With the rapid destabilization, escalation and convergence of
various environmental crises, global environmental politics is
facing extreme turbulence. Tracing the causes, consequences and
dangers of planetary turbulence, this essential book identifies the
emerging opportunities to improve governance in environmental
politics and transition the world order toward greater equity,
justice and sustainability. Providing a comprehensive understanding
of the nature and breadth of global environmental politics, leading
scholars investigate the intersecting crisis events of this
turbulent era. Chapters explore the political, environmental and
economic issues surrounding growing inequality: soaring food and
fuel prices; record numbers of migrants and refugees fleeing
persecution and destitution; and the intensification of climate
change. Finding the sources of turbulence to be overlapping and
reinforcing, the book digs deeper into how various actors generate
turbulence, looking closely at state sovereignty, civil society and
societal organizations. Forward thinking, it reflects how different
practices, conditions, lenses, and tools can create future avenues
to imagine, facilitate, and actualize solutions for global
sustainability during times of extreme turbulence.
Interdisciplinary and international in scope, this insightful book
will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars of
environmental politics, policy, and governance; alongside
policymakers and organizations looking to realize the Sustainable
Development Goals.
