Description

Working-Class Environmentalism: An Agenda for a Just and Fair Transition to Sustainability

This book presents a timely perspective that puts working-class people at the forefront of achieving sustainability.

Bell argues that environmentalism is a class issue, and confronts some current practice, policy and research that is preventing the attainment of sustainability and a healthy environment for all. She combines two of the biggest challenges facing humanity: that millions of people around the world still do not have their social and environmental needs met (including healthy food, clean water, affordable energy, clean air); and that the earth's resources have been over-used or misused.

Key Topics Covered

This academic text examines the intersection of environmental policy and social class, addressing critical gaps in mainstream environmentalism. The book challenges conventional approaches that overlook working-class communities while exploring practical solutions to ecological crises that prioritize both environmental protection and social equity.

Bell explores various solutions to these social and ecological crises and lays out an agenda for simultaneously achieving greater well-being, equality and sustainability. The result will be an invaluable resource for practitioners and policy-makers working to achieve environmental and social justice, as well as to students and scholars across social policy, sociology, human geography, and environmental studies.

Ideal For

Students and scholars in social policy, sociology, human geography, and environmental studies will find this book essential for understanding the relationship between class inequality and environmental degradation. Policy-makers and practitioners working in environmental justice, climate policy, and social welfare can apply the frameworks presented to develop more inclusive sustainability initiatives.
