Taylor & Francis Ltd Planmaking for Sustainability The New Zealand
Book SynopsisAround the introduction of Agenda 21 at Rio in 1991, some countries like the Netherlands and New Zealand were already leading the way with quite innovative approaches to environmental planning. Focusing on the New Zealand government''s innovations in sustainable and environmental planning, particularly the Resource Management Act of 1991, this book highlights planning and governance under devolved and co-operative mandates. It uses multiple methods to evaluate the quality of policy statements and district plans prepared by regional and local councils respectively, as well as the various inter- and intra-organizational and institutional factors affecting them. It also analyses the quality of the plans'' implementation through the consensus or permits process, and the quality of the environmental outcomes.Trade Review'Plan-making for Sustainability provides a sobering review of New Zealand's experiment in mandating comprehensive planning. The authors bring a wealth of experience and data to provide a balanced, insightful, and highly readable assessment ...The book is essential reading for those who seek to understand the challenges of implementing intergovernmental planning mandates.' Professor Peter J. May, University of Washington, USA 'Neil Ericksen and colleagues have produced an important and fascinating evidence-based analysis of the challenges faced in implementing the pioneering New Zealand Resource Management Act. Their research approach and findings are of considerable relevance, internationally, for all those concerned with planning for sustainability.' Professor John Glasson, Oxford Brookes University, UKTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: from Rio to RMA: great expectations. Part I: Approaches to Planning and Governance: Planning mandates: from theory to practice; Making plans: from theory to practice. Part II: Intergovernmental Planning in New Zealand: Central government: walking the talk; Regional government: a non-partner; Mãori interests: elusive partnership. Part III: Plan Quality and Capability Under the RMA: Regional councils: lightweight policy statements and limited capability; District councils: mixed results in planning and capability; Influencing factors: linking mandates, councils, capability and quality. Part IV: Local Case Studies: Far North District: resisting innovation; Queenstown Lakes District: development meets environment; Tauranga District: policy coherence on the coast; Tasman District: political populism; Conclusion: a decade on: unfulfilled expectations. Appendices: Key provisions of the RMA affecting local government functions; Methodology; Plan coding protocol; References cited; Index.

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.

For too long, the world's problems have been viewed through the narrow conceptual lenses of the Global North. This book lays the groundwork for a new approach a truly global approach to political economy.We are currently facing multiple and overlapping international crises. The current economic crisis, characterized by deepening inequalities, is closely intertwined with intensifying geopolitical rivalries and the environmental crisis. The dialogues in this book aim to move beyond the Eurocentric tradition and bring voices from the Global South to the forefront of the debate. Covering 11 key themes drawn from the United Nations' Agenda 2030, the book conceptualizes democracy, development, and sustainability not only as strategies, but also as values that are integrated into the same Table of ContentsPREFACE ANDREAS BIELER & MARCIO POCHMANN INTRODUCTION CRISTINA REIS & TATIANA BERRINGER DIALOGUES 1.

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.
