Just Transitions

Explorations of Sustainability in an Unfair World

Ed.: Vereinte Nationen; Mark Swilling; Eva Annecke

Beschreibung

The theme of a just transition reconciles the sustainable use of natural resources with a pervasive commitment to sufficiency. It explores the logics of a range of different literatures and synthesizes them to illuminate new ways of thinking from a sustainability perspective. It rethinks development with a special reference to the greening of the developmental state, explores the key role that cities could play in the transition to a more sustainably urbanized world, and highlights the neglect of soils in the global discussions around the potential of sustainable agriculture to feed the world.
