Just Transitions: Explorations of Sustainability in an Unfair World

Current economic growth strategies around the world are rapidly depleting the natural resources and ecosystem services that we depend on. Just Transitions provides a comprehensive overview of these challenges from a Global South perspective. The authors ask: How do developing countries eradicate poverty via economic development, while at the same time facing the consequences of global warming and dwindling levels of cheap oil, productive soils, metals, clean water supplies, and forest products? How do they address widening inequalities in income as well as the need to rebuild ecosystem services and natural resources? Softcover. English. UCT Press. 2012. ISBN: 9280812033. 360pp. Good condition in slightly worn softcovers. Book No: 48759
