It states that the societal fault lines of our times are deeply intertwined and that they confront us with challenges affecting the security, fairness and sustainability of our societies. The author, Prof. Dr. Patrick Huntjens, argues that overcoming these existential challenges will require a fundamental shift from our current anthropocentric and economic growth-oriented approach to a more ecocentric and regenerative approach. He advocates for a Natural Social Contract that emphasizes long-term sustainability and the general welfare of both humankind and planet Earth. Achieving this crucial balance calls for an end to unlimited economic growth, overconsumption and over-individualisation for the benefit of ourselves, our planet, and future generations. To this end, sustainability, health, and justice in all social-ecological systems will require systemic innovation and prioritizing a collective effort. The Transformative Social-Ecological Innovation (TSEI) framework presented in this book serves that cause. It helps to diagnose and advance innovation and spur change across sectors, disciplines, and at different levels of governance. Altogether, TSEI identifies intervention points and formulates jointly developed and shared solutions to inform policymakers, administrators, concerned citizens, and professionals dedicated towards a more sustainable, healthy and just society. A wide readership of students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in social innovation, transition studies, development studies, social policy, social justice, climate change, environmental studies, political science and economics will find this cutting-edge book particularly useful. 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aSustainability 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects 606 $aHuman ecology 606 $aSocial Justice 606 $aSustainability 606 $aSocial Policy 606 $aEnvironmental Social Sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Anthropology 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aHuman ecology. 615 14$aSocial Justice. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aEnvironmental Social Sciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Anthropology. 676 $a303.372 700 $aHuntjens$b Patrick$01058513 702 $aHuntjens$b Patrick$f1974-$4aut 702 $aKemp$b René$f1961-$4apr 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910473446803321 996 $aTowards a Natural Social Contract$92500321 997 $aUNINA
