This book calls for more holistic place-based action to address the
social and environmental crisis, deploying the Deep Place approach
as one contribution to the toolbox of actions that will underpin
the UN Decade of Action towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
The authors suggest that 'place' is a critical window on how to
conceive a resolution to the multiple and overlapping crises. As
well as diagnosing the problem (the world as it is), this book also
offers a normative advocacy (the world as it could/should be and
proposed pathways to get there). A series of 'Deep Place' case
studies from the UK, Australia, and Vanuatu help to illustrate this
approach. Ultimately, the book argues for the need for a real and
green 'new deal' and identifies what this should be like. It
suggests that a new economic order, whilst eventually inevitable,
requires radical change. This will not be easy but will be
essential given the current impasse, caused, not least by the
conjunction of carbon-based, neoliberal capitalism in crisis and
the multifactorial global ecological crisis. Ultimately, it
concludes that there is a need to develop a new model of
'regenerative collectivism' to overcome these crises. This book
will be of interest to academics, policy practitioners, and social
and climate justice advocates/activists.
