Book
Dynamic Sustainabilities Technology, Environment, Social Justice
Author: Melissa Leach, Ian Scoones, Andy Stirling
This book tackles the pressing issues of environmental sustainability, poverty reduction, and social justice, emphasizing the need to harness science and technology for the benefit of the poor. Despite increasing global attention and investment in these areas, policy efforts often fall short. The book proposes a new 'pathways approach' to address these challenges, recognizing the dynamic and complex nature of our world. By understanding different narratives and values, the pathways approach offers alternative ways to tackle sustainability issues effectively. It provides practical tools, methods, and political engagement strategies, illustrated through case studies on water scarcity in dry land India, agricultural seeds in Africa, responses to epidemic diseases, and energy systems in the context of climate change. Published in partnership with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the book aims to offer actionable solutions to pressing global challenges.
