Taylor & Francis Ltd Gender Dynamics in Transboundary Water Governance
Book SynopsisThis volume assesses the nexus of gender and transboundary water governance, containing empirical case studies, discourse analyses, practitioners' accounts, and theoretical reflections.Transboundary water governance exists at the intersection of two highly masculinised fields: diplomacy and water resources management. In both fields, positions are mainly held by men, and core ideas, norms, and guiding principles that are presented as neutral, are both shaped by men and based on male experiences. This book sheds light on the often hidden gender dynamics of water conflict and cooperation at the transboundary level and on the implicit assumptions that guide research and policies. The individual chapters of the book, based on case studies from around the world, reveal the gendered nature of water diplomacy, take stock of the number of women involved in organisations that govern shared waters, and analyse programmes that have been set up to promote women in water diplomacy and theTrade Review"In this seminal collection, the authors expose the inherent genderedness of business-as-usual transboundary water management and provide readers with tools and experience to unravel and dismantle implicit and explicit bias at various scales. While focusing on gender, their work is equally relevant to cultural, racial, and inter-generational examinations. The authors voice the need for active mitigation of institutional bias and a critical re-thinking of decision-making processes and priorities. With this important new release, the authors make visible the untenable cost of the status quo and the urgent need to course correct to meet the water and environmental crisis of today for all of society."Elizabeth A. Koch, Operations Lead, Transboundary Water Cooperation, Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) "This book provides a unique account of what "gender mainstreaming" means in transboundary water resources governance, from conceptual understanding to real life experiences. The comparative case studies across basins and basin organisations uncover critical narratives on participation in formal institutions and transboundary governance processes from a gender perspective, drawing attention to issues of inclusion, participation, and intersectionality. The depth of the case studies portrays uncontested responsibilities of duty bearers, being confronted with the lived experiences of women in society, and provides examples of transformational approaches to engender transboundary water management. Its conclusions on gender and feminism concretely summarize the contemporary state of knowledge and provide a well guided, forward-looking perspective on what and how inclusion can and should be in transboundary water governance."Donald Kasongi, Secretary General, Nile Basin Discourse"This book uses a feminist gaze to pry open the masculinist terrain of transboundary water governance. It skillfully unravels how water diplomacy and management professions come to be gendered. It also questions the persistence of state-centric and technical framings in transboundary water governance agendas that exclude other knowledges. Finally, the book is self-reflective and respects the situated knowledges of its contributors, thus amplifying a truly inclusive feminist ethos. I recommend this book not only to water professionals but also to aligned political ecologists who may be pondering on the positioning of feminist contributions to social justice in transboundary waters."Bernadette P. Resurrección, Associate Professor and Queen’s National Scholar on Development in Practice, Global Development Studies, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada"As noted in the introduction to this wide ranging and nuanced volume, representatives of the interests in water diplomacy have historically been both overwhelmingly male and technical in their backgrounds and outlooks. Fortunately, that imbalance is slowly changing. Not only are women increasingly representing water constituents in dialogue at all scales, but the frameworks that are used to inform policy are moving well beyond the historical "deification of quantification" to include alternative, critical, affective, spiritual and, yes, feminist approaches – what the editors and authors refer to as the "gendering" of the field. The editors, all cutting edge "pracademics" in their own rights whose worldviews are deeply informed by their professional experiences as well as their academic frameworks, bring together a rich set of authors whose compelling case studies from around the world and thoughtful assessments weave a collective narrative of much needed global change, as well as the far-reaching implications that result."Aaron Wolf, Professor of Geography, College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University, USATable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sport Performance and Sustainability
Book SynopsisThis book examines the logic of faster, higher, and stronger' and the technoscientific revolution that has driven tremendous growth in the sports economy and in sport performance over the last 100 years. It asks whether this logic needs revisiting in the light of the climate crisis and sport's environmental responsibilities.Drawing on multi-disciplinary work in sport history, sport pedagogy, sport philosophy, sport science, and environmental history, the book considers not only how sportification may have contributed to the growing environmental impact of sport but also whether it might be used as a tool of positive social change. It reflects on the ways that sport sets performance limits for other ethical reasons, such as doping controls, and asks whether sport could or should set limits for environmental reasons too. Sport, Performance and Sustainability touches on key themes in sport studies, including digitisation, activism, social media, empowerment, youth sport, Table of ContentsPart I Overarching Logics and Issues: Tensions and Entanglements Between Sport, Performance, and Sustainability.1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Planetary
Book SynopsisThis book proposes a paradigm shift in how human and nonhuman well-being are perceived and approached. In response to years of accelerated decline in the health of ecosystems and their inhabitants, this edited collection presents planetary well-being as a new cross-disciplinary concept to foster global transformation towards a more equal and inclusive framing of well-being. Throughout this edited volume, researchers across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences apply and reflect on the concept of planetary well-being, showcasing its value as an interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral changemaker. The book explores the significance of planetary well-being as a theoretical and empirical concept in sustainability science and applies it to discipline-specific cases, including business, education, psychology, culture, and development. Interdisciplinary perspectives on topical global questions and processes underpin each chapter, from soil processes and ecosystem health toTrade Review"The work of IPBES has shown that many sustainable development goals will not be met by 2030 with current negative trends in biodiversity and may only be achieved through transformative changes across economic, social, political and technological factors. Transformative change calls for deep systemic transformations in our production and consumption habits, and in the way people value nature and conceive a good quality of life. This novel work on planetary well-being addresses the critical need for more work on transformative change, in particular by conceptualising well-being for all life on Earth, for humans and non-humans." Anne Larigauderie, Executive Secretary, Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)"This wide-ranging, multifaceted volume advances a bold theoretical proposal: Earth as a whole, as an integrated complex system, can fare better or worse – in specifiable, measurable, theoretically defensible terms. Then the volume advances another, equally bold suggestion: thinking in terms of planetary wellbeing can inform policies in novel ways at various scales – to include and balance the needs, interests, leanings, and powers of all those humans and nonhumans that across time concur to propel Earth’s transformations. This volume opens and most competently orients a whole new research program, which is as ambitious and urgent as the theoretical and practical tasks it sets for itself."Marcello Di Paola, Assistant Professor in the History of Philosophy, University of Palermo, ItalyTable of ContentsIntroduction to interdisciplinary perspectives on planetary well-being Part 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Science Technology Engineering Arts and
Book SynopsisThis book provides a fresh perspective on recent debates around integrating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education in early childhood.The book offers inspiration and practical advice for educators and researchers. It suggests concrete ways to engage young children in STEAM learning activities and promote their development. With contributions from international experts, the book discusses how to develop age-appropriate STEAM learning activities for young children. Divided into four parts, the book covers a wide range of topics, including the perceptions and practices of STEAM education among early childhood teachers in different countries, the use of new pedagogies and technologies to promote equitable and accessible STEAM education, the role of teacher education and policy in reducing inequality in STEAM education, and how early STEAM education can promote social change and achieve sustainable development goals. The book highlights the imporTrade ReviewAndreas Schleicher – Director for the Directorate of Education and Skills, OECD Children are born as STEM experts, they love understanding nature, to try things out and test ideas, and to figure out cause and effect. But as they grow older, many turn away from this early love, experiencing the STEM subjects in school as an abstract world of formulas and equations that is unrelated to their lives and dreams, quickly memorised and then forgotten. Yang, Kewalramani and Senthil show how we can turn this around, teaching STEM in the early years in ways that build curiosity, agency and a science-based world view. This is not just about the next generation of engineers, it is about citizens who share an evidence-based reality and who take responsible decisions for themselves, for others and for the planet.Philip Hui Li – Chair Professor and Dean of Shanghai Institute of Early Childhood Education, Shanghai Normal University, ChinaThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the cutting-edge state of STEAM education in early childhood settings with practical examples and effective strategies. It covers a wide range of topics, including teacher perceptions and practices, the role of new pedagogies and technologies, equity and inclusion, teacher education and policy, and achieving sustainable development goals. The diverse global perspectives and enriched international experiences make this book an essential read for anyone interested in promoting STEAM education for young children. The editors, Weipeng Yang, Sarika Kewalramani, and Jyoti Senthil, have brought together an incredible group of contributors to create a timely and valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers alike.Coral Campbell – Professor of Science Education, Deakin University, Australia In recent years, two very strong focuses have emerged that impact the world – the need for STEM capabilities and the development of sustainable futures. If we are to have a prosperous, equitable future, we need to cultivate a futures-oriented approach to learning that involves young children. In the area of early childhood education, STEAM education has been expanding to provide young children with a means to contribute as active participants in their learning. Children also have a role in sustaining a viable environmental future. Young children will need to manage the sustainability issues of the future, with STEAM skills and knowledge. This book is a valuable contribution to the field as it successfully brings together recent relevant research from across the globe. Using a structured approach to identify the issues and successes in STEAM education for sustainability, this book is a ‘must read’ for any early childhood professional educator and researcher who seeks to understand the complexities underpinning a sustainability approach to STEAM teaching and learning. It is a significant contribution to the field.Professor Susanne Garvis, Griffith UniversityThis book draws together 16 chapters from around the world to explore different perspectives, theories and practices useful for early childhood education practitioners and researchers. The alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals shows the importance of creating high quality learning experiences with young children to support successful equitable and sustainable futures for all. A focus on future orientation provides opportunities for teachers and policy makers to rethink what is possible and allow strong connections between theory and pedagogical practices.Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ecological Principles for Sustainable Education
Book SynopsisThis book explores how the education sector can transition to being truly sustainable and why necessary innovations for educational change are being subverted and undermined when mapped onto the existing industrial educational system.Based on PhD case study research with schools that are modelling and teaching sustainability, action research, and the authorâs 40 years of working in the K-12 system, this volume examines how education continues to perpetuate the status quo, and why education innovations are thus undermined. It shows the importance of redesigning education based on the principles of sustainable living systems and explores how this can be achieved across all levels of the educational system. The first part of the book establishes a new vision of sustainable education, whilst the second brings to light the industrial mechanistic root metaphors in current practice across leadership and administration, buildings and grounds, curriculum design, teaching, and learning that are subverting innovative efforts. From understanding the foundational, influential, problematic root metaphors of our Industrial educational system, it moves to explore how the ecological principles of sustainability can be used to rethink and redesign an educational system, from its administration, leadership, and policy, to curriculum, buildings, grounds and resources, through to teaching and learning, that will support sustainability, innovation, and creativity, developing systems thinking and sustainability as a frame of mind.Exploring how the education sector can transition to being truly sustainable and find new ways to traverse the problematic Industrial world view at this pivotal moment, will appeal to administrators, post-secondary educators, policymakers, and researchers and scholars of sustainability education, educational leadership, curriculum design, and educational philosophy.Trade Review"The planetary ecological crisis begins with how we think and that makes education central to efforts to build a sustainable and decent civilization. Liza Ireland's remarkable book proposes systemic and deep changes across the board to reshape educational institutions to meet the global challenges ahead. It should be read by teachers, administrators, trustees, students, and public officials who need thoughtful answers to vexing problems."-David W. Orr, Arizona State UniversityAs an educator in the Industrial schooling system for over 20 years, I have witnessed first hand the impact such a system has on student learning and teacher resiliency, and the urgency by which change is needed. Ecological Principles for Sustainable Education: Challenging Root Metaphors and the Industrial Schooling System speaks to the barriers encountered by educators including myself in advocating for transformational changes, and provides management and administration with the understandings needed to bring about systemic change. Using real world examples, Dr. Ireland provides us with theory-to-practice ways to initiate the educational transformation required to transition society towards an eco-centric, life-affirming way of being. -Dayna Margetts, B.Kin, M.Sc in Environmental Practice, High School Teacher, Kelowna, BC“Brilliant and timely! Dr. Ireland’s depth of knowledge of living systems and passion for sustainable education offers vital and experienced insights into what is possible when new epistemes recognize emergent properties and practices and we (re)solve the ways we teach and learn to see the whole of education as nested and interconnected. Our graduate students working within tired, outdated factory models of education will surely find inspiration and relief here. To imagine the eyes of the future looking back at us now, it becomes clear that the success of the student requires a profound shift in understanding of how true education is interdependent and concomitant with the health of lands and creatures, patterns and processes, and all people, present and future. This book shows us it is possible to flourish together when we live our learning.”-Dr. Hilary Leighton School of Environment and Sustainability, Royal Roads University“We finally have the blueprint for the education system that is needed for the world we are facing. Spoiler alert: What would nature do? This book not only gives the vision but explains how to implement a new system and shares real-world examples. This book ought to be read by stakeholders at every level of our current education system.” Erich Meyer, Secondary Teacher“Ecological Principles for Sustainable Education recognizes that there is a need for opportunities and challenges to be addressed by multiple stakeholders including teacher training programs, policymakers, and elements of the general community. Case examples are provided where emphasis is placed on describing and providing adequate training and resources to teachers while promoting students with outdoor and hands-on learning experiences that can foster a deeper connection with nature and an enhanced understanding of ecological principles.In sum, this book offers approaches that will support and enable educators to re-think and challenge many of the metaphors and practices that have shaped school systems while also offering inspiring case examples of innovative practices that have moved in new directions for sustainable environmental education. This book should be helpful to School Boards and related organizations as they assess their current situations and needs for action and resources.” -Milt McClaren, Professor Emeritus, Simon Fraser University, Teacher Education “Ecological Principles for Sustainable Education: Challenging Root Metaphors and the Industrial Schooling System is a necessary read for any person involved with educational systems. Most educational change literature focuses on one area of transformation (usually pedagogy), and merely calls for transformation. This book is not that. This book examines the educational system from all leverage points of systemic change, recognizing that the worldview of the stakeholders is of paramount importance, and calls for all educational professionals and stakeholders to examine the "why" of the system they work in, and how their own thinking and understanding of the world and themselves creates the system. It also calls for collaboration beyond a sense of what has previously been touted as "best practice" to create meaningful change, and delves into the practical how of redesigning what school is and how students are educated at every level of the system. Dr. Ireland succinctly elucidates why and how the industrial model of education sabotages previous change models and provides meaningful illumination to a path forward, out of the Anthropocene, into the Symbiocene that reflects how our planetary systems work. This book is a guide to how we need to change education, literally from the grounds up to the policy, procedure, and ways of knowing and interacting with each other and the world around us. I urge everyone to read this, share it with your friends, local school professionals and board members.”-Nicol Suhr, Principal"Every now and then a book comes along that frames complex issues with clarity and resonance while providing insights to guide our way forward. Liza Ireland's Ecological Principles for Sustainable Education: Challenging Root Metaphors and the Industrial Schooling System is such a book. Through analysis and story Ireland leads the reader to better understand how our current approach to schooling is not fit for the purpose of building an eco-centric foundation to support a sustainable future for all living beings on the planet. The author reveals the Industrial provenance of mainstream schooling and demonstrates how a re-design for ecological principles can transform curriculum, teaching and learning, and school governance including the physical classrooms, buildings, and grounds typical for the places we call schools today. Ecological Principles for Sustainable Education is a fascinating and clear-eyed look at where we have been, where we are, and how we can shift course guided by the inspirational stories of innovative educators and school communities who are pointing a hopeful way forward for us all." -Dr. Patrick Howard, Dean of the School of Education, Teacher Education Standing Committee of EECOMTable of ContentsPart 1.

Book SynopsisThis book examines international aid in North Korea, in particular the ongoing policy of withholding aid, through the lens of the impact on the general population to present an argument for sustainable development.Focusing on the human rights of North Koreans and presenting a case for the use of aid as a provision for social change, it explores an alternative narrative to the existing long-drawn-out rhetoric of denuclearisation-first'. The book's scope includes evaluations of the causes of international sanctions and their impact, the Kim regime's mitigation of sanctions through marketisation and a digital economy as well as barriers to aid monitoring and the reason for the absence of any mass anti-regime movement. It also posits that North Korea is a fragile state but cloaked by the image of a strong regime.The book succinctly demonstrates that the key to unlocking the potential of North Korea's cloaked society' does not lie in sanctions, but is to be found in engagemTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Navigating the Complexity Across the
Book SynopsisPromoting peace and sustainability in human development while accounting for the risks associated with the impact of climate change on society has become more imperative than ever when addressing humanity''s challenges of the twenty-first century. There is enough evidence that peace, sustainability, and climate security are entangled with multiple complex interactions and cannot be dealt with in isolation and independently from the environment and the numerous systems with which they interact. Yet, the intersection of peace, sustainability, and climate security or their opposites (i.e., conflict, unsustainability, and climate vulnerability) is rarely articulated with a systemic mindset. A multi-solving nexus approach is more appropriate to capture the complexity and uncertainty of how the three sectors of peace, sustainability, and climate security play a role in community development, the nature of their causal chains, and the feedback on how community development affects the Table of Contents1.

Trade Review"This book is an important, insightful and practical guide to experiential approaches that maximize engagement in teaching and learning. While giving technology its due, Roberts reminds us that higher education’s transformative power is in ‘live encounters.’" —Parker J. Palmer, Founder and Senior Partner of the Center for Courage and Renewal and author of The Courage to Teach"Experiential Education in the College Context is a wonderful, timely antidote to fads and technologies that promise much but often fail to ignite deep thinking and transformational learning. Roberts' book helps us see experiential education as an ecology of methods and theories that, when taken together and designed with caring intent, can ‘revitalize the live encounter’ between students and professors. This book makes a great contribution to the field at just the right time."--Kathleen Knight Abowitz, Chair of the Department of Educational Leadership, Miami University, and Past President, John Dewey Society"Roberts has written a book that both synthesizes and pushes our current examination of education. He combines theory and practice with motivation and design to teach us the importance of framing, empathy, reflection, chunking, processing, ownership, and more, in experiential education.

Taylor & Francis Joint FactFinding in Urban Planning and
Book SynopsisThe days of rationalist scientific management and deference to official data are behind us. The credibility of experts and the information they provide are regularly challenged; officials are routinely provided with conflicting sets of facts as they plan and make decisions; and decision makers and stakeholders alike are largely skeptical that technical information will adequately account for the various interests and concerns and lead to the right outcomes. They struggle to reconcile technical information with other forms of knowledge, and differing interests, priorities and perspectives. Issues like climate change are complicating matters even further, as scientists and technicians must increasingly acknowledge the uncertainty and potential fallibility of their findings, and highlight the dynamic nature of the systems they are explaining.This book examines how groups looking to plan and make decisions in any number of areas can wade through the imperfect and often contradictTable of ContentsForeword , Introduction Theory and Practice of Joint Fact-Finding 1.

Taylor & Francis Explaining Risk Analysis
Book SynopsisRisk analysis is not a narrowly defined set of applications. Rather, it is widely used to assess and manage a plethora of hazards that threaten dire implications. However, too few people actually understand what risk analysis can help us accomplish and, even among experts, knowledge is often limited to one or two applications. Explaining Risk Analysis frames risk analysis as a holistic planning process aimed at making better risk-informed decisions and emphasizing the connections between the parts. This framework requires an understanding of basic terms, including explanations of why there is no universal agreement about what risk means, much less risk assessment, risk management and risk analysis. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, the book illustrates the ways in which risk analysis can help lead to better decisions in a variety of scenarios, including the destruction of chemical weapons, management of nuclear waste and the response to passenger rail threats. The book demonstrates how the risk analysis process and the data, models and processes used in risk analysis will clarify, rather than obfuscate, decision-makersâ options.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of risk assessment, risk management, public health, environmental science, environmental economics and environmental psychology.Trade Review"Michael Greenberg’s masterpiece book Explaining Risk Analysis is written in coherent terms, while guided by the Gestalt-holistic thinking. This combination makes the richness and complexity of risk analysis comprehensive to a broad readership. It is a gift to all of us—students, practitioners and scholars--in this ever-challenging and expanding field." – Yacov Haimes, Lawrence Quarles Professor of Engineering, University of Virginia, former President of the Society for Risk Analysis, USA"Michael Greenberg, one of the world’s foremost risk analysis scholars, authors, and practitioners, has written a delightful, thoroughly engaging and accessible introduction to the field of risk analysis, showing how it works, why it matters, and how individuals, organizations, and governments can apply risk assessment and risk management to make the world a better place. The tools introduced and vividly illustrated here with compelling case studies can help to make sense of, and to resolve with sanity and insight, some of the most contentious debates of our time. These include discussions of environmental justice, land use, climate change, responses to terrorism and saner and more effective individual, organizational, and governmental planning under risk and uncertainty. This lucid and fun exposition will benefit not only students, teachers, and practitioners of risk analysis, but also policy analysts and decision-makers who want to manage risks, uncertainties, complexities, and conflicts more effectively." – Tony Cox, Editor-in-Chief of Risk Analysis: An International Journal, and University of Colorado, USATable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Forgotten Agricultural Heritage
Book SynopsisContemporary agriculture is often criticized for its industrial scale, adverse effects on nutrition, rural employment and the environment, and its disconnectedness from nature and culture. Yet there are many examples of traditional smaller scale systems that have survived the test of time and provide more sustainable solutions while still maintaining food security in an era of climate change. This book provides a unique compilation of this forgotten agricultural heritage and is based on objective scientific evaluation and evidence of the value of these systems for present and future generations.The authors refer to many of these systems as Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) and show how they are related to the concepts of heritage and the World Heritage Convention. They demonstrate how GIAHS based on family farms, traditional indigenous knowledge and agroecological principles can contribute to food and nutrition security and the maintenance of agro-Trade Review"This publication is unique both in its scope and coverage.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Democratization and Memories of Violence
Book SynopsisEthnic minority communities make claims for cultural rights from states in different ways depending on how governments include them in policies and practices of accommodation or assimilation. However, institutional explanations don't tell the whole story, as individuals and communities also protest, using emotionally compelling narratives about past wrongs to justify their claims for new rights protections. Democratization and Memories of Violence: Ethnic minority rights movements in Mexico, Turkey, and El Salvador examines how ethnic minority communities use memories of state and paramilitary violence to shame states into cooperating with minority cultural agendas such as the right to mother tongue education. Shaming and claiming is a social movement tactic that binds historic violence to contemporary citizenship. Combining theory with empirics, the book accounts for how democratization shapes citizen experiences of interest representation and how memorialization procTrade Review"From its main question, to its principal lines of argumentation, to its selection of empirical cases, Democratization and Memories of Violence is an important contribution to comparative politics. It demonstrates with uncommon skill how communities across nations and time use the memories of violence to elicit responses from the state and the conditions under which this type of mobilization proves successful." — Omar G. Encarnación, Professor of Political Studies, Bard College, USA"Mneesha Gellman’s Democratization and Memories of Violence brilliantly moves among social movement theory, memory studies, and the strictures of political science to demonstrate how marginalized communities around the world do "shaming and claiming" so states recognize and at times heeding their demands. In doing so, Gellman herself exercises the best of what students of memory and social movements bring to the table: she gives voice to some of the most voiceless of Mexico, El Salvador and Turkey, she makes visible and absolutely politically relevant those who are conventionally rendered less visible. Gellman’s work is instructive for memory and comparative democratization debates across quite distinct global regions." — Katherine Hite, Professor of Political Science, Frederick Ferris Thompson Chair, Vassar College, USA"This book is an excellent resource and contributes greatly to ongoing conversations in the humanities and social sciences on social memory, politics of memory, the relation of ethnic minorities to the state, indigeneity and identity formation, social movements, democracy and democratic transitions—and more." — Ellen Moodie, Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USATable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Climate Change Finance and International Law
Book SynopsisSince 2010, a significant quantity of international climate change finance has begun to reach developing countries. However, the transfer of finance under the international climate change regime the legal and ethical obligations that underpin it, the constraints on its use, its intended outcomes, and its successes, failures, and future potential constitutes a poorly understood topic. Climate Change Finance and International Law fills this gap in the legal scholarship. The book analyses the legal obligations of developed countries to financially support qualifying developing countries to pursue globally significant mitigation and adaptation outcomes, as well as the obligations of the latter under the international regime of financial support. Through case studies of climate finance mechanisms and a multitude of other sources, this book delivers a rich legal and empirical understanding of the implementation of states' climate finance obligations to date.TTable of ContentsIntroduction Climate finance: Concepts and institutions Climate finance in legal scholarship Legal obligations of states relating to climate finance State performance of obligations on climate finance The philosophy of the control of nature

Taylor & Francis Ltd Educating for Sustainability in Japan
Book SynopsisEducating for Sustainable Development (ESD) approaches are holistic and interdisciplinary, values-driven, participatory, multi-method, locally relevant and emphasize critical thinking and problem-solving. This book explains how ESD approaches work in the Japanese context; their effects on different stakeholders; and their ultimate potential contribution to society in Japan. It considers ESD in both formal and informal education sectors, recognizing that even when classroom learning takes place it must be place-based and predicated on a specific community context. The book explores not only Why ESD', but why and how ESD in Japan has gained importance in the past decade and more recently in the wake of the triple disaster of March 2011. It considers how ESD can help Japan recover and adapt to disasters and take initiative in building more resilient and sustainable communities.This volume asks the questions: What are some examples of positive contributions by ESDTable of ContentsIntroductionTop-down and bottom-up ESD: divergence and convergence of Japanese ESD discourses and practices Yoko MochizukiPart I: School-based approachesChapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Corporate Sustainability in the 21st Century
Book SynopsisCorporate sustainability needs a rethink. We have entered the human-influenced Anthropocene age, and we are witnessing accelerating changes in earth system processes. Businesses' current initiatives, such as product innovation and pollution reduction, are not enough to combat the intensifying social-ecological challenges that face us.Corporate Sustainability in the 21st Century is an innovative new textbook which provides a fresh conceptual framework for understanding and engaging with sustainability, now and in the future Business In Nature. This book critically discusses key concepts and topics related to corporate sustainability, with a focus on corporate sustainability strategies and corporate value chains. Setting itself apart from existing books, it introduces ideas from global ecology and the natural sciences to provide readers with a new language for discussing business and sustainability. This book maintains an international perspective throughout, witTrade Review"This is an excellent and very timely book. Our development of knowledge at the nexus of business and the natural environment has provided scholars with a basis for classroom discussions. But the models and nomenclature that we have developed have generally been extensions of business concepts. For the first time, we have a textbook that starts from a different premise. Sardá and Pogutz draw from science to create a more balanced approach to learning that will permit business professionals to understand how they can productively engage with science and scientists on issues critical to the business-environment relationship. This is the clearest pathway to solutions that respect environmental and geophysical realities as well as economic ones."Mike Russo, Lundquist Professor of Sustainable Management and Academic Director, Center for Sustainable Business Practices, University of Oregon"Business needs to shift the sustainability perspective from minimizing its negative impacts to positively contributing to society. This is what we mean with Business Sustainability 3.0 or True Business Sustainability. In this new book, Rafael Sardà and Stefano Pogutz introduce a new framework – Business In Nature – that positions business in a social-ecological systems context. The book provides a systematic and up-to-date overview of approaches, methodologies and tools to manage companies within natural boundaries. Building on more than 20 years of experience in research and teaching in this field, the authors offer helpful examples and cases to show how companies can “truly” address the sustainability challenges of the 21st century." Thomas Dyllick, Managing Director of the Institute for Economy and the Environment (IWÖ-HSG) and Professor at the University of St. Gallen"Written by two leading scholars in the field, this book is a badly needed reading. With the aim of addressing the inescapable environmental challenges, the volume goes beyond trivial catchphrases and mainstream interpretations. It deeply analyzes the strategic implications of the current , multifaceted ecological crisis to identify advanced and viable solutions (that is, innovative policies, new business models, fitting tools) , which make alternative managerial paradigms possible, attractive, and no longer deniable."Antonio Tencati, Full Professor of Management, University of Brescia, Italy"Hundreds of books deal with the problems of the earth's environmental issues, but we have not reached the point of expressing exactly what the problem is. Any element of sustainable development is a real wicked problem. Boulding, who is the father of system theory, in an aphorism summed up the point: "And yet the politicians shudder to think of one hand on one rudder, because nobody can agree on who’s the guiding hand should be." Sustainable development is a phenomenon that we do not agree with in almost anything. Whether it is climate change, hunger or poverty. There are a lot of books that focus on a particular area of the problems, written by excellent professionals, but since the essence of wicked problems is that there is no profession exist which could solve them alone. The scientific literature only transmits fragmented knowledge to the society. The book of Rafael Sarda and Stefano Pogutz is not one book among others which were written to save the Earth. Sarda is a professor of Ecology, and Pogutz is a professor of Management. Usually no communication among the representatives of this professions, and they don’t trust each other either. This book therefore belongs to the category of miracles because it proves that it is possible to create understanding between professions and the benefit of it, that even complex problems can be solved with a multidisciplinary approach. For more than twenty years, the two authors have been trying to transmit to the business students their shared values according to our common future. The book by Rafael Sarda and Stefano Pogutz is the proof of shared values and fruitful co-operation between the two professions. Perhaps the twenty-year-old friendship of the authors and the warmth of the blue sky over the Mediterranean Sea make it possible them to write about complex problems in an understandable way. When we read the book we can be optimistic about the future. The book sends to us the message, we have to change our values, which will be difficult, but we can make it. It would be good for the world if many people would read this thought-rich book!"Sándor Kerekes, Professor Emeritus of Corvinus University BudapestTable of ContentsTheme I Business In Nature 1 Welcome to the Anthropocene; 2 Corporate sustainability in the 21st century; 3 The "Business In Nature" concept; Theme II Rethinking the corporate value chain 4 Driving production systems sustainable; 5 Managing sustainable supply chains; 6 Making sustainable products and services; 7 Innovating business models for sustainability; Theme III Corporate sustainability implementation 8 Designing and implementing a sustainability plan

Taylor & Francis Ltd Renewable Energy and the Public
Book SynopsisThroughout the world, the threat of climate change is pressing governments to accelerate the deployment of technologies to generate low carbon electricity or heat. But this is frequently leading to controversy, as energy and planning policies are revised to support new energy sources or technologies (e.g. offshore wind, tidal, bioenergy or hydrogen energy) and communities face the prospect of unfamiliar, often large-scale energy technologies being sited near to their homes. Policy makers in many countries face tensions between ''streamlining'' planning procedures, engaging with diverse publics to address what is commonly conceived as ''NIMBY'' (not in my back yard) opposition, and the need to maintain democratic, participatory values in planning systems. This volume provides a timely, international review of research on public engagement, in contexts of diverse, innovative energy technologies. Public engagement is conceived broadly - as the interaction between how developers Trade Review'Public acceptance is key to the development of the renewable energy we need to meet our climate goals. Simple stereotypes of NIMBY opposition may work in newspaper headlines, but developers and policymakers need a more sophisticated understanding of what makes people tick and how best to engage. This new volume meets a pressing need - both academics and practitioners will gain from it.' Prof Jim Skea, Research Director, UK Energy Research Centre 'This book provides a broad survey of public perceptions and community reactions to building new low-carbon energy facilities. The chapters treat community resistance (and support) as systematic phenomena to be scientifically studied, opening possibilities for creative action. This is a welcome antidote to the typical reaction by engineers and project developers, treating public opinion as an immutable black box.' Prof. Willett Kempton, Center for Carbon-free Power Integration, University of Delaware, USA 'Extensive research has been done over the last decades on both mitigation and adaptation to climate change in the built environment, but the outputs of much of this research have failed to result in the wider uptake of effective greenhouse gas emission reduction solutions. This book introduces 'fresh thinking' on how this may be done- with chapters from leading experts in fields ranging from philosophy, the social, political and physical sciences, engineering, architecture, mathematics and complexity science.' Renew Magazine 'Patrick Devine-Wright's Renewable Energy and the Public: From NIMBY to Participation takes a broad, multidisciplinary approach to the issue of public engagement for renewable energy products. A multitude of contributors offer a variety of theoretical and empirical analyses of the issue, all of which support Devine-Wright's core argument that traditional means of conceptualizing public and stakeholder positions on renewable energy are overly simplistic, and public engagement processes based on these depictions are insufficient for pursuing the goal of increased renewable energy use in a fair and democratic way.' - Damian Pitt, Journal of Planning Education and ResearchTable of ContentsIntroduction (Patrick Devine-Wright, University of Exeter, UK) Section 1: Conceptual approaches 1.

Taylor & Francis Inc DecisionMaking for a Sustainable Environment
Book SynopsisIncreasingly, environmental decision making is like playing a multidimensional game of chess. With interactions between the atmosphere, the litho-hydrosphere, and the biosphere, the game is at once a measure of complexity, uncertainty, interdisciplinary acuity, social-environmental sustainability, and social justice for all generations. As such, it demands a systemic point of view. Decision Making for a Sustainable Environment: A Systemic Approach gives readers the tools to replace the dysfunctional, symptomatic decision making that has plunged the world into environmental crises with a systemic approach that fosters social-environmental sustainability.A New Paradigm for Environmental Decision MakingBased on the author's more than 45 years of research and broad, international experience, this book guides policy makers and managers to work withrather than withintheoretical and methodological framewTrade Review"Decision Making for a Sustainable Environment is a challenging read on a whole range of levels.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Frugal Value: Designing Business for a Crowded
Book SynopsisWe live in unprecedented times. Climate change and ecosystem collapse are altering our world beyond recognition, and a growing global population is exacerbating the pressure on the resources that power our economies. How should the private sector respond to the new risks and uncertainties of our Crowded Planet? Frugal Value contests the notion that companies can rise to the great challenges of our time by adopting so-called 'sustainable business' practices. Instead, the acute ecological crisis requires an all-round rethink of what business does, and how it does it. This book explores what business responsibility looks like today, and how it could be put into practice through far-reaching changes to companies, ranging from new approaches to product design and business models to reconfiguration of operations and innovative ownership structures. Frugal Value provides practitioners and scholars with the perspective and tools they need to design companies that help drive the socio-economic changes so urgently required for a sustainable and just world.Trade Review'Millstone silences the happy talk about business sustainability and brings the sustainability concept down to earth, literally. Brilliantly, she shows what sustainability truly requires for both individual businesses and for the economic system as a whole. Persuasively argued and well written, Frugal Value is a path-breaking synthesis that deserves an audience far beyond the business community.'James Gustave Speth, former Dean, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, and author of America the Possible: Manifesto for a New Economy'Ambitious, serious, and inspiring. At last someone’s asking the right question. What will it really take to get business on a sustainable path? Millstone's unsparing critique of what passes today for "sustainable business" will provoke furious debate; her alternative lays out an agenda for business to become a real force for good. Required reading.'Paul Gilding, Former Executive Director of Greenpeace International'A well-informed and forthright challenge to conventional wisdom. Love it or hate it, just read it! This is the spirited debate we need today.'Ken Webster, Head of Innovation at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation'Corporate sustainability has made some progress over the last two decades, but nothing like enough. Carina Millstone's insightful book calls time on the 'business case rationale' for companies trying to do the right thing, and urges instead a more radical 'moral case', based on new design and operational principles.' Jonathon Porritt, Founder Director, Forum for the Future'Frugal Value reminds us that sustainability - despite its widespread abuse as a concept over the past 30 years - remains non-negotiable. The Planet cannot be 'traded off' for profit any more than oxygen can traded off for food. Frugal Value is a wake-up call to business leaders and sustainability practitioners alike: neither the 'business case for sustainability' nor current 'sustainable consumption and production' practices will get us anywhere near to the biodiverse and ecologically secure future we need to survive and thrive. Millstone calls attention to the elephant in the room - the current failure of so-called sustainable practices - and with skillful analysis, sketches out a more ambitious, transformational path: the imperative of redesigning our economic system and business models to achieve frugal value.'Professor Wayne Visser, PhD, author of Sustainable Frontiers'This tough-minded book isn’t afraid to cast aside the cherished shibboleths of sustainable business. It asks the hard questions, and points the way forward with challenging answers.'Professor Jem Bendell, Institute For Leadership And Sustainability, University of Cumbria, UK'A book that is unique and much needed…The title will present a new concept, but it is an important one, which I hope will be accepted into common parlance.'Professor Neva Goodwin, Co-Director of the Global Development and Environment Institute, Tufts University'Far from frugal, this book’s recipe for achieving customer satisfaction is through massive reduction in resource use and wide social benefit rather than by sidestepping these issues.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Tourism Development and the Environment: Beyond
Book SynopsisTourism Development and the Environment: Beyond Sustainability? challenges the sustainable tourism development paradigm that has come to dominate both theoretical and practical approaches to tourism development over the last two decades. It extends the sustainable tourism debate beyond the arguably managerialist 'blueprint' and destination-focused approach that continues to characterise even the most recent 'sustainability' agenda within tourism development. Reviewing the evolution of the sustainable tourism development concept, its contemporary manifestations in academic literature and policy developments and processes, the author compares its limitations to prevailing political-economic, socio-cultural and environmental contexts. He then proposes alternative approaches to tourism development which, nevertheless, retain environmental sustainability as a prerequisite of tourism development. This book also acts as an introduction to the Earthscan series Tourism, Environment and Development. About the series: 'Tourism, Environment and Development' aims to explore, within a variety of contexts, the developmental role of tourism as it relates explicitly to its environmental consequences. Each book will review critically and challenge 'traditional' perspectives on (sustainable) tourism development, exploring new approaches that reflect contemporary economic, socio-cultural and political contexts.Trade Review'Tourism Development and the Environment: Beyond Sustainability? is a timely, refreshing, and thought-provoking critique of sustainable tourism development. Challenging us to re-examine the very nature of sustainability, globalisation, and the tourism industry as a capitalist endeavour, it is essential reading [which is] sure to generate future debate.' David J. Telfer, Department of Tourism and Environment, Brock University, Canada 'Is sustainable tourism an idea 'whose time has now passed'? Or does uncritical allegiance to this notion blind us to the substantial economic benefits tourism brings to (differentially structured) global destinations? Sharpley says it does, and his case is cogently argued, empirically-based and compelling. The debate over international tourism has been raised to a new level.' David Harrison, School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, University of the South Pacific, Fiji Islands 'well-crafted biij..recommended to all levels of undergraduate students as well as professionals.' J.R McDonald, Eastern Michigan University, Choice, 2010. 'This is a good book. It is clearly written... is critical of much coventional thinking, and contains succint summaries. As the first substantial critique of sustainability in the context of tourism, it merits serious attention. Furthermore, the book is good value for money and, as such, could be a good choice as a course text, as well as provocative reading for those who continue to espouse sustainable development uncritically.'

Book SynopsisA bestseller on Amazon.com within months of its first release, Alan AtKisson's debut book quickly became a modern classic of sustainability literature. Global companies, grassroots groups, university courses, government agencies, and even the US Army ordered it by the box. Now fully revised and updated, Believing Cassandra: How to be an Optimist in a Pessimist's World is even more relevant, fresh, and motivating than when it first appeared in 1999. In a style that's refreshingly candid and vivid, with unforgettable personal anecdotes, AtKisson provides us with a bridge over the sea of despair, and shows us how to catch the wave to an enticing, sustainable future. He empowers the reader to join the pioneers who created the ideas, techniques and practices of sustainable living - the people who prove Cassandra's warnings wrong, by believing in them, and taking strategic action.Trade Review'Exceptionally readable and erudite ... I see Believing Cassandra as more than a book. I see it as a neurotransmitter that signals to humanity what to do and what not to do....As rigorous as this book is with respect to science and facts, I see it as a blessing, not a warning, a benediction rather than an omen, because the information we need to make the transition from a culture of unimpeded growth to one of humane development is the same information that describes our demise, if it is ignored.' – From the Foreword by Paul Hawken'AtKisson's lively book seeks to encourage its readers to similarly believe in and act to achieve a sustainable future.' – Bryan Walker, hot-topic.co.nzTable of ContentsForeword by Paul Hawken.
