Beskrivning
This book argues that there is no way to make progress in building a sustainable future without extensive participation of non-state actors. The volume explores the contribution of non-state actors to a sustainable transition, starting with citizens and communities of different kinds and ending with cities and city-networks. The authors analyse social, cultural, political and economic drivers and barriers for this transition, from individual behaviour to structural restraints, and investigate interplay between the two. Through a series of wide-ranging case studies from the UK, Australia, Germany, Italy and Denmark, and a number of comparative case studies, the volume provides an empirically and theoretically robust argument that highlights the need to develop, widen and scale up collective action and community-based engagement if the transition to sustainability is to be successful. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, sustainability and environmental policy.

"The critical role of non-state actors from communities to social movements, and trade unions and cities, in accelerating green transitions, has been neglected. This volume makes an important contribution by showcasing examples across actors, sectors, regions and issues. It shows how much innovation there is from below driving transitions that are both socially just and environmentally sustainable." -- Peter Newell, Professor of International Relations, University of Sussex, UK"The corporations have failed us. The politicians have failed us. Who is going to create the sustainable society? This book introduces a great variety of important and realistic sustainability initiatives at the grassroots that go beyond the failing technocratic solutions of the market and the state." – Pasi Heikkurinen, Lecturer in Management at the University of Helsinki, Finland"The need to respect planetary boundaries is acutely recognised. This conceptually and empirically rich collection of essays analyse non-state sustainability initiatives that, together, have significant potential to help navigate the complex challenges ahead. This book should be read by everyone with a stake in sustaining life on earth – in other words, all of us." -- Clare Saunders, Professor of Environmental Politics, Environment and Sustainability Institute, University of Exeter, UK
