Compared to 20 years ago, the jobs many people do today are
increasingly characterised by low pay and insecurity, while
countless others cope with workplace stress and ill-health. At the
same time the consequences of our current model of economic
activity are creating dangerous and critical changes in the
planet's climate. Until recently debates around these two issues
have had little contact with each other. This book demonstrates
that there are definite and complex connections between degraded
jobs and a degraded environment, that neither the dominant economic
model nor the rate at which we exploit the planet's resources are
sustainable and that the limits for both may be reached sooner
rather than later. By bringing together insights from critical
thinkers in a range of disciplines, the book discusses the
requirements and characteristics for work to be at the same time
economically, socially and environmentally sustainable and examines
the potential for alternative routes to sustainable work in
policies and actions that support both the natural environment and
worker well-being. The book will be of interest to researchers,
academics and students in the fields of HRM, labour studies,
employment relations, sociology, environmental studies and
sustainability. It is particularly relevant for those focusing on
the link between labour and climate change. It is also highly
relevant to policymakers, trade unions and NGOs looking at decent
work and sustainability.
