Underlining the contested nature of sustainability, this Handbook provides an overview of the various definitions and perspectives through which sustainability governance can be studied. Contributors analyze governance at different levels, such as national, industry or organizational levels, covering key issues across a range of industries including garment, oceans, mining, energy, and finance. This Handbook emphasizes underrepresented viewpoints, such as feminist and Indigenous, fostering both conceptual advancements and practical applications for the governance of sustainability challenges.
The Handbook of Research on Sustainability and Governance is a valuable resource for scholars and students of sustainability, environmental politics, political economy, regulation and governance, and organizational sustainability.
