1960s have exacted a significant environmental toll in the form of diminishing biodiversity, reducing carbon storage capacity, depleting water resources, degrading soil quality, and increasing greenhouse gas emissions.This comprehensive monograph presents innovative solutions for transforming agroecosystems from environmental liabilities into powerful climate mitigation tools. The authors examine cutting-edge agrotechnical treatments, environmental engineering technologies, and circular economy principles that enable agricultural waste to serve as effective soil improvers and fertilizers. Particular emphasis is placed on the physicochemical properties of biochar and its critical role in carbon sequestration, offering readers both theoretical foundations and practical applications.This is a valuable resource for agricultural scientists, environmental engineers, sustainability professionals, policymakers, graduate students in environmental sciences, and anyone committed to understanding and addressing the intersection of food security and climate change.

This handbook provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of pastoralism, combining major theoretical debates with an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective on pastoral systems across the world.Approaching pastoralism as a social-ecological system, the volume synthesizes current knowledge about how pastoralists make a living and organize social life while managing herds in diverse and often highly variable environments. Understanding pastoralism in this holistic way requires an approach that bridges disciplines: not only anthropology, but also rangeland ecology, animal science, agricultural economics, veterinary epidemiology, and related fields. The handbook's chapters are organized into eight parts that examine: the emergence of pastoralism; its biophysical foundations; the economics of pastoral production; adaptive strategies; social and political organization; new methodological and analytical approaches; development and policy perspectives; and possible futures for pastoral systems. Together, these contributions advance the field by offering both a state-of-the-art guide and a source of inspiration for future research. The volume is designed to serve as a reference for scholars seeking to launch innovative, impactful studies, as well as for policymakers and practitioners working to design effective interventions that support pastoral livelihoods.This handbook is an indispensable resource on pastoralism for students, researchers, and professionals.

Indian and South African Labor Responses to the International Labor Organization's Green Initiatives:Through the Eyes of the Colonized explores the differences in attitudes of developing states to the International Labor Organization (ILO) green initiatives, such as sustainable development, green jobs, and just transition, through a comparative case study of India and South Africa. As noble and urgent as they seem, not all countries are on board with green initiatives. Some developing states are wary on the grounds that they continue the interventionist legacies of their colonizers. India is one of these countries less open to these initiatives, in contrast to South Africa, which has embedded the initiatives in their green labor programs. , This book shows how postcolonial theories such as Said's Orientalism and Bhabha's mimicry can be helpful in making sense of these discrepancies in attitudes. By providing a comparative study of these two powerful BRICS countries, it fills an important gap in our understanding of postcolonial responses of developing states, and expands the fields of comparative politics, history, postcolonial studies, and environmental policies. The book concludes by exploring the distinct ways in which India resists these green initiatives and how South Africa offers resistance by mimicking Western green initiatives in their policy line-up. Indian and South African Labor Responses to the International Labor Organization's Green Initiatives: Through the Eyes Initiatives will be of great interest to students and scholars of Postcolonial Politics and History, and International Relations.

The Sage Handbook of China and the Environment offers a comprehensive exploration of China's environment through a multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary lens. This volume presents China's environment as a series of interconnected temporal and spatial processes involving human agency and more-than-human dynamics. Contributions from leading scholars in social science, environmental science, and humanities focus on long-term environmental change, shifts in environmental perception, and the dynamic adaptations that have shaped China as both a nation and a mosaic of distinctive socio-ecological networks. The handbook delves into the processes of human-environment relations that have shaped contemporary landscapes, ecosystems, and livelihoods within China's territorial boundaries, as well as global industrial and commercial processes affecting climate change and geopolitics worldwide. Each section of the book includes chapters that summarize key contributions to specific fields of environmental research, assess prevailing paradigms, and chart a course for future work, including calls for activist research that encourages collaborative engagement with the dynamic political, economic, ecological, and cultural processes shaping China's environment and policy. Organized into four main sections, the handbook covers the long-term ecological transformation of China, biodiversity conservation and the social construction of nature, pressing environmental concerns in urbanizing China, and China's role in global sustainability. It provides a nuanced understanding of China's environmental challenges and achievements, emphasizing the need for multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches to address the complexities of China's environment. The Sage Handbook of China and the Environment is an essential resource for scholars, practitioners, and students seeking to understand the intricate processes shaping China's environment and its global impact. Part 1: Past as Prelude: The Long Journey Toward Understanding China's Long-term Ecological Transformation Part 2: Biodiversity and Wild Landscapes: Conservation and the Social Construction of Nature in Contemporary China Part 3: Pressing Environmental Concerns in Urbanizing China Part 4: Global China, the Biosphere, and Planetary Sustainability

During the colonization of Africa, European colonists set about creating game reserves in Africa, convinced that they would find in Africa a nature that no longer existed in Europe. After independence, and with the help of UNESCO and the WWF, African leaders continued to 'protect' the same nature, a nature that the whole world wanted to be pristine, wild and without humans - a timeless Garden of Eden. The consequences of this story are well known: millions of Africans were expelled from the land on which they had lived for generations in Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia and many other African countries.But how did this happen? Who organized this continuity between the colonial era and the era of independence? Guillaume Blanc answers these questions by immersing himself at the heart of a strange global ecological mission, launched in 1961: the 'African Special Project'. He tells the story of this project, but rather than following a single narrative thread, he brings to life four worlds: the world of gentleman experts who saw Africa as the world's last natural refuge; the world of East African colonists who were retraining as international experts; the world of African leaders who sought to control their peoples while satisfying the demands of their Western partners; and finally, the world of local farmers and their families living on the land who were forced to adapt or abandon their homes. These men do not speak of the same nature, but step by step, their worlds draw closer together until they meet - and this is where violence erupts.This well-researched book lays bare the violence inherent in the creation of African game reserves and national parks and documents a hidden dimension of colonialism and its legacies. It will be of great interest to students and scholars in environmental history, political ecology and postcolonial studies, as well as to anyone interested in African nature and wildlife and the game parks that are visited every year by millions.

This book highlights the role of the home as a central social unit of resilience in the face of climate change and sustainable living in contemporary cities.It examines how climate change affects households, how we can curb its impact, and how policy, planning, architecture and economy can be re-envisioned to support the home within the framework of national and international policy circles. A multidisciplinary inquiry into how families and institutions can generate a sustainable home within an ecosystem of net-zero homes and neighbourhoods, Home and Climate Change investigates how patterns of living, learning and consumption could indicate a far more significant and sustainable impact on both the family and its carbon footprint in the long term.Broadly covering areas of philosophy, housing, ageing, work/life balance, community participation, as well as educational institutions, this book is an essential reading for researchers, professionals, and policymakers at the interaction of climate change policies, strategies and innovation in local domestic environments.

This Handbook addresses the new watershed moment in youth environmental activism: the collision of the historic and globally prominent youth-centred movements on the one hand, with established, consolidated power in opposition to environmental action on the other. The central goal of this Handbook is to explore the state of the research literature on young people's environmental activism, not just as a global network of movements involving young people, but as a global exchange of ideas, sentiments and solidarities. The book explores how young people attempt to address the global injustice of environmental damage, take action on environmental issues including climate change, and imagine the world of social and environmental justice that they would like to build. The Handbook borrows a slogan seen at FridaysForFuture strikes around the world - "Systems Change, not Climate Change" - and asks: what systemic change do young environmental activists envision, and how do they conceive of, and take opportunities to, enact that change? Spanning six themes, Sadiya Akram and Benjamin Bowman have curated a diverse range of experts to interrogate this question, exploring topics such as emotions and identity; creative methods; activism and pedagogy; institutional perspectives, while combining a global and a specific-movement focus. These expert contributions include reflections, conversations, and co-writing with young environmentalist activists while drawing on arts-based and creative methodologies. This innovative Handbook is a key resource for students, scholars and practitioners who are researching and working in the fields of environment and climate justice, climate change and society, climate research, young peoples' activism, and young people's political participation.

How can historical studies help us understand today's environmental crises? What events led humanity into the Anthropocene epoch? The history of forestry offers a particularly revealing lens through which to explore these questions. Since at least the mid-eighteenth century, environmental concerns and the commodification of forests-often driven by state interests-have gone hand in hand. The rise of forestry's standardized methodologies is not only a scientific development but also a global story of power, knowledge, and resource management. This book presents a Central European history of the Anthropocene, weaving together themes of nationalism, state socialism, war, and reconstruction to illuminate their deep entanglement with environmental change.

? What are humans doing to our one and only planet? ? In an age of scepticism, division and rancour, whose claims and counter-claims about human impacts should we believe?? What questions do we need to ask about global environmental change?? How do we grope towards actionable answers in a disunited world?The scale, scope and magnitude of human impacts on the Earth are unprecedented. Geoscientists warn of a perilous future in which the Earth System has been forced out its interglacial Holocene state. But geoscience can't tell us what the root causes of anthropogenic planetary change are, nor how humanity should best respond to it. It's for others to do this analytical and normative work.What Future For the Earth? examines a growing landscape of thought ranged across the social sciences, humanities and the arts. Setting geoscience in its wider institutional and epistemological context, this multidisciplinary book addresses a set of key societal questions arising from escalating Earth System change. It offers an advanced introduction to concepts, arguments and propositions ventured by environmentally-minded historians, geographers, anthropologists, sociologists, political theorists and many others. Placing capitalism and 'strong anthropocentrism' at the centre of analysis, What Future For The Earth? tackles a set of big issues, such as how we should think about time and future, about 'environmental crisis' and the moral status of the non-human world. The book lends shape to an urgent debate about the many profound implications of what people are doing to our one and only planet. Who gets to speak for the Earth and its inhabitants, how and to what ends? Who gets to identify causes, propose solutions and enact them? As the technological power of certain private firms and many national governments grows prodigiously, these questions focus our attention on how influential actors can be held accountable and a more just world be created.University students and instructors across a wide range of disciplines will find this book of interest, as will general readers concerned about climate change, biodiversity loss and related problems. This book identifies issues of common concern and outlines ways of addressing them in a world riven by conflict and dissent yet in need of urgent, cooperative action among otherwise different peoples.

The Art of Sustainable Stormwater: Designing Blue-Green Cities explores the needs and possibilities for transforming stormwater engineering into multi-functional urban amenities. With climate change and rapid urbanization causing rainfall runoff to present increasingly severe problems in cities and metropolitan regions, this book shows how stormwater can become an amenity when designers artfully capture, detain, treat and re-use rainwater, using it to generate more habitable and environmentally sustainable cities. Taking a global approach, it provides useful planning and design principles and tools and illustrates inspiring case studies demonstrating how stormwater can contribute positively to natural systems, urban infrastructure, neighborhoods, parks, plazas, streets, and buildings. This book is essential for practitioners and students of landscape architecture and related environmental design fields.

Climate Futures Across Disciplines explores the multifaceted nature of climate futures, showcasing how early career researchers are helping to pioneer what innovation in academia might look like.The volume shows how emerging scholars can sustain disciplinary rigour while engaging wider ecological, political, societal, and perceptual concerns. Instead of treating climate change purely as scientific or policy analysis, the book approaches future-oriented thinking as a domain of imagination, design, and governance. Initial chapters translate climate change into lived or felt experience through creative performance, visual practice, and palaeoclimate analogues, then move to infrastructure design, fair transport decarbonisation, renewable energy markets, and inclusive water governance. The final section considers governance, law, and institutional responsibility, illustrating how climate futures unfold in sanitation systems, mining towns, carbon markets, and environmental rights frameworks. Throughout, contributors emphasise that climate futures are lived, negotiated, and unevenly experienced. Their analyses foreground justice, lived experience, and practical insight, while recognising the need for future research that connects grounded practices to accelerating risks and inequalities.Breaking academic barriers to inspire new and innovative research approaches, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of social justice, environmental justice, climate justice, and human rights, as well as to policymakers, activists, NGOs and public interest lawyers.

ISBN 978-1-032-49207-0 hard ¥16,379.- (税込) GB￡ 52.99

Designing Multispecies Neighbourhoods in Urban Seascapes offers a unique practice-led investigation into the complexities of multispecies placemaking, design, and storytelling in urban seascapes-drawing on experiences from the Oslofjord, the Skagerrak, Muolkkut in Finnmarku County (Northern Norway), and the Atlantic coast of California.Taking a cross-disciplinary approach, the book provides a nuanced account of the ecological and social functions of urban rewilding, and of how interspecies perspectives inform art, community building, and urban and societal planning. Opening with a prologue, it invites the reader into multispecies worlds, setting the stage for the conceptual terrain and approach taken. Divided into three parts, the first addresses topics that seek to connect knowledge between land and sea, and the development of viable marine neighbourhoods. The second critically engages with the practice of interspecies relations through four stories-two authored by invited contributors-offering reflections on practical experiences of more-than-human care and place-stories. The third brings together applied perspectives on rewilding, including multispecies user surveys, a new vocabulary for living shorelines, and other tools for navigating multispecies futures in urban seascapes. Taking an environmental humanities approach, the book builds a bridge between knowledge from marine science and ecological engineering, landscape architecture and art, and nature-based co-learning to open new and productive ways of thinking about the interspecies perspective in urban seascapes.This will be a fascinating read for scholars, researchers and upper-level students in landscape architecture, marine science and ecology, societal planning, urban development, environmental design, art, and environmental humanities.

Vitellone, Nicole, Problematising Water: An Experiment on the Edges of Interdisciplinarity. (Routledge Explorations in Environmental Studies) 146 pp. 2026:4 (Routledge, UK) <765-1079>

Problematising Water is a manifestation of thinking with water across a range of disciplines including human geography, sociology, anthropology, science and technology studies, and ethnomethodology.In this book, Vitellone reveals the alliances between Foucault's concept of problematisation and a new methodological approach for water focused research, as seen through her study of London's #OneLess refill water fountain pilot, an intervention to reduce plastic bottled water. Situating the refill water fountain as a problematic space for collaborating with marine scientists, practitioners and publics engaged in the making and doing of refill, the book discusses how Foucault's notion of problematisation forces a re-thinking of knowledge-making practices in environmental research on water. It also synthesises a large body of literature by key thinkers, including Bruno Latour, Isabelle Stengers, Andrea Ballestero, Astrida Neimanis, Noortge Marres, Gay Hawkins, Andrew Barry, Mike Michael and others, and links to current debates across a variety of disciplines.Problematising Water is a timely and provocative intervention in debates around the climate crisis and environmental interventions and the role that different research methods and objects play within them. It will be of value to science and technology scholars, social scientists, natural scientists, and academics interested in the environmental humanities.

This book analyses the wide-ranging changes occurring across Christian theology as religious environmental activists and advocates understand their part in 'saving the planet'. As the planet's climate changes, so are the theologies of the Christians working to address it. Amongst the Christian organisations taking bold action to tackle the climate crisis, creative theological ideas are emerging that motivate their critical environmentalist work. The volume describes the creative theological thought of six Christian organisations in the UK, including activist and campaigning groups, an international development agency, and Protestant and Catholic church dioceses. The authors identify significant emerging ecotheological themes within Christian environmentalism, including a greater emphasis on the immanence of God in creation, a more egalitarian view of the kinship of all creatures, the influence of notions of land and place from indigenous practice, an ethics of prophetic ministry alongside an ethics of stewardship, increased practice of mystical spirituality, and a broadening of eschatology. The chapters outline these views and consider their relevance for the future of climate theology.Changing Climate, Changing Religion is valuable reading for those across the humanities and social sciences interested in the crucial role that religions occupy in addressing the world's environmental crises, and the creative theological thought that underpins it.

ISBN 978-3-032-14293-1 hard ¥47,714.- (税込) EUR 179.99

This book explores the multifaceted challenges and opportunities related to compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), beginning with an analysis of municipal institutional capacities and their intrinsic link to sustainable development, followed by insights into governance within Mexico's health sector during the COVID-19 pandemic and a critical review of green finance in major Latin American economies. It then presents innovative proposals for advancing the SDGs, including transdisciplinary approaches to decent work, an integrated causal map for promoting SMEs in Mexico's creative industries, and the sustainability of communal enterprises within the new institutional economy. Further topics include systemic perspectives on social entrepreneurship in tourism, the empowerment of women through pantry shopping, and the intersection of social entrepreneurship with sustainable water management in tourism. The final section reflects on the consequences of failing to meet the SDGs, emphasizing the role of planetary citizenship and humanistic education in bridging existing gaps, and proposing degrowth as a radical alternative to current development paradigms.

ISBN 978-3-032-12963-5 hard ¥10,600.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This book draws on recent theoretical advances in energy humanities and environmental communication to examine the evolution of pro-bitumen discourses in Canada since the mid-2010s. It argues that the promotion of Alberta bitumen rests on three discursive pillars: petro-prosperity, petroleum-nationalism, and extractive populism. To explicate the meanings and implications of each pillar, three prominent public campaigns are examined: Enbridge's "Life Takes Energy" campaign in 2014, the Alberta New Democratic Party (NDP) government's "Keep Canada Working" campaign in 2018, and the Alberta United Conservative Party (UCP) government's "Public Inquiry into Anti-Alberta Energy Campaigns" between 2019 and 2021. The book's analysis will offer academics and practitioners insights into the worrisome convergence of extractive rhetoric and right-wing populism, as well as suggestions for effectively communicating the necessity and urgency of a just transition toward decarbonization.

Wie der Klimawandel die Demokratie gefaehrdet In seinem neuen Buch analysiert der Soziologe Sighard Neckel in nuechterner Klarheit das grosse Dilemma unserer Zeit: Waehrend der Klimawandel auf eine oekologische Katastrophenzeit zulaeuft, stellen Massnahmen zu seiner Eindaemmung eine beispiellose Herausforderung dar, an der moderne Gesellschaften zu scheitern drohen. Klimakonflikte vertiefen soziale Ungleichheiten und die Krise der Demokratie. Der Streit um die Lebensfuehrung bringt soziale Gruppen gegeneinander auf. Reichtumsklassen profitieren weiterhin von der Klimaschaedigung. Die Folge: Es passiert zu wenig bis nichts, und die Katastrophe rueckt immer naeher. Um die draengenden Fragen des Klimawandels herum entstehen zahllose neue Konfliktherde, in die unterschiedliche Interessen, Wertvorstellungen und Sozialmilieus miteinander verstrickt sind. Klimapolitisch verhaerten sich die Fronten, waehrend bei Regierungen, in der Wirtschaft und bei der Bevoelkerung der Klimawandel in den Hintergrund rueckt. Dadurch bleibt die notwendige schnelle sozialoekologische Transformation aus. Umso mehr plaediert Neckel fuer einen radikalen Umbau von Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Politik, fuer einen oekologischen "Infrastruktursozialismus" im Interesse des Gemeinwohls, um der drohenden Katastrophe doch noch Herr zu werden. Dabei nimmt er nicht nur eine Reihe von gegenwaertig zirkulierenden Scheindebatten auseinander, sondern zeigt auf, welche realistischen oekologischen und gesellschaftlichen Fortschritte trotz unserer bedrohlichen Lage moeglich sind.

An inspiring call to action that links today's climate crisis to Earth's evolution throughout history.Our Time is a true story. Alasdair Skelton takes readers through time, from the formation of the Earth to the present day, reflecting on the finely tuned climate system and its elegant workings that have made it possible for living things to thrive on Earth for three-and-a-half billion years. Skelton explores what happened when Earth's climate spiraled out of control and how it repaired itself time and time again, and as we plunge into our own chapter of time, he highlights our separation from nature as a root cause of the crisis in which we now find ourselves. Skelton tells this story as a geologist who was awoken to climate activism by the voices of his own students. He shares a perspective on the climate crisis as a blink of an eye amidst the enormity of time. Concluding with what will happen if we fail to act, and what will happen if we do act, Skelton compares alternative futures and explains how we can still choose a good one. Throughout, and without ever betraying scientific truth, Our Time navigates the narrow path from the inaction of denial and despair to the action of hope. This is a beautiful history of planet Earth and the role humans can play in its evolving climate story.

This book explores methods of bringing environmentalist, art-based and Indigenous ways of knowing and being into dialogue to improve relationships with the Earth and Her First Peoples.Geo Takach argues that two of the greatest crimes committed by humanity - environmental devastation and the continued dishonour, dispossession and attempted eradication of Indigenous peoples - are entwined and need to be addressed together. Rooted in communication and cultural studies, this book explores ways to bring environmental, arts-based, and Indigenous ways of knowing and being into dialogue towards improving relationships with the Earth and Her First Peoples.Through this multimodal exploration, the book builds an analytical foundation for that alliance by considering causes and challenges common to ecological and human colonization. Joined by a generous array of Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge-keepers, artists, scholars and citizens, Takach then demonstrates how we can interweave environmental, arts-based and Indigenous perspectives and collaborative meaning-making in our communications to inspire what he calls environmental conciliation.

Tosun, Jale / Bulian, Simon / Gaffney, Alfie et al., Subnational Climate Leadership Dynamics Among Under2 Coalition Members. (Palgrave Studies in Sub-National Governance) 191 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-981>
ISBN 978-3-032-12609-2 hard ¥7,949.- (税込) EUR 29.99

This open access book examines climate policy effort among subnational governments participating in the Under2 Coalition. The central research question investigates whether Under2 Coalition founding members demonstrate greater climate policy effort compared to early joiners (2015-2016) and later joiners (post-2016), and whether these performance differences persist over time. The empirical analysis focuses on subnational governments in five countries that played influential roles in founding and developing the Under2 Coalition: Canada, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The study makes three key contributions to climate governance literature. First, it systematically demonstrates how climate policy effort and leadership dynamics evolve within the Under2 Coalition framework. Second, it provides genuinely comparative insights across two dimensions-comparing different membership categories within countries and across nations. Third, it offers a replicable methodological template for expanding this research approach to other contexts. By examining quantifiable indicators including policies, policy instruments, and greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, the book provides valuable insights into how multilevel climate governance can be strengthened and sustained over time, bridging theory and practice in understanding subnational climate action.

Gates, Alexander, Wicked Weather: Natural Disasters that Changed History. 264 pp. 2026:2 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <764-716>

Looks at the most significant natural disasters in Earth's history and considers whether we can prevent them from happening again.Natural disasters occur on a regular basis throughout the world with severe events occurring every few years or less. However, some natural disasters are so severe that they change human history-or at least contribute to changing it-by striking key locations and/or at key times to cause such drastic changes. Each disaster type impacts human settlements in different ways and can be local, affecting small countries or areas, or global, affecting the world. These disasters destabilized populations, the governments of provinces and countries, and drastically impact populations and the priorities of a nation in response to a natural disaster. In other words, they changed history. In Wicked Weather, Alexander Gates explores these notable environmental disasters and their impacts, raising the question: What can we do to prevent this from happening again? After an introduction on why certain disasters occur most often in specific areas, Gates covers history's most impactful volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes/cyclones/typhoons, tornadoes, droughts, floods, and tsunamis. Each chapter investigates significant cases of each environmental disaster that shifted power in a region, caused wars, toppled governments, or changed policies and the way people approached life in these parts of the world. Gates also examines the field of disaster management and the agencies that handle it-what can be done during, immediately after and well after a natural disaster and how society can respond and recover. The progression naturally depends on the type, location, and severity of the disaster. These progressions can lead to complete rebuilding of communities with safeguards to reduce the impact of the next disaster to complete abandonment of the location and every scenario between. Wicked Weather is a fascinating study of our worst disasters, a call to action as we face a dangerously changing climate, and a guide to limiting our susceptibility to the forces of nature.

Kar, Nilamadhab / Kar, S. K. / Arafat, S. M. Y. (eds.), Climate Change, Disaster and Mental Health in South Asia. (South Asian Perspectives in Mental Health and Psychology) 445 pp. 2026:3 (Springer, GW) <764-717>

This book discusses disaster psychiatry and the impact of climate change in South Asia. South Asia consists of eight LMICs. As a region, it is one of the most disaster-prone areas of the world. Besides the increased frequency, disasters affect a large number of people in this area, as it is densely populated. Impact of the disasters is also considerably higher considering the scarcity of resources in the area. Recent studies identified that LMICs are more affected by climate change than high-income countries. However, little we know about the mental health impact of frequent disasters like cyclones, river erosions, droughts, floods, tsunamis, and the long-term effects of climate change in South Asian countries. Mental health consequences of the disasters are not contained within the immediate post-disaster period, rather it continues long-term. Ironically, despite the population affected being usually large, the information about the sequelae is really scant. In addition, the support systems and resources for the survivors are not as robust as in the developed world. It appears that the enormity of the concerns is not appreciated by the authorities in these countries, primarily because of a lack of information and inadequate or ineffective professional suggestions. While the challenges continue, many survivors with mental health problems secondary to disasters are not recognized, treated, or rehabilitated appropriately. There is an urgent need to emphasize these aspects, especially in the South Asia region, considering its enhanced vulnerabilities.
