Sustainability Principles and Practice

This enhanced for Sustainability Principles and Practice includes a range of additional interactive content for readers. It showcases international case studies from around the world, including Europe, Asia, and the Global South, with collapsible boxes in the text providing further details, such as definitions, drivers and impacts, to demonstrate how the topics in the book have been incorporated into real-world examples. A comprehensive pop-up glossary encourages exploration of key concepts for students, helping to broaden their knowledge and understanding, and a series of 'How-To' pages with expandable insights equips them with life-long practical skills such as grant writing, policy writing, sustainable event planning and project management. Each chapter explores one aspect of the field, first introducing concepts and presenting issues, then supplying tools for working toward solutions, including further reading and discussion questions. Elements of sustainability are examined piece by piece, and coverage ranges over ecosystems, social equity, environmental justice, food, energy, product life cycles, cities, and more. The 3rd edition includes greater coverage of resilience and systems thinking, an update on the Anthropocene as a formal geological epoch, the latest research from the IPCC, and a greater focus on diversity and social equity, together with new details such as sustainable consumption, textiles recycling, microplastics, and net-zero concepts. The book is supported by a companion website with further links, white papers, and case studies, together with projects, research problems, and group activities, all of which focus on real-world problem-solving of sustainability issues. This textbook is designed to be used by undergraduate college and university students in sustainability degree programs and other programs in which sustainability is taught.Additional ISBNs9780367365196|9780367365219|9780429346668|9781000387285|9781000387384, 0367365197|0367365219|0429346662|1000387283|1000387380, 9780367365196Sustainability Principles and Practice 3rd Edition by Margaret Robertson and Publisher Routledge.
