Synopsis
In the field of 'climate change', no terrain goes uncontested. The terminological tug of war between activists and corporations, scientists and governments, has seen radical notions of 'sustainability' emptied of urgency and subordinated to the interests of capital. 'Just Transition' is the latest such battleground, and the conceptual keystone of the post-COP21 climate policy world. But what does it really mean? Just Transition emerged as a framework developed within the trade union movement to encompass a range of social interventions needed to secure workers' and frontline communities' jobs and livelihoods as economies shift to sustainable production. Just Transitions draws on a range of perspectives from the global North and South to interrogate the overlaps, synergies and tensions between various understandings of the Just Transition approach. As the concept is entering the mainstream, has it lost its radical edge, and if so, can it be recovered? Written by academics and activists from around the globe, this unique edited collection is the first book entirely devoted to Just Transition., In the field of 'climate change', no terrain goes uncontested. The terminological tug of war between activists and corporations, scientists and governments has seen potentially radical notions of 'sustainability' emptied of urgency and subordinated to the interests of big business. 'Just Transition' is the latest such battleground, and the conceptual keystone of the post-COP21 climate policy world. But what does it really mean? Just Transition emerged as a framework developed within the trade union movement to encompass a range of social interventions needed to secure workers' jobs and livelihoods as economies shift to sustainable production. Adopted now in the political mainstream, Just Transitions draws on case studies from the global North and South to interrogate the overlaps, synergies and tensions between various understandings of the Just Transition approach. Has it has lost its radical edge, and if so, can it be recovered? Written by academics, activists and specialists from around the globe, this unique edited collection is the first book entirely devoted to Just Transition. Making a robust, distinctive intervention into the debate around tackling climate change, Just Transitions points to a framework that still offers a narrative of hope.

    I messaged the seller, concerned that no photos were posted. I had questions abt this specific book's condition. Vladimir promptly replied, that inventory was too large to be able to comment on this specific book, but could be returned if unhappy. So I bought it, and am very happy. The price was very competitive, in better condition than I had expected, and sent in a shipping bag. There was no other packing/wrapping which may be an issue for some but wasn't for me. Recommending seller!

    +Items as described. +Shipped quickly +Good value for price -Multiple books ordered and were wrapped together in one thin plastic bag with no internal protection, so when the bag ripped (in transit, USPS), the books were exposed to the elements. Good thing they weren’t too badly damaged upon arrival. Shipping was delayed, but that was on USPS, not the seller. -Books were a little stale smelling, but to be expected with used books in an uncontrolled environment ++Overall, seller recommended!
