The Environment of Compassion explores questions of what it means to be in relationship to nature, if and how it is a religious experience, and how understanding humans as part of nature alters theology. The book offers a performance perspective that looks at ritual, dance, and theatre as a means of presenting discussion of sacred values in the public realm. The premise is that performance may serve as an effective means for developing human sacred values that recognize the more-than-human-world, as it increases intersubjective awareness to address issues of social and environmental justice. The author investigates religion and theatre as a means of better understanding how eco-consciousness requires an aesthetic of the sacred. Rather than separate religion, culture, and nature, the book presents an aesthetic looking at the relationship between them. It considers how an embodied theatrical story might develop an inclusive community of compassion. Weaving the chapters together is an account of The Garden: A Refuge, an eco-centered play based on the biblical book of Job. Ecotheology, aesthetics, and embodiment theories are examined throughout, with scholarship and examples drawn largely from the Jewish tradition. The book is relevant to scholars of religion and theology, particularly those with an interest in the environment, as well as theatre, dance and performance studies.

The world cannot address its pressing environmental problems without China. But can China be relied upon as a steadfast steward of nature, as its leaders have claimed in recent years? Prominent environmental campaigner and reporter Ma Tianjie gets to the heart of China's remarkable ecological transformation to answer this question. He takes us on a journey through the country's thirty-year struggle to clean up its rivers, clear its air and stabilize carbon emissions, drawing out the complex political impulses that have helped and hindered progress. Anchoring his storytelling in some of China's major environmental challenges - from Beijing's 'airpocalypse' to the cancer villages of the Huai River basin, he shows how the ideas and actions of few extraordinary individuals were critical in changing China from a heavily polluted country to a place where environmental issues are high on the agenda. The complex ecological tapestry Ma paints illuminates the key ideas, experiences and influences that have shaped China's environmental consciousness and will continue to frame the search for green China well into the twenty-first century.

中国と気候のリーダーシップ
Vender, Kim, China and Climate Leadership: A Role Theory Analysis. (Role Theory and International Relations) 272 pp. 2025:7 (Routledge, UK) <742-497>
ISBN 978-1-032-73277-0 hard ¥40,832.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

In this book, Kim Vender examines China's leadership in climate change governance. International climate change negotiations were supposed to achieve an agreement at two summits: in 2009 in Copenhagen and again in 2015 in Paris. China's part in the negotiations has elicited a narrative of "obstructor" first and "climate leader" later. She challenges this view of China and investigates why it is still persisting today despite a steady leadership recognition of China found by a long-term survey of negotiation participants.In its design, the book explores China's relationship with the main narrators of the story, powerful industrialised countries, but also so far underexplored developing countries. It draws on role theory to re-conceptualise leadership and uses that framework to both scrutinise China's performance in the climate change negotiations and show how socialisation and the political context have shaped China's relationship with others. The book furthermore illuminates Chinese understandings of China's role in climate change as well as contestation of and support for an international climate leadership role at home.China and Climate Leadership offers an in-depth exploration of China's behaviour and motivations and contributes to the ongoing debate on China's rise and integration into international society. It will be of interest to both academics and practitioners with an interest in International Relations, role theory and Foreign Policy Analysis, China, and climate change governance.

Climate change is a pressing problem. Does each of us have a moral responsibility to help tackle it? In this volume, Marion Hourdequin and Dan Shahar debate the timely issue of individual behavior and climate change, examining what it takes to live morally in a warming world.Hourdequin argues there are important reasons for people to translate their concerns about climate change into actions in their personal lives. This includes attending to the many ways a single individual can help catalyze systemic change through choices about voting and political participation, food and clothing, energy use, travel, and so on. Shahar disagrees because he endorses moral specialization and division of labor in a world filled with many problems. He argues we should not expect everyone to take action on every serious issue: rather, it is acceptable and even desirable for people to focus on certain issues and decline to act on others-including climate change. The two authors take turns responding to each other and then defending their ultimate conclusions. This volume is sure to draw attention to the question of "individual choice" in climate change debates and to help clarify some of the best thinking on this issue.Key Features:Refocuses attention from big-picture debates over the actions of nations and corporations to more tractable questions about individual choicesExamines whether there are good reasons to structure our daily lives to reduce our impacts on the climateExplores whether it would be best if individuals became "moral specialists" by focusing on a small number of problems while declining to act on many othersIs highly accessible, with clear language and an easy-to-follow formatProvides a glossary of key terms that are bolded in the main textIncludes section summaries that give an overview of the main arguments and a comprehensive bibliography for further reading

Environmental mega conferences have become the format of choice in environmental governance. Conferences of the Parties (COPs) under the climate change and biodiversity conventions in particular attract global media attention and an ever-growing number of increasingly diverse actors, including scholars of global environmental politics. They are arenas for interstate negotiation, but also temporary interfaces that constitute and represent world society, and they focalise global struggles over just and sustainable futures. Collaborative event ethnography (CEE) as a research methodology emerged as a response to these developments. This volume retraces its genealogy, explains its conceptual and methodological foundations and presents insights into its practice. It is meant as an introduction for students, an overview for curious newcomers to the field, and an invitation for experienced researchers wishing to experiment with a new method. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

ISBN 978-1-032-73626-6 hard ¥40,832.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book explores the commodification of nature with a particular emphasis on how this process is perpetrated by capitalist societies. Through the example of Italy, the book presents another lens to observe landscapes and natures and the different actors, both human and non-human, involved in their production. It draws on critical geography perspectives to unveil the socionatural dynamics that form the basis of the commodification of Italian natures. It examines how the social construction of nature in Italy produces peculiar effects on ecologies, landscapes as well as on human and non-human bodies, and how alternative socionatures emerge.The book is written primarily for scholars, particularly in human, cultural and critical geography, political ecology, cultural studies as well as heritage, tourism, sustainability and urban studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers and planners in nature conservation, landscape planning and heritage management.

Borras, Saturnino M., Jr. / Franco, Jennifer C., Essential Concepts of Land Politics: An A-Z Guide. (A-Z Guides for Environment and Sustainability) 230 pp. 2025:6 (Routledge, UK) <742-603>

This book compiles, discusses and explains key concepts in land politics in an easy-to-navigate A-Z format. The book takes a broad view on land, across the rural and urban corridor, and advocates for a holistic view of the politics of land, as an aggregation of land and global social life, that is, the politics of food, climate, labour, citizenship and geopolitics. The authors have curated a wide-ranging list of sixty seven key terms most commonly used in the field, with each entry mapping out an important concept or idea and illustrating how it relates more broadly across this growing discipline. Across the entries, the book showcases that land has been and remains central to productive and social reproductive activities of humanity for the incessant renewal of life and society. A key assumption in this book is that the politics of land is made up of building blocks in the form of key concepts. These key concepts evolve, both in the sense that they are politically contested and in the changing broader context within which they are embedded. The key concepts in this book are therefore not discussed in a random way, but rather framed from Critical Agrarian Studies perspectives and scholar-activist tradition, which means taking the side of the exploited and oppressed.With further reading recommendations included alongside the entries, this innovative and accessible volume will be of great interest to students, scholars, policy practitioners, and political activists.

This book tackles the terms under which a knowledge-based society can indefinitely improve while pursuing an eco-economic steady state. In doing so, it addresses the literature gap on continued social improvement within a postgrowth economic and cultural paradigm.Carrillo consolidates research on the degrowth paradigm and proposes a conceptual framework for continued social improvement based on the integration of tangible and intangible collective value. He proposes a method that accounts for effective social value through capital systems valuation and development and includes this operational metric system as an alternative to the metric of Gross National Product (GNP). The book critically examines the challenges of identifying a complete and consistent representation of total social value. The book also includes a series of knowledge-based development programs in cities and regions around the world and discusses policies and practices for urban mitigation and adaptation to the Anthropocene.This transdisciplinary book will be of particular interest to researchers of degrowth economics, sustainable development, and urban planning.

How do we find the courage to act together against the climate crisis? This book weaves together real-life findings and examples from the social-ecological movement with psychological research to show how motivation for collective climate action can be built.The book addresses two key questions: how can individuals be motivated to participate in collective climate action, and how can climate groups become resilient and effective? Specifically, it explores how individuals can foster their identification with climate action groups and, the belief in their joint efficacy. It touches on a wide range of topics, covering anger, moral considerations, activist burnout, and the perception of protests, as well as general theories of socio-ecological change.This book is for anyone who is seeking the courage to act together and is curious about psychological insights. It will be essential reading for climate and environmental practitioners, climate activists and campaigners, climate change communicators, and anyone involved in socio-ecological change. It will also be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of environmental psychology, climate change, collective action, and political psychology.

Power. Gender. Sustainability. This Element harnesses powerful new data about gender and sustainability, presents inspiring stories of empowerment, and introduces a framework for building empowerment muscles. First, from a pioneering global survey, it unveils three shocking truths about young women's empowerment. It also compiles significant data on systemic gender disempowerment intersecting environmental degradation, violence, and exclusion, as well as profound societal impact if girls and women were fully empowered. Second, from climate activist Greta Thunberg to the all girl Afghan robotics team, the #NeverAgain movement against gun violence, and the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement, today's empowered girls are a transformative force for change. Each modeling a distinct skill - an empowerment muscle - seven case studies present empowerment muscles of focus, solidarity, hope, courage, advocacy, endurance, and healing. Third, unlike most works using empowerment nebulously, this Element concretizes empowerment - a set of muscles each reader can build and strengthen through 'workout' training exercises.

ISBN 978-1-032-78380-2 hard ¥70,400.- (税込) GB￡ 250.00

In this handbook, one in a series of three, leading global contributors analyze approaches to microplastics treatment, address advanced techniques for mediating microplastic pollution, and explore policy perspectives on the implications of microplastic pollution for human and ecosystem health. Through this book, readers will develop knowledge of leading and emerging technologies and techniques for monitoring and remediating microplastic pollution in the environment and understanding of the policy implications with regard to the human and ecological health risks associated with microplastic pollution. To achieve this, the book first explores current techniques for monitoring microplastics, such as remote sensing techniques, and their challenges and opportunities. In the second section, it then addresses policy perspectives on the management of microplastic pollution in aquatic environments and in agricultural soil. In taking a global approach to both sections, the contributors bring a wealth of knowledge and practical information to equip readers with a broad and up-to-date understanding of the geographical and ecological factors that can affect policy decisions. This enables readers to enact appropriate policies on the management and remediation of microplastic pollution that take into account the context and requirements of each individual situation. This in turn reduces the impact of microplastic pollution on biodiversity and ecosystems and minimizes the associated economic and human costs. For a wider perspective, readers are encouraged to refer to the other two titles in this series, subtitled Microplastic Pollution in Aquatic Environments and Microplastic Pollution in the Soil. In its exploration of the technologies and techniques for monitoring and treating microplastics and related policy perspectives, this handbook has deep implications and practical ramifications for academics, industry-based researchers, and policymakers to take a new direction to the reduction of microplastics in aquatic environments and agricultural soils around the world.

As humanity sits at an existential crossroads, this book introduces the need to build a nature-positive future to secure the functioning and stability of Earth systems essential to the survival and wellbeing of present and future human generations as well as the rest of Earth's amazing diversity of life. Alongside the change in climate, a more silent but equally terrifying crisis is unfolding: the loss of nature and biodiversity. These twin crises are in fact interconnected. After decades of ignoring our impacts on the natural world, we are beginning to realise that nature conservation is a security issue for humanity, and an imperative for intersectional and intergenerational justice. For these reasons, we must embrace a transition from a nature-negative to a nature-positive society, one that ensures human development and addresses today's inequality, while conserving, restoring and sustainably benefiting from nature's resources and services. A Nature Positive future is one with more nature than today: more forests, more fish, more pollinators, more soil biodiversity, with benefits for the Planet and for us. In this book we define what becoming Nature Positive means from a variety of perspectives, what it takes to deliver it, and why it is possible and, most importantly, necessary.This book is essential reading for those concerned with conserving nature and sustaining our planet in the face of climate breakdown, biodiversity loss and ecological collapse.

ISBN 978-1-032-76665-2 hard ¥40,832.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This volume examines how a new hybrid mediascape represents and contributes to the construction of facts and knowledge in relation to science, environment, and climate controversies, providing a new, critical perspective to the bourgeoning field of science and environment communication.Arguing that science must be understood from an inclusive perspective, respecting public values and concerns alongside scientific arguments, the authors demonstrate how this will allow us to properly understand the role of science, truth, and factuality alongside the ethical, cultural, and political concerns about science raised in different publics. The chapters focus on the more controversial aspects of science and environmental communication: misinformation, public understandings of science and the environmental crises, vaccination, and the role of the hybrid mediascape in science, environment, and climate conflicts.Offering a much-needed interdisciplinary approach to understand the role of science of media in science and environment conflicts, this book will appeal to students and academics in the areas of media and communication, journalism, cultural studies, science, environment and risk communication, and digital media studies, as well as sociology and political science.

In a world defined by ever-deepening crises-climate, social, economic, and political-urban spaces emerge as both the battlegrounds of injustice and the arenas of possibility. Getting Political in the Neoliberal City interrogates the roles of planners, architects, designers, and urban citizens in challenging the pervasive inequities of neoliberal urbanism. Drawing from critical case studies spanning continents and disciplines, this volume reframes the intersections of spatial and social justice to illuminate how space becomes a site of power, exclusion, and potential resistance.Through incisive essays and reflective scholarship, this book explores how cities are shaped by market forces and neoliberal governance, yet also serve as sites for insurgent practices at various scale, grassroots movements, and alternative imaginaries that resist dominant modes of urbanization and claim just ways of making cities. Highlighting the emergence of new epistemologies, subjectivities and critical agencies, Getting Political in the Neoliberal City calls for a transformative rethinking of urban and environmental planning, design, and citizenship.Featuring contributions from scholars and practitioners in diverse fields, including architecture, geography, political science, and anthropology, the book maps the tensions between depoliticized scholarly and professional practices and the urgent need for politicized action. With compelling examples from Australia, Brazil, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong, the USA, and Sweden, this book offers fresh insights into ongoing research on the struggles for more equitable, inclusive, and environmentally just cities. It also provides opportunities to understand the historical contextuality of each case and to reflect on the nuances, similarities, and global connections between different cases across different geographies.

≫System Change, not Climate Change≪, hallt es von Demonstrationen, Klimacamps und Kongressen. An die Wurzeln gehen, Scheinloesungen vermeiden: Seit einiger Zeit erlebt der Oekosozialismus eine Renaissance. Dahinter steht das Streben nach einer Alternative zu kapitalistischer Naturzerstoerung und oekologischer Modernisierung. Christian Stache zeigt politische Stroemungen und Standpunkte auf. Welche Ursachen werden fuer die Krise im gesellschaftlichen Naturverhaeltnis genannt? Wer ist fuer die Zerstoerung der Natur verantwortlich? Wie soll ein oekologischer Sozialismus aussehen? Wer soll ihn wie durchsetzen, was sind Strategien des Uebergangs? Und: Wo liegen die Grenzen zwischen einem ?System Update? und einem ?System Change?? Der Band analysiert die verschiedenen oekosozialistischen Stroemungen, die sich unter anderem an Degrowth, am Intersektionalismus, an der imperialen Lebensweise oder der Kritischen Theorie orientieren. Deren Unzulaenglichkeiten sind charakteristisch fuer die aktuelle Krise des Marxismus, die auch eine der Neuen Linken ist. Die Bestandsaufnahme erfolgt mit der draengenden Massgabe, wonach der Ausbeutung und Beherrschung der Natur durch das Kapital ein Ende zu bereiten ist.

Russia's war on Ukraine has not only destroyed millions of human lives, it has also been catastrophic for the environment. Forests and fields have been burned to the ground, animal and plant species pushed to the brink of extinction, soil and water contaminated with oil products, debris, and mines. On a single day in June 2023, the breached Kakhovka Dam flooded thousands of kilometres of protected natural habitat, as well as villages, towns, and agricultural land. The devastation of biodiversity and ecosystems across Ukraine has been immeasurable, long-lasting and its consequences stretch beyond national borders. In this poignant book, Ukrainian researcher Darya Tsymbalyuk offers an intimate portrait of her beloved homeland against the backdrop of Russia's war and ecocide. In elegant and moving prose, she describes the damage to the country's rivers, the grasslands of the steppes, animals, insects, and colonies of birds, as a result of Russia's ground and air operations. Alongside the everyday experiences of people in Ukraine living with the environmental consequences of the war, we share Tsymbalyuk's own reckoning with the changing nature of cherished places and the loss of familiar worlds caused by the ongoing Russian invasion.

ISBN 978-1-032-74280-9 hard ¥40,832.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Contested Waste' examines socio-environmental conflicts involving waste pickers in the Global South, uncovering the systemic injustices that underpin contemporary waste policies. Driven by the privatisation of waste management, these conflicts expose the "recycling paradox": while waste pickers make critical, uncompensated contributions to sustainability, they are further excluded by new policies. This book analyses how modern waste policies marginalise waste pickers, triggering conflicts in cities across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Drawing on over 70 conflicts documented in the Global Environmental Justice Atlas, the book explores how privatisation, incineration, and waste enclosures displace informal recyclers and worsen the sustainability crisis. These processes exemplify "capital accumulation by dispossession," as waste streams are enclosed and privatised, excluding waste pickers, and "capital accumulation by contamination," as environmental burdens are shifted onto marginalised communities. The book also showcases waste pickers' resilience as they organise to fight for justice and equitable waste systems. Essential for scholars, policymakers, and activists in environmental justice, development, and urban studies, this book reveals the structural drivers of waste conflicts and the transformative power of grassroots resistance in shaping sustainable and inclusive urban futures.

ISBN 978-1-009-36816-2 hard ¥30,976.- (税込) GB￡ 110.00 *

By providing a new qualitative analysis of policy coherence and integration between energy, security, and defence policies between 2006 and 2023, this book analyzes the impacts of policy interplay on energy transition through the lens of sustainability transitions research, security studies, energy security and geopolitics, and policy studies. The security aspects discussed range from national defence and geopolitics, to questions of energy security, positive security, and just transitions. Findings show that the policy interface around the energy-security nexus has often been incoherent. There is a lack of integration between security aspects, leading to ineffective policies from the perspective of decarbonisation and national security, which is evident in the European energy crisis following the war between Russia and Ukraine. This book is intended for researchers and experts interested in the energy transition and its connections to security and defence policies. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Inside the IPCC explores the institution of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) by focusing on people's experiences as authors. While the budget and overall population of an IPCC report cycle is small, its influence on public views of climate change is outsized. Inside the IPCC analyzes the social and human sides of IPCC report writing, as a complement to understanding the authoritative reports that underwrite policy decisions at many scales of governance. This study shows how the IPCC's social and human dimension is in fact the main strength, but also the main challenge facing the organization, but also the main challenge facing the organziation. By stepping back to reveal what goes into the making of climate science assessments, Inside the IPCC aims to help people develop a more realistic, and thus, more actionable, understanding of climate change and the solutions to deal with it.
