This volume advances the state-of-the-art in the study of the
interplay among financial crises, poverty dynamics and
environmental sustainability. It offers timely and unique
contributions to the immediate global challenge of sustainable
development. Developing a new evidence-base, the volume offers
concrete recommendations for policy action needed in advancing the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in relation to environment and
poverty during the current conditions of financial distress. The
approach taken is inductive and evidence-driven. Most analysis is
based on in-depth case studies that aim to offer a detailed and
dynamic picture on how poverty and environmental sustainability
interact in specific social contexts and financial crises. In this
way the volume aims to generate a wealth of new and concrete
evidence that offer a solid foundation to understand the multiple
channels through which social and environmental factors interact,
and the ways in which this interaction can and should be managed in
order to achieve the needed global transition to sustainability.
Broader dynamics that are covered and analysed include the
historical legacies of structural adjustment and colonialism; the
current debt wave experienced in developing countries; the role of
inequality; the significant impact that climate change has on
livelihoods and on meeting the SDGs; the new challenge presented by
the Covid-19 pandemic for the SDGs; the challenge of sustainable
funding for SDGs; and the need for a new eco-social contract.
Case-studies examined include Cambodia, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia,
Zambia, and subregions such as the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa
and Lower Mekong Countries. The volume is part of a joint
initiative by the 'Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP)'
of the University of Sussex, the 'UNDP-UNEP Poverty-Environment
Action for Sustainable Development Goals' and the 'United Nations
Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD)'. The overall
aim is to advance a new research programme and foster a better
understanding of the multiple, complex and often opposing ways
through which the punctuated economic slowdown of financial crises,
poverty dynamics and environmental sustainability interact. It also
makes novel recommendations into how poverty reduction and
environment can work in synergy rather than being antagonistic,
especially during financial distress, leading into recommendations
directly geared towards achieving the SDGs and beyond.
