Sommario/riassunto

Despite its potential to unlock socio-economic benefits in rural and protected areas in a manner that addresses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), rural and protected areas tourism is yet to be thoroughly examined by academics, scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. This lack of exploration has undermined the potential benefits associated with tourism development in rural and protected areas. Given the complexity of rural tourism, this contributed volume explores current and future debates on the subject using cases in Southern Africa. The book is useful for various audiences, including tourism academics, planners, cultural and heritage practitioners, and rural development planners. The topics covered include gender, transformation, service delivery, visitor experience, wildlife tourism, and host-community tourism interaction.

Sommario/riassunto

“Robin Hahnel’s Climate Change Policy not only offers a compelling account of what needs to be done to address the climate crisis but also tells the encouraging story of what is already being done by states and cities around the country. Worth reading for anyone who wants to join the fight for our future.” —James K. Boyce, University of Massachusetts Amherst “This book demands attention.” —Tom Athanasiou, EcoEquity “A comprehensive and important guide to the fix we're in—and the paths out!” —Bill McKibben, Middlebury College and author of Here Comes the Sun “An indispensable guide toward creating a livable future.” —Robert Pollin, University of Massachusetts Amherst The threat of climate change increases with each passing moment, and it’s time for economists, policymakers, and climate scientists to work together to address this. In this Palgrave Pivot, political economist Robin Hahnel offers useful ways to make a difference when it comes to climate policy. The book begins by making clear that not enough is being done to slow the impact of climate change. Hahnel breaks down what is being done in some states and cities in the US and provides expert insights into important national-level initiatives that began under the Biden–Harris Administration. Chapters explore international climate negotiations—the good, the bad, and the ugly—offering a realistic approach to policies that impact our environment. The book ends with a nod to action, optimism, and strength. Hahnel explains not just whether, but also why, there is still reason to push for international climate action before it is too late. Written for individuals working within and interested in policy, climate, and political economy, the book will inspire creative responses to climate change. Robin Hahnel is Professor Emeritus at the American University in Washington, DC.
