Download or read book Just Sustainabilities written by Robert Doyle Bullard and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2012 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental activists and academics alike are realizing that a sustainable society must be a just one. Environmental degradation is almost always linked to questions of human equality and quality of life. Throughout the world, those segments of the population that have the least political power and are the most marginalized are selectively victimized by environmental crises. This book argues that social and environmental justice within and between nations should be an integral part of the policies and agreements that promote sustainable development. The book addresses the links between environmental quality and human equality and between sustainability and environmental justice.

Download or read book Local Action on Climate Change written by Susie Moloney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is growing interest in analysing the role and effectiveness of the local scale in responding to the global challenge of climate change. However, while accounts of urban climate change governance are growing, there is now a real need for further conceptual and empirical work to better understand processes of change and uptake across a range of climate change actions. Local Action on Climate Change examines how local climate change responses are emerging, being operationalized and evaluated within a range of geographical and socio-political contexts across the globe. Focussing on the role and potential of local governments, non-government organisations and community groups in driving transformative change, the authors analyse how local climate change responses have emerged and explore the extent to which they are or have the potential to be innovative or transformative in terms of governance, policy and practice change. Drawing on a diverse range of case studies, including examples from Vanuatu, Japan, South Africa, Australia, Sweden, the USA and India, this volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, environmental policy and governance, and sustainability.

Download or read book Creating Sustainable Environments in Our Schools written by Tony Shallcross and published by Trentham Books Limited. This book was released on 2006 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a major outcome of a seven-year European Commission funded project on professional development for preservice and in-service teachers and a contribution to the UN decade of education for sustainable development. Written for practicing teachers and other professionals, it will be essential reading for trainee teachers and teachers studying courses in whole school development and education for sustainable development. Each section of the book integrates theoretical and personal knowledge with the contextual knowledge provided by the case studies. The first section offers overviews of school development, whole school approaches, and self-evaluation, and points to the inadequacy of school effectiveness and improvement models for school development. The second section is made up of case studies of schools in England, the Netherlands, Greece, and Malta that are developing whole school approaches. Each describes work in progress, and critical analysis reveals the processes supporting the school's development and its holistic approaches. The final section indicates ways in which schools can promote school development through whole school approaches and suggests relevant resources. The book shows that educating children to become active global citizens who strive for sustainable lifestyles requires transforming how schools educate. In the United Nations' agenda for its decade of education for sustainable development that began in 2005, learning through doing and action-focused education are central--and these approaches are at the heart of this book.
