The potential conflict among economic and ecological goals has formed the central fault line of environmental politics in the United States and most other countries since the 1970s. The accepted view is that efforts to protect the environment will detract from economic growth, jobs, and global competitiveness. Conversely, much advocacy on behalf of the environment focuses on the need to control growth and avoid its more damaging effects. This offers a stark choice between prosperity and growth, on the one hand, and ecological degradation on the other. Stopping or reversing growth in most countries is unrealistic, economically risky, politically difficult, and is likely to harm the very groups that should be protected. At the same time, a strategy of unguided "growth above all" would cause ecological catastrophe.Over the last decade, the concept of green growth -- the idea that the right mix of policies, investments, and technologies will lead to beneficial growth within ecological limits -- has become central to global and national debates and policy due to the financial crisis and climate change. As Daniel J. Fiorino argues, in order for green growth to occur, ecological goals must be incorporated into the structure of the economic and political systems. In this book, he looks at green growth, a vast topic that has heretofore not been systematically covered in the literature on environmental policy and politics. Fiorino looks at its role in global, national, and local policy making; its relationship to sustainable development; controversies surrounding it (both from the left and right); its potential role in ameliorating inequality; and the policy strategies that are linked with it. The book also examines the political feasibility of green growth as a policy framework. While he focuses on the United States, Fiorino will draw comparisons to green growth policy in other countries, including Germany, China, and Brazil.

Building on the classical works that have propelled and shaped ecosocialist thinking and action and more recent political developments on the ground, the volume will provide a reference point for international work in the field, both directly political and academic.
The Handbook acquaints readers with the varied roots of and sometimes conflicting approaches to ecosocialism. It does not attempt any unification of ecosocialist currents. Rather, it aims to provide a resource that is as comprehensive as possible with respect not only to theorization and ideological framing, but also and especially to existing projects, practices, and movements and giving a sense of the geographical reach that ecosocialism so far represents. This includes scholarship that extends Marxist foundations and reflects on more recent political developments. The theoretical and practice-oriented moorings are buttressed by discussions on movements, frameworks, and prefigurative processes as well as on social struggles occurring within institutional settings. Together, the collection offers a reference point for international work in the field, in social movements, and in institutional transformations.
Providing detailed but accessible overviews of the complex, varied dimensions of ecosocialism, the Handbook is an essential up-to-date guide and reference not only for researchers, but also for undergraduate and graduate students in geography, environmental studies, development studies, sociology, and political science, as well as for policymakers and activists.

Global environmental negotiations have become central sites for studying the interaction between politics, power, and environmental degradation. This book challenges what constitutes the sites, actors, and processes of negotiations beyond conventional approaches and provides a critical, multidisciplinary, and applied perspective reflecting recent developments, such as the increase of actor diversity and the digitalisation of global environmental meetings. It provides a step-by-step guide to the study of global environmental negotiations using accessible language and illustrative examples from different negotiation settings, including climate change, biodiversity, and ocean protection. It introduces the concept of 'agreement-making' to broaden understanding of what is studied as a 'site' of negotiation, illustrating how diverse methods can be applied to research the actors, processes, and order-making. It provides practical guidance and methodological tools for students, researchers and practitioners participating in global environmental agreement-making. One of a series of publications associated with the Earth System Governance Project: www.cambridge.org/earth-system-governance.

The aim of this Element is to forge new conceptual tools to give more ecological power to the human imagination. Imagination, both an innovative force and one that distances and blinds, is central to the ecological crisis as well as its potential resolution. Human imagination creates a bubble of denial, fostering the illusion of a smooth, reassuring, controlled, and neatly compartmentalized world. This Element critically contrasts the harmful modern concepts of reality and imagination with a more grounded "earthly" and "animal" imagination. It proposes to overcome the tension between two currents in environmental thought: those advocating imagination for utopian transformation, and proponents of realism, urging confrontation with the material world beyond anthropocentrism. Through analysis of key contemporary environmental work alongside insights from ethology and biosemiotics, the Element underpins the concept of "animal imagination," offering an alternative approach to environmental imagination and activism that fosters deeper engagement with the living world.

Solar geoengineering (SG) is a set of highly controversial emerging technologies proposed to address climate change by reflecting sunlight away from the planet to reduce temperatures. SG may reduce climate risks, however it also presents novel risks, uncertainties, and challenges, necessitating broad and inclusive public engagement. This Element presents a briefing book and methods toolkit to build capacity for public engagement on SG. Part I of the Element explains the need to build capacity to enable public engagement on solar geoengineering, and presents three methods for doing so: capacity building workshops, participatory Technology Assessment, and Deliberative Polling. Part II presents a briefing book that provides accessible, balanced, and evidence-based information on critical topics including climate science, climate policy, SG science, SG governance and policy, and SG ethics and justice. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

The Populist Logic on the Environment provides a framework that draws from populism’s essence to explain populist politicians’ approaches to the environment.Over the past few decades, populism has spread across the world – particularly in Europe, but also notably in the US, South America, and Asia. Its essential features – especially its ideological 'thinness' – mean that we can observe considerable variations across populists in their environmental stances. This holds across the political spectrum from the left to the right, despite the traditional tendency of right-wing parties to be skeptical of pro-environmental positions and of left-wing parties to subscribe to them. Regardless of variations, however, ‘true populists’ can be expected to consistently anchor environmental stances in people-centrism and anti-elitism – in ways linked to additional party-specific factors. This book systematizes analytically what the literature observes, corrects some of its empirical limitations, and allows for reflection on the commitment by any one populist party to the environment. The authors undertake a cross-regional analysis of four case studies to illustrate their argument: Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in France, the US Republican Party led by Donald Trump, Spain’s Podemos led by Pablo Iglesias, and Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro’s socialist regime in Venezuela.This book will appeal to scholars and students of political science, public policy, environmental studies, sociology, and geography, as well as a general audience interested in populism and the environment.

This book shifts the focus of Iran's environmental crises from policy failures and technocratic mismanagement to the lived experiences of those at the periphery: non-Persian national communities, rural populations, farmers and displaced peoples. Drawing on original narratives and critical analysis, it reveals how water scarcity, mega-dams, interbasin water transfers and unsustainable development intersect with long histories of marginalisation, extractive industries and securitised state responses. Allan Hassaniyan highlights how environmental degradation has become a matter of survival for Iran's subalterns, exposing the deeply political dimensions of Iranian ecology.Bridging environmental studies, political ecology and critical area studies, this timely work fills a significant gap in English-language scholarship, as well as spotlighting the unequal and often devastating consequences of the state's environmental crisis for its most vulnerable communities.

Den femtioårige författaren ser tillbaka på sina sena tonår i en orolig tid med revolution i Ryssland, spanska sjukan härjande i Sverige och med många arbetslösa vandrande längs vägarna på jakt efter jobb, mat och tak över huvudet. Berättelsen är enligt författaren till 70 % sanning och vi får följa den unge svartlistade rallaren Birger från kraftverksbygget i Häggenås via potatisplockning vid Frösö läger till påhugg vid Avesta Järnverk och Hallstaviks pappersbruk. Slutligen går färden mot äventyrsböckernas vildmark och livet som björnjägare på Blaikfjället mellan Dorotea och Vilhelmina i södra Lappland där det höll på att gå riktigt illa. Tonåringens kamp med livets stora frågor och inte minst med relationen till ”Kvinnan” skildras med ömhet, förståelse och en stor portion humor. Sin kända och erkända förmåga att skriva friskt och spännande har Bernhard Nordh tagit med sig i detta självbiografiska arbete.
Bernhard Nordh (1900 -1972) var en av Sveriges i särklass mest älskade och lästa författare under fem decennier. I ordets bästa bemärkelse var han en ”folkförfattare”. Sitt stora genombrott fick han 1937 med romanen I Marsfjällets skugga. Bernhard Nordh var av statarsläkt från trakten av Tierp i Uppland. Han rörde sig i ungdomen över stora områden i Sverige sökande efter arbete. Han var politiskt radikal och stod syndikalisterna nära. Till yrken han prövat hör rallare, skogsarbetare, gjutare och torvarbetare. Sin första novell sålde Nordh till veckopressen 1926. Sina vandringsår har författaren skildrat i de självbiografiska böckerna Kämpa mot ödet (1949) och I min gröna ungdom (1951). Nordh debuterade som romanförfattare med Jorden är god (1936) och skrev totalt tjugosju romaner, varav ett tjugutal är norrlandsskildringar. Romanen Flickan från fjällbyn såldes 1945 i sextiotusen ex på fyra veckor vilket då var svenskt bokrekord. Totalt har Nordhs romaner i Sverige tryckts i nära tre miljoner ex. Hans böcker har översatts till sju språk och tre har filmatiserats. Sommaren 1936 anlände Bernhard Nordh till Marsliden och fick god kontakt med innevånarna i byn. På underlag av deras berättelser och dåtida dokument skrev han romanerna I Marsfjällets skugga (1937) och Fjällfolk (1938), som beskriver fjällbyns tillblivelse och första uppodling under det sena 1800-talet. Han beskriver möten mellan samer och nybyggare ovanför odlingsgränsen och betonar gärna inslag av spänning i handlingen. Han befolkar vildmarken, ger den röst och konturfasta kroppar och undersöker den tankerymd som växte fram mellan de människor som i mitten av 1800-talet dristigt sökte sig längre upp mot fjällen för att bli nybyggare, och få en bit mark och ett liv som de kunde känna var deras eget. Det är ett liv fullt av umbäranden, av bokstavlig daglig kamp för brödfödan och livet, men ändå skildrat med värdighet och självklar respekt. Bernhard Nordh har sitt särskilda signum som författare i förmågan att sinnliggöra och synliggöra. Sida vid sida med den naturegna dramatiken, till exempel i kampen mellan en vargflock och en älgtjur, blir de mänskliga känslodramerna helt rimliga. Då är det inte ”vildmarksromantik”, då är det på riktigt. Bernhard Nordhs berättelser har den kvaliteten – den står sig än idag; det smakar, doftar, känns och berör. (Delvis från Annelie Bränström Öhmans text i Bernhard Nordh-sällskapets årsskrift 2014)

Boken är en sammanställning av ett antal publicerade artiklar, som redogör för några av de viktigaste sammanhangen i svensk elförsörjning och energipolitik. Artiklarna är delvis detaljerade analyser och delvis lättsamma betraktelser över vad som gått fel. Hur kom det sig att svensk elförsörjning på bara ett par år gick från att ha varit oproblematisk och billig till en situation som präglas av brist och höga priser? Hur kunde man lägga ner kärnkraftverk fastän det fanns planer på ökad elanvändning? Är verkligen vindkraften så bra som de säger? Vilket kraftslag ger de lägsta elpriserna? Vad har utländskt ägande fått för effekter på elförsörjningen? Vad får elkrisen för konsekvenser?Dessa och många andra frågor besvaras i boken.

As the world looks for solutions to address climate change amid growing concerns regarding negative environmental impacts caused by human habits, the problem of plastics is gaining momentum. There is a sober awareness that pollution caused by plastics needs a more aggressive approach while designing policies to prevent future plastic dependency and mismanagement. Nevertheless, plastics are here to stay as they provide some important functions for today's societal needs. Therefore, plastic substitutes are not a solution to be implemented overnight without a carefully designed and informed set of policies, as well as a system that would incentivise such substitution and prevent any further potential harm to the environment and human health. For plastic substitutes to become a viable solution in the mid and long-term, decisive global action is needed today. Moving away from silo policies and towards coherence and coordination between measures to address plastic pollution across the plastic life cycle and in favor of circular economies is an important initial step

To meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, parties are required to prepare, communicate, and update their successive Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) every five years, aiming for the highest possible ambition. NDCs represent each country's commitment to reducing emissions, adapting to climate impacts, and promoting sustainable development. The first global stock-take under the Paris Agreement, which concluded in December 2023 at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), noted significant, albeit insufficient, progress toward the goals of the Paris Agreement. It called for a comprehensive transformation across all sectors, which is essential to lowering emissions, strengthening resilience, and mobilizing resources in a just and sustainable manner to accelerate and enhance efforts to meet the agreed-upon goals. Addressing the challenges of climate change requires a comprehensive and integrated approach that connects climate policy with broader economic and development strategies. Effective climate action needs to be closely linked to human capital development, industrial strategy, climate policy—including carbon pricing as part of the policy mix available to countries—and climate-aligned trade and investment policies. Moreover, integrating climate ambitions into national and subnational development plans, economic strategies, and sectoral policies is essential for promoting policy coherence and maximizing synergies between climate action, economic growth, and social development. In this context, international trade plays a critical role in advancing the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the SDGs. It facilitates access to environmentally friendly goods and services, technology, and knowledge—particularly those essential for the implementation of NDCs and mitigation and adaptation plans—while supporting the development of climate-resilient and resource-efficient value chains. This guide provides policymakers with a six-step process to better integrate trade-related measures into NDCs.

I love myself. I love myself. I love myself. Even when he didn’t believe it (especially when he didn’t believe it).This meditation grew in the form of a system of tools for keeping him positive, balanced, and moving forward. Kamal’s spiritual healing changed his physical and emotional states, and his entire person shifted for the better.Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It is the powerful story of Kamal’s radical self-growth journey and his specific practice for readers. Dynamic, vulnerable, page-turning and ultimately life-changing, these pages hold a universal appeal for anyone who has ever struggled to get out of bed in the morning or smile through profound sadness.

The artist Celia Pym lives in London and has been exploring damage and repair in textiles since 2007. Working with garments that belong to individuals as well as items in museum archives, she has broad experience with stories of damage, from moth holes to accidents with fire. Textile language crops up in the body: mending language works on the body as well as on garments. We describe the body as mending after illness or injury – ‘I’m on the mend,’ someone might say if they’re feeling better. You might hear a doctor or nurse describe a broken bone as ‘mending well’, or broken bones are often described as knitting back together as the break heals. Pym is interested in exploring the varied evidence of damage, and how repair draws attention to the places where garments and cloth wear down and grow thin. These personal tales document the intimate damage caused to clothing by everyday use and the parallels with the consequent wear and tear on the body.Mending work builds on what is left behind. It’s not replacing, or remaking, or cutting apart and putting back together, instead it is slow work that makes things better. It conjures an unhurried recovery or change. In textiles, the act of mending wear-and-tear, thinning cloth or accidental damage builds on what already exists, anchoring threads and yarn into the robust healthy fabric and filling in the holes or reinforcing the areas that are weak.‘Darning is small acts of care,’ she says, ‘and paying close attention.’

A radical vision for a better future: an economy that works for us, rather than the other way around.As this major German bestseller reports, our world is at a tipping point, and we feel it every day. Costs are rising, the gap between the rich and poor is increasing, natural resources are depleted, and the effects of climate change are starting to take hold. We are under increasing social and environmental stress. But, as leading economist Maja Göpel argues here, there is another path forward.She invites us to imagine what we want our future to look like, and offers solutions that will help us to get there. It’s time to question our principles, set new goals, and re-evaluate our priorities. Time to rethink our world and find new ways of living that don’t drain our planet any further. We need a fair distribution of wealth, and a way to reconcile the social with the ecological. We need to work smarter, not harder.Critical, yet full of encouragement, Maja Göpel chooses surprising and enlightening examples to illustrate how we can leave behind our familiar ways of living to achieve a better future.

** SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE**** SHORTLISTED FOR THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL WRITING AWARD - TRAVEL MEMOIR OF THE YEAR **'A beautiful and magnificent book. A paean to a simple act. I defy you to read this book and not be inspired to walk, march or hike - and as a result live a better life more connected with nature and the world around you.' - Simon Reeve'A lovely book, fast-flowing yet at every turn giving the reader pause for thought. Kate Humble makes a delightful companion, her words full of sunshine and the raw pleasure she radiates as she encounters life in its many unexpected forms.' - Benedict Allen'A lovely, civilised and transporting read, that should have all of us stepping out to meet the world with fresh eyes.' - Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall'An enticing read that makes every walk Humble describes an adventure' - Ranulph Fiennes'I've discovered that going for a daily walk has become as essential to me feeling good for the rest of the day as that first cup of tea. But I would argue that all I am doing is responding to a natural need we all have. Humans have always been migrants, the physiological urge to be nomadic is deep-rooted in all of us and perhaps because of that our brains are stimulated by walking. I solve all sorts of problems, formulate ideas, work things out to that gentle rhythm of self-propelled movement.' - Kate HumbleThinking on My Feet tells the story of Kate's walking year - shining a light on the benefits of this simple activity. Kate's inspiring narrative not only records her walks (and runs) throughout a single year, but also charts her feelings and impressions throughout - capturing the perspectives that only a journey on foot allows - and shares the outcomes: a problem solved, a mood lifted, an idea or opportunity borne. As she explores the reasons why we walk, whether for creative energy, challenge and pleasure, or therapeutic benefits, Kate's reflections and insights will encourage, motivate and spur readers into action.Also featured are Kate's walks with others who have discovered the magical, soothing effect of putting one foot in front of the other - the artist who walks to find inspiration for his next painting; the man who takes people battling with addiction to climb mountains; the woman who walked every footpath in Wales (3,700 miles) when she discovered she had cancer.This book will inspire you to change your perspective by applying walking to your daily endeavours.*PRAISE FOR THINKING ON MY FEET * 'A diary of sorts, charting a year of wonderful walks through the sun, wind and rain...each entry builds an image of her life in the great out
