The world organizations, including national governments, have already recognized the importance of the Aichi Biodiversity Target, the Paris Agreement, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR), Low Carbon Society. Therefore, there is an urgent need to act locally to tackle socio-economic, socio-ecological, socio-hydrological, and environmental conservation concerns in changing environments on a local to global scale and need to promote scientific solutions and common knowledge to achieve harmony between nature and humans under the threat of global climate change and the post-Covid-19 pandemic situation. For this purpose, the SLD approach is needed towards environmental and social sustainability. However, the SLD approach is challenging in terms of supply and demand of natural resources, resource depletion, socio-economic inequality, biodiversity loss, and climate change risk from local to the global scale, which vary based on different socio-economic, political, geographical, and cultural factors. Therefore, this book will highlight the environmental and social sustainability research by taking the local/regional case study. This book would also highlights the importance of policy interface at a local to global scale for environmental and social sustainability (ESS) in changing environments.

This book examines rural landscapes as dynamic social‑ecological systems shaped by accelerating environmental change, shifting livelihoods, and evolving governance. It brings together interdisciplinary perspectives to show how rural regions function through the interplay of ecology, society, culture, and policy.The volume moves from core conceptual frameworks—including integrated social‑ecological models —to empirical studies spanning Indigenous knowledge systems, land abandonment, pastoralism, sacred groves, climate vulnerability, geo‑hazards, gendered livelihoods, biodiversity conservation, infrastructure expansion, and environmental law. These cases illustrate the diverse pressures and adaptive strategies that characterise contemporary rural environments.Further chapters explore governance innovations, resilience building, adaptation pathways, agroforestry systems, and the possibilities of more just and sustainable rural futures. Across these contributions, the book highlights how ecological integrity and social equity must be addressed together to strengthen rural resilience, support climate adaptation, and sustain biodiversity and livelihoods.Designed for researchers in ecology, geography, environmental social science, sustainability studies, and rural development, this book offers integrative frameworks and actionable insights for analysing and shaping rural change in an era of global transformation.
