Just Transitions provides a comprehensive overview of these challenges from a Global South perspective. The authors ask: How do developing countries eradicate poverty via economic development, while at the same time facing the consequences of global warming and dwindling levels of cheap oil, productive soils, metals, clean water supplies, and forest products? How do they address widening inequalities in income as well as the need to rebuild ecosystem services and natural resources? The book considers the theme of a just transition, which reconciles the sustainable use of natural resources with a pervasive commitment to sufficiency (where overconsumers are satisfied with less so that underconsumers can secure enough). It explores a range of different viewpoints and ideas and synthesizes them to illuminate new ways of thinking from a sustainability perspective. It rethinks development with special reference to the greening of the developmental state, explores the key role that cities could play in the transition to a more sustainably urbanized world, and highlights the neglect of soils in the global discussions around the potential of sustainable agriculture to feed the world. Case studies drawn from the African continent detail the challenges, but they are set in the context of global trends. The authors conclude with their experiences in building a community that aspires to live sustainably. 606 $aSustainable development$zDeveloping countries 606 $aNatural resources$zDeveloping countries$xManagement 606 $aSustainable development$zSouth Africa 606 $aDe?veloppement durable$zAfrique du Sud 606 $aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS$xIndustries$xGeneral$2bisacsh 607 $aDeveloping countries$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aSustainable development 615 0$aNatural resources$xManagement. 615 0$aSustainable development 615 6$aDe?veloppement durable 615 7$aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS$xIndustries$xGeneral. 676 $a338.9/27091724 700 $aSwilling$b Mark$0897118 701 $aAnnecke$b Eve$01809108 801 0$bE7B 801 1$bE7B 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bYDXCP 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bN$T 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bEBLCP 801 2$bDEBSZ 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bTEFOD 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bAZK 801 2$bLOA 801 2$bMOR 801 2$bPIFAG 801 2$bZCU 801 2$bOTZ 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bMERUC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bU3W 801 2$bSTF 801 2$bWRM 801 2$bCOCUF 801 2$bICG 801 2$bVT2 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bDKC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bSXB 801 2$bWYU 801 2$bTKN 801 2$bYDX 801 2$bOCLCE 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910993984803321 996 $aJust transitions$94359725 997 $aUNINA 999 $9University of Cape Town
