This volume, Climate Change and Children's Rights in Zimbabwe: Toward Social Policy-Based Interventions, provides a comprehensive examination of the intersection between climate change and children's rights in Zimbabwe, one of the world's most climate-vulnerable nations. It brings together diverse perspectives from sociology, law, development studies, anthropology, economics, and environmental sciences to challenge conventional approaches that treat children as passive victims of climate impacts. The book interrogates climate vulnerability through multiple dimensions, from legal frameworks and theoretical foundations to sectoral impacts and innovative adaptation strategies, showcasing transformative pathways for child-centred climate action that recognises children as rights-holders and active agents of change.\
The book outlines critical aspects and issues that must be understood and addressed to protect and advance children's rights in the face of accelerating environmental change. Attention is given to both persistent structural inequalities and innovative opportunities for building resilience through rights-based, gender-transformative, and community-grounded approaches. Through case studies spanning diverse districts, including Lupane, Bikita, Mbire, Chivi, Mashonaland Central, Gutu, Goromonzi, Zvimba, and others, it highlights how climate impacts manifest differently across Zimbabwe's varied ecological and socio-economic landscapes, affecting children's health, education, nutrition, protection, and overall well-being. It provides foundational perspectives into climate justice imperatives, multispecies justice frameworks, legal and policy gaps, and opportunities for transformative social policy that centres children's agency and Indigenous knowledge systems. The book is of interest to researchers, climate justice scholars, child rights advocates, development practitioners, humanitarian organisations, and policymakers committed to implementing more effective, equitable, and contextually appropriate climate responses that place children's rights at the centre of all climate action across Zimbabwe and the broader African continent.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'A wonderful book' - Tristan Gooley, author of How To Read A Tree 'Unique and thrilling' - Ben Rawlance, author of The Treeline 'A celebration of the oak as nature's masterpiece' - Daniel Lewis, author of Twelve Trees 'A glorious, revelatory tale of a tree that enlarges our world' - Patrick Barkham, author of The Butterfly Isles The enchanting biography of an ancient tree. For over two centuries, as rulers have risen and fallen and wars have raged, one majestic oak tree has lived out an epic drama. From germination in 1780 to adapting to the changing climate of the modern age, its struggles and triumphs took place far from human eyes. That is, until one day a young man named Laurent Tillon came across it, and a decades-long relationship began ... In this dazzling book, biodiversity expert Tillon narrates the story of the tree he calls Quercus. Evoking the richness which is all around us, he reveals that Quercus is embedded in a network of ever-shifting relationships, from close alliances between plants and animals to battles between insects, birds and fungi. A book of ecology unlike any other, Being An Oak offers a tree-eyed view of life on earth. Translated by the award-winning translator Jessica Moore.

Originally published in 1962, this is an important work in the history of Trade Unionism. The period covered by this volume saw momentous changes in the structure of trade unionism in the mining industry in England. In 1914 every coalfield had its own District Union. These district unions were bound together into a loose Federation. During the war years the locus of power shifted from the district associations to the national Federation. Internal arguments in the Federation based on economic and ideological grounds took place during the 1920s.A grass-roots study, this book shows why non-political trade unionism took hold in the Nottinghamshire coalfield but failed elsewhere. The importance of the Nottinghamshire pits was their economic position, which was favourable in comparison to other mines. The book examines the character and decision-making of the people who shaped the destiny of the miners in the 1920s and 30s and discusses the difficult period from 1926-1937 when the old Nottinghamshire Miners' Association was ignored by the coal-owners. The merits of district settlements which would enable the Nottinghamshire miners to maintain their relatively high wages, compared with national settlements which would tend to depress wages in the more highly paid counties are also analysed.The book will be of interest to economic and industrial historians, and students of industrial relations.

Multilateral environmental agreements have over the last four decades emerged as the preferred avenue to address inter-state environmental issues such as climate change. This book analyses the possibilities as well as the limitations of environmental treaty making between states. The book considers the structures and processes that lead to the successful adoption of the Paris Agreement - and contrasting them with other attempts that failed in bringing states together under a legally-binding solution. Christina Voigt explores the whole "life-cycle" of multilateral environmental agreements. Also emphasised is the impact of emerging economies in shaping international environmental regimes.

Sustainable Brand Leadership reveals, in simple steps, how to cultivate a leadership mentality to nurture future-fit brand management systems. These systems nurture balance, build resilience and evolve organisational cultures to sustainably achieve business outcomes. Distilling hundreds of case studies and decades of consultancy and agency expertise into an enjoyable, journey and story-based guide, this book is packed with engaging and compelling tips, best practices, and disruptive techniques for managing businesses, brands and ultimately your own leadership career.The book addresses head-on the worrying disconnect at a leadership and management level between organizations and their wider trading environment, including the community and natural world: the dangers of subsidised capitalism without effective boundaries; extreme liberalism; chaotic change management; rampant consumerism; chronic short-termism and the limitations of trickle-down and command and control management. Written in an accessible coaching-style, the authors re-examine the core hypothesis that organisations are more successful and sustainable if they focus on actual behaviour rather than clever words and promises, an increasing threat against a backdrop of rampant social media. They do this, in the very real context of the modern socio-political and commercial environment but take a positive, appreciative, balanced, business-focused and practical approach that motivates, challenges, enlightens and empowers. With quality contributions from business and thought leaders across sectors, including HRDs and CEOs, the book includes interviews and case studies from organizations as varied as Bellway, everflow, AIME, the Mind Gym, and National Trust.CEOs, COOs, Marcomms professionals, line managers, change agents, consultants, coaches and people professionals will all find this book invaluable.

This book analyzes the impact of national culture on a range of corporate carbon practices in major economies since the Paris Agreement. It does so by exploring the interaction between hard institutions such as carbon policies and regulation and soft institutions such as national culture.The book focuses on national culture as a key factor in corporate decarbonization practices, one traditionally overlooked by analytical frameworks rooted in economic development, laws and regulation. It argues that fighting climate change requires collaboration from organisations in countries with diverse cultures. Managers and various stakeholders who exert significant influence over climate actions are likely to respond to a climate threat in accordance with their cultural prescriptions towards risk, regulation, environmental stewardship and stakeholder engagement. Analysing a large, cross-country dataset covering firms from both developing and emerging companies, the book analyses firm-level decisions, behaviours, strategies and outcomes related to decarbonization. It finds that corporate decisions to decarbonize are influenced not just by formal institutions such as macrolevel regulations, climate standards and policies, but softer institutions such as national culture which either facilitate or constrain a firm's ability to adopt effective climate strategies. The book highlights the importance of context-sensitive climate governance and closes by outlining areas of future research.Sitting at the intersection of cultural studies and corporate environmental governance, this book will interest researchers and policy makers working on sustainability, accounting and environmental management.

Capitalism has resulted in stupendous growth and prosperity in the Western world, underlining its importance as an engine for creation and innovation. Communism arose to counter capitalism's ills as a method of wealth distribution, as manifested through the increasing gap between the rich and poor even in the most prosperous nations. Yet no country is either truly capitalist or communist, and the simplistic polarization of the world into two camps ignores the vital importance of systems that promote both innovation and equitable distribution. This book offers an insightful discussion on the ills that capitalism and communism have meant to address, and the pitfalls of the two approaches, most importantly with regards to the misconceptions of "profit," the misfit child of economics and accounting. Analysis is also extended to consider behavioral theories from a needs perspective, including marginal theory and behavior based on fear. Finally, the concept of the new, "middle way" of entrepreneurism is advocated, in which the voices of all stakeholders (including the environment and the earth itself) are considered in any endeavor, thereby addressing the iniquities in distribution, while emphasizing the creative and innovative needs of all individuals.

This book explores the influence of religion, culture, community, and digital innovation as key dimensions of climate change communication in Asia.As climate change continues to shape our world, effective communication plays a vital role in bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and public action. Against this backdrop, this book examines the role of climate change communication in Asia by showcasing unique cases and examples from selected countries including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, India, the Philippines, China, South Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, and Kazakhstan. Divided into four key Parts, the chapters draw on a broad selection of examples including rising sea levels in Jakarta, increasing numbers of typhoons in East Asia, extreme heatwaves and climate-induced agricultural losses in India and Pakistan and accelerated glacial melt in Central Asia.Overall, the book demonstrates the important of distinguishing regional experiences from Western perspectives and highlights the critical role that climate change communication plays in raising awareness and promoting informed responses in Asian countries. Multidimensional Climate Change Communication in Asia will serve as a valuable reference source for students, academics and industry professionals at both local and global levels.

Multidimensional Climate Change Communication in Asia

How can a country industrialise without causing environmental damage? How do development professionals ensure they act in the interests of recipients, rather than their own donor country? And how is the humanitarian project of development complicated by ideological objectives? The fourth edition of this renowned textbook covers the most urgent issues facing the field of development. With the return of Russia as a global actor, renewed conflict in the Middle East, and global inequality exacerbated by climate change and global health crises, the questions underpinning international development are increasingly fraught. For most of its history, international development was shaped by Cold War competition; at the turn of the twenty-first century, the paradigm shifted as China assumed a greater role, and post-9/11 US development initiatives were intended to reduce militancy in the Middle East. As these tensions return to the world stage, it is ever more important for students to ask what development is - or should be - and what it can achieve. With increased attention to gender and postcolonial perspectives and strong coverage of security, economics and global order, this book is essential reading for students of international development.
