The Role Of Non-State Actors In The Green Transition Building A Sustainable Future | Environment & Sustainability

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 Role of Non-State Actors in the Green Transition Building a Sustainable Future | Environment & Sustainability
