Opis

The challenges we face in combating climate change and building a more sustainable world are complex and urgent. We have no option but to make things work for the better: Earth is, after all, the only home we have. Focusing on the future of humanity and of the planet itself, this timely and accessible book explores the links between politics, learning, and sustainability that must be forged in order to succeed in meeting these challenges. As the contributors show, we need to bring about a fundamental change in the way we practice politics and economics, incorporating a lifelong commitment to sustainability in all learning. With widespread implications, this book will be vital reading for academics and students across a variety of related fields, including politics, public policy, education, sustainable development, geography, media, and international relations.
