Reviews

The critical role of non-state actors from communities to social movements, and trade unions and cities, in accelerating green transitions, has been neglected. This volume makes an important contribution by showcasing examples across actors, sectors, regions and issues. It shows how much innovation there is from below driving transitions that are both socially just and environmentally sustainable. -- Peter Newell, Professor of International Relations, University of Sussex, UK The corporations have failed us. The politicians have failed us. Who is going to create the sustainable society? This book introduces a great variety of important and realistic sustainability initiatives at the grassroots that go beyond the failing technocratic solutions of the market and the state. - Pasi Heikkurinen, Lecturer in Management at the University of Helsinki, Finland The need to respect planetary boundaries is acutely recognised. This conceptually and empirically rich collection of essays analyse non-state sustainability initiatives that, together, have significant potential to help navigate the complex challenges ahead. This book should be read by everyone with a stake in sustaining life on earth - in other words, all of us. -- Clare Saunders, Professor of Environmental Politics, Environment and Sustainability Institute, University of Exeter, UK
