A multidisciplinary examination of alternative framings of
environmental problems, with using examples from forest, water,
energy, and urban sectors. Does being an environmentalist mean
caring about wild nature? Or is environmentalism synonymous with
concern for future human well-being, or about a fair apportionment
of access to the earth's resources and a fair sharing of pollution
burdens? Environmental problems are undoubtedly one of the most
salient public issues of our time, yet environmental scholarship
and action is marked by a fragmentation of ideas and approaches
because of the multiple ways in which these environmental problems
are "framed." Diverse framings prioritize different values and
explain problems in various ways, thereby suggesting different
solutions. Are more inclusive framings possible? Will this enable
more socially relevant, impactful research and more concerted
action and practice? This book takes a multidisciplinary look at
these questions using examples from forest, water, energy, and
urban sectors. It explores how different forms of environmentalism
are shaped by different normative and theoretical positions, and
attempts to bridge these divides. Individual perspectives are
complemented by comprehensive syntheses of the differing framings
in each sector. By self-reflectively exploring how researchers
study and mobilize evidence about environmental problems, the book
opens up the possibility of alternative framings to advance
collaborative and integrated understanding of environmental
problems and sustainability challenges.
