This Element examines how climate scientists have arrived at answers to three key questions about climate change: How much is earth's climate warming? What is causing this warming? What will climate be like in the future? Resources from philosophy of science are employed to analyse the methods that climate scientists use to address these questions and the inferences that they make from the evidence collected. Along the way, the analysis contributes to broader philosophical discussions of data modelling and measurement, robustness analysis, explanation, and model evaluation.

This book analyses how sustainability affects internal decision-making within the European Union and its external relations in working towards achieving its long-term goal of a climate-neutral Europe by 2050.Applying the term 'European environmental conscience' as the perception of environmental degradation leading to a growing public awareness of the issues, a notion of common responsibility, and European institutions dealing with these growing concerns, the book investigates its emergence as a lever for deeper European integration and in fostering a genuine European identity. Examining policy areas such as green finance, innovation policies, and foreign policy, it reveals the impact these concerns have for other policy fields.This book is of key interest to scholars and students of environmental economics and politics, sustainability governance, green finance, climate policy, energy policy, and more broadly to European studies and international relations.

This collection of reflective, critical, philosophical, and practical chapters represents the author's 60 years as a veterinarian, ethologist, and bioethicist. The rising incidence of zoonotic diseases from farmed animals and wildlife in the expanding human population, and so-called reverse zoonoses where humans are infecting other species, are existential concerns. These concerns are linked with anthropogenic climate change and our impact on ecosystems which threaten biodiversity and the health and future of Homo sapiens and many other species. These interconnected issues are examined in this book, broadening the scope and agenda of what is currently more narrowly practiced as preventive medicine. The author calls for greater emphasis on holistic preventive healthcare maintenance in response to the escalating costs of human and companion animal health problems, the welfare of factory farmed animals, and endangered status of many wild species.Our species now faces a complex existential crisis that must be addressed in an interdisciplinary way, because there are multiple contributing factors; factors that call for the insights of science and bioethics. Fearlessly tackling contentious issues and 'wicked problems', Dr Michael Fox offers an integrated perspective of what One Health looks like on the ground.

This book defines regional climate leadership in East Asia and the Pacific as a novel addition to the climate leadership theory. It develops criteria for measuring such leadership on a country basis and uses these for assessing the efforts of developed, lesser-developed, and developing countries within these regions.The book suggests that regional climate leadership consists of leading domestic actions, leading actions within the region, leading actions that are regionally coordinated, and leading actions on a differentiated basis between countries with greater and lesser capacity, and with neighbourly intent. The book is policy and climate solutions-focused, and identifies opportunities for lesson learning and policy transfer for more effective mitigation and adaptation. These solutions take into account the widely varying and complex geographical, political, and institutional circumstances of the region.It is intended for a broad readership of climate policy actors, including policy professionals, academics, non-government researchers, and all who are looking for climate leadership solutions to the problems of accelerating climate impact in East Asia and the Pacific.

Flourishing in the Age of Climate Change explores skills we need to successfully navigate the distinctive environmental, social, and economic challenges of the twenty-first century. Our inability to address increasing resource constraints, social conflict, and ecological decline lead many toward a deep pessimism that saps motivation for change. Drawing on research from environmental science, ethics, psychology, sociology and educational theory, William M. Throop shows why cultivating underdeveloped skills involved in collaboration, humility, frugality and systems thinking can enable flourishing within our context. He also illustrates how we can strengthen such skills individually and how education can scale up their cultivation, which will be essential for achieving sustainability. Flourishing in the Age of Climate Change is a hopeful, practical resource for readers passionate about creating a world where we can thrive, and where flourishing is widespread.

A timely new critique of capitalism's persistent failure to value natureCapitalism is typically treated as a force for relentless commodification. Yet it consistently fails to place value on vital aspects of the nonhuman world, whether carbon emissions or entire ecosystems. In Free Gifts, Alyssa Battistoni explores capitalism's persistent failure to value nature, arguing that the key question is not the moral issue of why some kinds of nature shouldn't be commodified, but the economic puzzle of why they haven't been. To understand contemporary ecological problems from biodiversity collapse to climate change, she contends, we have to understand how some things come to have value under capitalism-and how others do not. To help us do so, Battistoni recovers and reinterprets the idea of the free gift of nature used by classical economic thinkers to describe what we gratuitously obtain from the natural world, and builds on Karl Marx's critique of political economy to show how capitalism fundamentally treats nature as free for the taking. This novel theory of capitalism's relationship to nature not only helps us understand contemporary ecological breakdown, but also casts capitalism's own core dynamics in a new light.Battistoni addresses four different instances of the free gift in political economic thought, each in a specific domain: natural agents in industry, pollution in the environment, reproductive labor in the household, and natural capital in the biosphere. In so doing, she offers new readings of major twentieth-century thinkers, including Friedrich Hayek, Simone de Beauvoir, Garrett Hardin, Silvia Federici, and Ronald Coase. Ultimately, she offers a novel account of freedom for our ecologically troubled present, developing a materialist existentialism to argue that capitalism limits our ability to be responsible for our relationships to the natural world, and imagining how we might live freely while valuing nature's gifts.

Ecosocialism: Climate Change, Socialism and Democracy maps out a political path for green transition which is both desirable and practicable - without avoiding its dif?culties - giving the fight for climate justice real mobilizing power.The author analyses how capitalism prevents climate transition, assessing in detail why the climate cause is not more widely embraced by the working classes; when they are infinitely less responsible and suffer far more from the effects of environmental degradation than their wealthier counterparts. He argues that, faced with the supporters of green capitalism, who promise us that we will be able to continue current lifestyles unhindered - thanks to new technologies - the left seems disarmed. Globally, we face an immense challenge: in the span of one generation, we must decarbonize our planet by 2050. We must make huge changes - but a successful transition could bring huge benefits. This book tackles the root cause of the problem: inequalities and the hyper-concentration of wealth, which are driving forces behind the continued increase in greenhouse gas emissions and the loss of biodiversity. Denouncing the liberal mythologies of "green growth" and "decoupling", the author frames climate justice as authentic social struggle, uniting the underclasses of the world, and arguing for the need to develop essential communal services, to put an end to insecurity and protect the planet. The intention being that a full life and sustainable environment are no longer the privilege of a few, but the reality of all.This book will appeal to students and scholars of political science and environment and sustainability - as well as all those concerned with climate justice and the current ecological crisis.

Managing the climate transition will be one of the biggest challenges ever faced by business and government. While the technical and financial elements of climate transition are vast, the social challenges are even greater. If local populations and workers feel the transitions are not "just" they will resist, and that social opposition now represents one of the greatest barriers to reaching Net Zero by 2050. While the phrase 'Just Transition' was in the preamble to the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, it is only now that business, finance and governments are starting to discuss what this might mean in practice. Thousands of companies are now starting to develop transition plans alongside those of governments. This book shows how all managers can best integrate social elements into these plans, consult with the people most affected by the transition out of the high carbon economy, and ensure that what looks good on paper works in practice. It takes a systems-thinking approach, focusing on the interconnections and interdependence of environmental, social and governance issues. The challenge is immense, and the changes will need to be profound. Each chapter in the book will look at the main domains in which management and policy challenges will be faced. From massively increasing the extraction of rare earth metals, most of which sit below, or adjacent to, indigenous land, to building the infrastructure needed to generate and distribute green energy, possibly over "Not in My Back Yard' objections, the task of business and government in ensuring that these changes are fair, and perceived as fair, is immense. This book provides the roadmap for how to get there. Managing the social impacts of the climate transition will be one of the biggest challenges ever faced by business and government.

Future of the Forest is the story of legal transformations of forests across India through collective action. Since the nineteenth century, Indian forest dwellers have been unable to enforce their claims to the land on which they live or the products of it that they use. But at the turn of the twenty-first century, a new national movement led to the passage of the Forest Rights Act, a landmark law that recognizes the tenure and use rights of India's millions of landless forest dwellers. Anand P. Vaidya tracks the Forest Rights Act from the movements that pushed for its passage to its drafting-and the many revisions it underwent to satisfy coalitions of local peoples, conservationists, and a wide spectrum of political parties and movements-and finally to its impact on two neighboring villages in central India's forest belt. The forests have seen a long history of political authority enacted to the benefit of the powerful, and Future of the Forest follows the work of activists and forest dwellers who turned to the law to shift this balance of power.

In the spirit of E. F. Schumacher's Small Is Beautiful, a dazzling and revelatory exploration of what ancient ideas and ways of living can teach us about creating a more sustainable worldHow should we think and live in a world facing environmental catastrophe? In this urgent, original, and wide-ranging book, classicist and farmer M. D. Usher brings together ancient, indigenous, and modern ideas about how to live in this world and describes how we might begin to reconnect with Nature and heal our damaged planet and lives. The ancients hewed close to Nature, the source of their survival, in ways that most of us can scarcely conceive of today, and ancient philosophy often argues that humans should follow Nature's lead. Usher makes the case that Nature's resilience can serve as a model for our own responses to climate trauma and all the other harms caused by modern lifestyles.Drawing on philosophy, science, economics, art, literature, history, and religion, Following Nature's Lead is both an indictment of human overreach and a celebration of human ingenuity and the adaptability of Nature. Here, Plato meets German biologist Jakob von Uexkuell, Lucretius illuminates King Lear, and Diogenes the Cynic crosses swords with Henry Thoreau.Filled with vital and inspiring insights, Following Nature's Lead shows how the ancients can help teach us to live in accordance with Nature-and why it's essential for human survival that we learn to do so without delay.

This book explores the continuation of coal mining in Australia despite growing awareness of its contribution to the climate crisis. Through an in-depth ethnographic study, Kari Dahlgren reveals the complex and often contradictory ways that miners, lobbyists, and communities navigate the uncertain future of coal. By focusing on the human stories behind this industry, the book sheds light on broader environmental, political, and social issues of global significance.Dahlgren's research spans multiple Australian coal communities, primarily in Moranbah, Queensland, and the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. She offers insights into the daily decisions and ethical considerations of coal miners and lobbyists that sustain the industry in the face of climate change. The book addresses diverse topics, such as labor precarity, gender roles, populist politics, and the moral accusations faced by pro-coal advocates, connecting these themes to the broader social and political challenges of Australia's energy transition.Central to the book are the "final voids" left by mining-both physical and metonymic holes left in the aftermath of mining. These voids represent the emptied livelihoods of those entangled in the coal industry, as they grapple with the uncertainty of what comes next. The book explores how communities, lobbyists, and miners attempt to imagine and fill these voids with hopeful but often impractical visions, avoiding a reckoning with the industry's destructive legacy. This struggle highlights the deep entanglement of labour and ecological precarity in sustaining the climate crisis, offering fresh insights for scholars in anthropology, human geography, and energy policy. This book is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and activists engaged in climate and energy debates, as well as anyone interested in the complex human dimensions of the energy transition.

The volume explores the intricate relationship between urbanization, population dynamics, and the environment in the western Himalayas from a historical perspective. It challenges the conventional link that urban development is solely tied to population growth, unveiling the influence of political and economic elites. Through empirical analysis within a historical context, the study unveils the significance of cantonment towns, military consolidation, and legislative control in driving urban growth. While it leads to population surges, economic activities, and improvements in transportation and communication, it also exposes adverse effects like the overuse of forest resources, disrupting the balance between humans and nature, and leading to ecological imbalances and fatalities. This volume opens new avenues for research on rivers, biodiversity, geopolitics, socio-cultural aspects, and the economy but also offers valuable insights for national and international academia.

ISBN 978-3-031-70160-3 hard ¥30,598.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book presents a comprehensive vision of human life, ecology, and theology inspired by Spinoza. According to this vision, human beings and all other natural entities are not independent substances but are rather "modes" of nature, meaning that they are fleeting manifestations of nature's conatus. By intuitively (and not just intellectually) recognizing ourselves to be modes of nature, we can more fully realize ourselves. To achieve this requires a radical rethinking of our world, of ourselves, and of God, and a far richer understanding of ecology, and an ethics grounded in ecology, than those in current usage. Brian Fay explores this rethinking, and the result is a new, far-reaching vision of our world and how to be responsible, thriving agents in it.

This book explores the impact of population aging on energy use patterns in society from both a theoretical and empirical angle, with a specific focus on Japan and Spain.Many developed countries are currently experiencing both population aging and population decline, while the demand for social services, such as health care and public transportation, is expected to increase. This book expands upon these well-known socioeconomic challenges and explores the less well-known and more complex relationship between population aging, time allocation to social practices, and energy resource consumption. In the face of energy supply scarcity and climate change concerns, the impact of population aging on energy consumption is of paramount importance. By focusing on the effects of changing time allocation patterns on social practices, the book shows that the impact of population aging on energy consumption will not just affect the residential sector but also other socio-economic sectors of society. Using data from Japan and Spain - currently among the fastest aging countries in the world - the volume shows that the challenges of an aging society are far more complex and worrying than previously anticipated. If an aging society is an inevitable future, we need to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.Written by researchers in the fields of demography, economics, environmental engineering, geography, physics, and transportation engineering, this book will compel academics and policy makers to reflect on these problems and act.

Singh, Jang, Sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals in Cultural Clusters: A Comparative Analysis of Concepts, Influences, and Attainability. (Sustainable Development Goals Series) 128 pp. 2024:10 (Springer, GW) <737-219>
ISBN 978-3-031-70617-2 hard ¥37,660.- (税込) EUR 159.99

This book examines the three pillars of sustainability (physical environment, social issues, and economic justice) and the progress and achievability of the United Nations' (UN) 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Canada, Guyana, India, Sri Lanka, and the USA. It presents data from interviews with 41 political and business leaders in these five countries to examine the political and professional effects on sustainability. In addition to the three pillars of sustainability, the author briefly examines the role of religion in sustainability as a potential fourth pillar. The UN SDGs represent minimum targets for the global environmental, economic, and social pillars that underpin a sustainable future for our planet. The data presented in this book combined with the themes uncovered with the SDGs adds to our understanding of how we can potentially influence and achieve these targets and create a sustainable future for the world.

Dressler, Wolfram H., For the Sake of Forests and Gods: Governing Life and Livelihood in the Philippine Uplands. 246 pp. 2025:2 (Cornell U. Pr., US) <737-133>

For the Sake of Forests and Gods documents the consequences of nonstate actors impinging on the existence of Indigenous peoples in the remote highlands of Palawan Island, the Philippines. Nimble, focused, and well-funded, religious and environmental organizations increasingly assume governmental authority over the lives and livelihoods of the Pala'wan people within their ancestral territories. Wolfram H. Dressler traces these actors' history and contemporary practices, revealing how they bypass the state to govern the less governed. In the highlands, environmental NGOs valorize customary objects and practices to suppress swidden and support forest conservation, while evangelical missionaries regulate Pala'wan beliefs, health, and hygiene. Bridging material studies and biopolitics, For the Sake of Forests and Gods explores how these nonstate actors use customary objects for comprehensive reforms of Pala'wan bodies and souls, centering on how the unique properties of the Tingkep basket mediates nonstate biopower. These reforms impact highlanders differently: some adopt biopolitical ideals willingly, others for political and economic gain. Yet others resist interventions, prioritizing family livelihoods. Ultimately, Dressler argues that Indigenous sovereignty matters more than ever as nonstate biopower intensifies in Southeast Asia's uplands.

Olsson, Jan, Green Public Ethics: Adopting Ethical Reasoning in Policy Processes. 204 pp. 2024:10 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <737-106>
ISBN 978-3-031-67128-9 hard ¥28,244.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book argues that ethical reasoning should be adopted into policy processes in order to improve environmental regulations. It considers how public administrators and civil servants play key roles in policy making and implementation, and demonstrates how the inclusion of green public ethics at every stage of the policy process could drastically enhance sustainable development initiatives. Filling an important void in the literature on policymaking and environmental ethics, the book draws from empirical case studies to demonstrate how 'green' ethical reasoning can be utilised by practitioners and stakeholders in democratic governments. It will appeal to all those interested in public policy, public administration, philosophy and environmental studies.

Chitra, V., Drawing Coastlines: Climate Anxieties and the Visual Reinvention of Mumbai's Shore. (Expertise: Cultures and Technologies of Knowledge) 280 pp. 2024:12 (Cornell U. Pr., US) <737-1084>
ISBN 978-1-5017-7796-7 paper ¥7,505.- (税込) US$ 33.95

Drawing Coastlines reveals the ways that technical images such as weather infographics, sea-level projections, and surveys are fast remaking Mumbai's coasts and coastal futures. They set in place infrastructural interventions, vocabularies of development and conservation, and their lines and dots inscribe material conditions of existence and horizons of loss that entangle life forms. V. Chitra interlaces graphics and text by redrawing scientific images, the moments of their construction, the choices and consequences of what gets drawn and what does not, and how images are seen, performed, and manifest. These visual reconstructions show how images remake human-nonhuman relationships, arrange urban politics, and materialize landscapes in complex and contradictory ways. The multimodal format of Drawing Coastlines engages in the politics of its context where words and images combine to create coastal worlds, and to find, through a creative anthropology, openings to build new forms of care in the midst of crisis.

Laako, Hanna / Kauffer, Edith, The Maya Forest Waterlands: Shared Conservation, Entangled Politics, and Fluid Borders. (Routledge Studies in Conservation and the Environment) 308 pp. 2025:2 (Routledge, UK) <737-1188>
ISBN 978-1-032-54930-9 hard ¥38,610.- (税込) GB￡ 135.00

This book examines the entanglements and blurred edges of nature conservation and geopolitical relations in the borderlands of the trinational Maya Forest.Maya Forest is an umbrella term for transboundary conservation developed by scientists and conservationists in the 1990s to protect the threatened rainforest in the borderlands of Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala. Currently, the Maya Forest is a biodiversity hotspot composed of a network of protected areas and heritage sites. However, issues related to water, land, and forests have often been treated as separate political units, and not as part of the same history. Written by two authors with decades of hands-on experience in this region, this book sheds light on the complex dynamics by which conservation and natural resource management geopolitically shape borderlands such as the Maya Forest. The book introduces the novel concept of forest waterlands as borderlands and fluid edges, which are now subject to concern by conservationists. These are entangled spaces in which conservation, peoples, and politics interact, connect, and disconnect with the nexus of waters, forests, and lands. The book sheds light on the building and mapping of the Maya Forest ecoregion, with particular attention to water as an often neglected, but unifying element. It showcases how the Maya Forest is a distinct region characterized by transformations entangled with the Maya, trails of biological stations, the shared history of chicleros (chewing-gum hunters), fluid international rivers and transboundary basins, and various geopolitical discrepancies. It offers a contemporary glimpse into the Maya Forest's intertwined bio- and geopolitics, which urge us to rethink borders and boundaries.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of nature conservation, global environmental politics, geopolitics, borderlands, international relations, and natural resource management.

Appelbaum, Peter, Post-Anthropocene Civic and Global Education Studies: Beyond Posthuman Perspectives. (International Explorations in Outdoor and Environmental Education 15) 217 pp. 2024:10 (Springer, GW) <737-1207>
ISBN 978-3-031-71880-9 hard ¥30,598.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book explores community action within our more-than-human lifeworld, tackling post-Anthropocene challenges. It presents bold experiments, shifting from crisis study to asking, "How are we here?". It addresses key issues by moving beyond posthuman perspectives, integrating indigenous ways of being, resisting 'Doomer Culture', and rejecting blind 'Hopeism'. Part 1 focuses on Post-Anthropocene Pedagogies from an Education Studies perspective. Part 2 illustrates the power of these pedagogies, while Part 3 delves into literature on Post-Anthropocene Education. Part 4 illustrates the approach via case studies of teaching, the development of an NGO, and community art projects. The narrative emphasizes maintaining a two-way flow between human culture and nature, highlighting porous boundaries. It argues that mere knowledge won't cure or save the world. Instead, it advocates for leadership and civic engagement that enrich reconnection with place and stewardship. The primary audience is within environmental education, sustainability studies, curriculum studies, post-human studies, sociology of education, and resource management as educational enterprise.

The Anthropocene and Popular Culture examines the proposition that geology and humanity have connected to constitute a new epoch: the Anthropocene. Critically exploring the nature, present and potentially future catastrophic global environmental transformations of this epoch, the chapters through the analysis of Anthropocene-themed popular cultural representations. Adding to what is still a relatively small core of texts that link the Anthropocene to popular culture, author Lee Barron provides a new set of case studies in one text that brings together representations of the Anthropocene from the perspectives of literature, film, television, celebrity and environmental discourses, and popular music. Aligning sociological and popular science approaches to the Anthropocene with perspectives drawn from speculative design, the chapters are accessible to readers from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, examining key approaches to the concept and its impact, and discussing political, cultural philosophical and sociological analysis of the Anthropocene from the perspectives of theorists such as Bruno Latour, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Ian Angus, Andreas Malm, Carolyn Merchant, Roy Scranton, Nigel Clark, Jamie Lorimer, Donna Haraway, Diane Ackerman, Mark Bould, and Sverre Raffnsoe. With promising appeal for scholars of applied and cultural sociology and disciplines regarding sustainability studies and human environmental impacts, The Anthropocene and Popular Culture is also interesting reading for the subdisciplines of media and cultural studies, and environmental studies of literature.

In this timely book, Ryan M. Katz-Rosene expertly explains the origins and evolution of the debate surrounding the growth-environment relationship. He explores why some see economic growth as the best means to achieve sustainability, while others see growth as the cause of humanity's present ecological crisis.The Growth-Environment Debate covers economic, population, and material growth, and their turbulent relationship with environmental sustainability. Katz-Rosene identifies five distinct, competing discourses, each of which present different interpretations of the growth-environment relationship, detailing their core claims, arguments, and sets of proponents. Drawing on ecological political economy and discourse analysis, the book enables readers to situate their own ecopolitical economic views within the great growth-environment debate.This book is an essential read for students, scholars and researchers of environmental economics, politics and sociology. It is also valuable for policymakers wanting to learn about the complexities of the relationship between growth and sustainability, providing a detailed understanding of diverse perspectives on the issue.

Responding to growing interest in the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and global concern over climate change, this volume provides an analysis of how our understanding of the relationship between environment and education has evolved during the past 50 years.Spanning from the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment through to the present day, chapters examine whether our approach to education about environmental sustainability is enacting effective change. Examining the evolution of educational approaches to environmental learning, contexts, and themes, this book moves through the decades, from the 1970s until the 2020s, tracking the impact of historical events and shifting sustainability discourses within education. Through historical, research-based analyses, this book recognises patterns, trends, and countertrends that help critically (re)assess the potential of education in creating a world that is more sustainable than current scientific predictions estimate.Proposing a set of key considerations for the future of environmental education, this accessible book will be of value to scholars, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working within sustainability education, environmental research and policy, and teacher education more broadly.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Norton, Sarah D., Climate Change, Environments of Uncertainty and Loss: Jung, Politics and Culture. (Focus on Jung, Politics and Culture) 122 pp. 2024:12 (Routledge, UK) <737-1236>
ISBN 978-1-032-64481-3 hard ¥14,010.- (税込) GB￡ 48.99

Focusing on one of the most significant and critical issues facing the world today, this important book explores multiple aspects of climate change through the use of Jungian symbols and "signs" of this environmental shift, while diving deep into the politics of loss in reaction to climate chaos, uncertainty, and ambiguity.Despite the imminent threat of ecological crisis, many treat this existential crisis as something that can be pushed to the side, ignored, and denied. The loss of natural habitats, species, land, human life, and health continues, acknowledged or not. Unconsciously, a necessary process of grief is bubbling up from the depths as a reaction to this climate crisis. This grief, often disguised as anger or inaction, can lead to individual and political action if it is engaged consciously and directed with purpose. From forest fires, to melting ice, to bleached coral, and warming oceans, within the chapters of this book, each sign of our changing planet is explored in depth from multiple perspectives. Through this exploration, each is revealed as a Jungian symbol encompassing so much more than we consciously comprehend. Each symbol is brought to life in the context of this political, communal, and individual space of loss, transforming a subversive grieving process into creative, conscious action.This is essential and accessible reading for those within the fields of depth psychology, environmental sciences, humanities, and politics, as well as anyone wishing to gain more insight into the current climate crisis and their place within it.

This book presents eleven contributions illustrating the main areas of research in French-speaking Europe in the field of environmental and sustainability education (ESE).It argues that although research in the field of ESE is well established, it is not yet structured at a national level, whether in France, Belgium or Switzerland. The main issues addressed by the contributors are presented with a view to establishing a dialogue with the Anglophone community. Three avenues are identified: (i) exploring the place of ESE in education systems, in terms of a continuum of education, (ii) exploring the specificities of ESE teaching practices, and (iii) exploring teacher education and training practices. The contributions suggest a number of courses of action and prospects for encouraging debate between both researchers and language communities, ranging from collaboration and shared research programmes to a reworking of educational concepts and practices, and initial and continuing professional development, in relation to pressing pedagogical, social and environmental challenges.This volume will be a key resource for educators, policymakers, scholars and advanced students of environmental and sustainability education and teacher education and training. It was originally published as a special issue of Environmental Education Research

Sustainability has become a touchstone for development worldwide, promising an antidote to environmental degradation and capitalism's excess: waste. Refusing Sustainability presents a fundamentally different account of sustainability and waste itself by uncovering the intersections of international environmental reforms and racialized labor. In Bulgaria, Roma comprise the bulk of the country's waste workers, while anti-Roma racism casts them as socially disposable. Without their labor, however, the country cannot meet the sustainability targets required by the European Union. Drawing on fieldwork that spans twenty years, including 11 months working alongside Romani women street sweepers, and years embedded in waste organizations, political campaigns, Roma NGOs, and activist groups, Elana Resnick analyzes the power hierarchies at play in both waste management and European expansion projects. Simultaneously, she examines how communities racialized as discardable push back against a system that relies on and excludes them. Instead of focusing on only environmental harms or toxic distributions, Refusing Sustainability approaches Romani life-worlds as spaces of creative production. Resnick tells the stories of ordinary people who reject the status quo-the conditions of what she calls racial sustainability. Through their experiences, she also tells several larger stories: of postsocialist racial capitalism, environmental progressivism, Europeanization, the failure of democratic politics, neighborhood mutual aid, and the power of women's friendships.

Extreme heat, fires, floods, and storms are transforming our planet. Yet instead of serious responses from world leaders, we get increasing emissions, divisive politics, and ersatz solutions that offer more of the same: more capitalism, more complexity, more "progress." The impasse we face is not only political and institutional, but cognitive, existential, and narrative. We're incapable of grasping the scale, speed, and impact of global warming. Our brains can't make sense of how radically our world is changing. And we optimistically cling to a civilizational narrative that promises a better tomorrow if we just keep doing what we're doing. It's well past time, Roy Scranton argues, to free ourselves from our dangerous and dogmatic faith in progress. Such unwarranted optimism will only accelerate our collective disintegration. If we want to have any hope at all for the future, it must be grounded in a recognition of human limits-a view Scranton calls ethical pessimism. Drawing from psychology, philosophy, history, and politics, as well as film, literature, and personal experience, Scranton describes the challenges we face in making sense of our predicament, from problems in communication to questions of justice, from the inherent biases in human perception to the difficulties of empirical knowledge. What emerges is a challenging but ultimately hopeful proposition: if we have the courage to accept our limits, we may find a way to embrace our unknowable future.

This book uses a declarative mapping methodology to examine a range of issues relating to environmental and social justice issues, including climate change, homelessness, refugees, food insecurity, and racial and gender inequality. The book explores how we can bring about change in order to have a meaningful impact on these problems, using a literature-based approach to identify and analyse this through the declarative mapping method, showing how this methodology can be used in the context of these issues. The authors build a body of knowledge based upon published research, to offer a template that may be used to bring about meaningful and appropriate changes in human behaviour in a variety of social/ecological justice contexts. In a world where most of the global challenges we face are a result of human behaviour, the book applies psychological principles to gain a deeper understanding of our responses to world issues. Case studies are included to show how specific strategies can be used to address problems, and a holistic perspective offers strategies and insights into addressing these challenges. This is an ideal text for researchers and students interested in environmental and social issues, especially those looking to find ways to address them through research methodologies.

This book provides a critical assessment of conservation in the Anthropocene grounded in the personal, historical, and cultural development of human interaction with nature.This book argues that conservation can no longer be primarily about preserving nature but must adapt its efforts to promote changes through which humans create a landscape that is neither abandoned nor degraded but used well by humans and non-humans alike. The book firstly reviews the origin of ideas and conditions that have led to the concept and classification of the Anthropocene and explores how the author's own interactions with nature were shaped through his experience as a conservation biologist. Next, it explores how humans have come to be the primary drivers of ecological activity, geological events, and climate change. Chapters then focus on the need for new conservation thinking regarding novel ecosystems, urban conservation, the role of Indigenous Peoples in conservation, and the value of protected areas, parks, and wilderness. The book concludes by identifying strategies for effective conservation and argues for a new formulation of conservation values that redefine human relationships and interaction with nature. Chapters are enlivened by the personal experiences of the author and the first-person narratives of conservation activists and scientists who are learning to practice and succeed in conservation efforts under Anthropogenic conditions.Drawing on global examples, this book will be of great value to students and scholars of biodiversity conservation and environmental science ready to consider a new way of looking at the care and nurture of nature in the Anthropocene.
