The book discusses how to tackle long-term social and ecological
problems by using different environmental governance approaches to
creating sustainable development. It explores opportunities and
requirements for the governance of long-term problems, and examines
how to achieve a lasting transformation. When investments are made
to mitigate climate change or preserve biodiversity, future
generations can reap benefits from the efforts of the present
generation. However, long-term social-ecological change towards
sustainable development is disrupted by the fact that the costs and
benefits of action are seen by different generations. With a global
focus that includes case studies from Europe, Asia, Africa, and
North America, this book attempts to address the difficulty of
developing and implementing effective long-term governance
solutions. The authors examine what distinguishes long-term
problems from other policy problems, what governance responses are
available and used, and how different governance mechanisms, namely
economic incentives, participation, as well as knowledge and
learning, help to address them. Combining the perspectives on the
different governance approaches and featuring cases studies on
national, regional and global issues, Long-Term Governance for
Social-Ecological Change will be of interest to policy-makers,
students and scholars of global environmental governance,
development, sustainability, politics, economics, law and
sociology.
