Routledge Explorations in Environmental Studies

This book explores the role of planning law in balancing the dilemma of resource extraction with the recognition of greenhouse gas emission limits.Naomi Luhde-Thompson explores how planning law, which is one of the strongest forms of environmental regulation in the UK, has failed to incorporate environmental limits into decisions. Environmental limits are broadly understood as the point at which an irreversible change occurs in a system, providing a measure by which to assess development and to test whether or not these limits might be overrun. Combining theoretical perspectives with experiential practice, the book draws upon hydrocarbon extraction to analyse and interrogate the functionality of current decision-making processes elated to planning law and climate change mitigation. It goes on to propose an amended system that expands the foundational value of public interest in planning law, recommending strategies to incorporate environmental limits, in both strategic planning and decisions.Planning Law and Environmental Limits will be of use to lawyers and policymakers, as well as to researchers, academics, and students interested in climate change, planning, and environmental law.

Routledge Explorations in Energy Studies

This book analyses the role of liquified natural gas in a decarbonising world and presents the most significant energy-transition options and implications for the liquified natural gas industry.Major investments and developments in technology have been made in recent years in an attempt to meet global demand, but energy systems require radical new pathways to meet climate goals in line with the Paris Agreement. This book explores the role of liquified natural gas in the context of the global energy transition, arguing that liquified natural gas has a role to play in terms of resources, the gas market, energy-transition dynamics/regime status, and geopolitical powers. Using a bespoke meta-framework grounded in institutional theory and case studies, the book examines how institutional, political, and resource characteristics affect liquified natural gas use. The book also explores implications for liquified natural gas exporters in the context of the energy transition and analyses the characteristics of liquified natural gas compared with pipeline gas. The multiple case study approach examines the role of natural gas in Japan, the UK, and China, three countries in different stages of the energy transition, to determine potential pathways for exporters. Utilising a multi-method procedure for data collection, including data analysis, in-depth interviews, and direct observations, the book concludes with findings on the potential role of liquified natural gas in various future stages of the energy transition.Written by an industry expert, this book will be of value to students, researchers, and academics interested in energy studies, decarbonisation studies, and environmental studies more broadly.

The Future of Liquified Natural Gas in a Decarbonising World

What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge? 'Fascinating' JAMES O'BRIEN 'Thrilling...vividly written, filled with fascinating facts, and inspiring' STEVEN PINKER Sunday Times, i Paper and Nature Book of the Year This visionary book urges us to rethink the path to net zero, arguing that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power. Dr Tim Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables are completely 'green', and debunks myths surrounding waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy. He calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme, making the bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future. *Updated with a new Introduction* 'I challenge you to read this book and not be excited about how we get on and power the world with sustainable energy for the next century' HANNAH RITCHIE 'A bold reframing of one of the most misunderstood technologies of the modern age ... This book stands out for its capacity to disarm' LITERARY REVIEW 'So interesting ... it'll answer all our questions' JEREMY VINE

Decarbonization That Works: From Targets to Results turns climate commitments into operational results. Drawing on the author's two decades of experience implementing decarbonization programs across Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and global institutions, it addresses the central challenge facing organizations: how to translate net-zero commitments into decisions, budgets, and sustained action.The book follows the same structure practitioners use in the real world: identifying emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3), reducing them through energy, fuels, materials, and operations, then addressing residual emissions through carbon markets and removals. It moves from technical solutions to leadership, workforce capability, governance, and institutional design, providing a practical system for decision-making: how to prioritize, sequence, finance, and implement decarbonization strategies across portfolios and supply chains. Part I address why action is required and what must be reduced, while Parts II and III focus on how organizations operationalize, govern, and replicate successful interventions across portfolios, supply chains, and geographies. The book includes decision tools, frameworks, and methodologies already applied across logistics, manufacturing, technology, buildings, and public-sector infrastructure.This book is a comprehensive, implementation-ready guide for executives, engineers, policymakers, and sustainability leaders responsible for delivering measurable emissions reductions. It reflects experience from programs that achieved TRUE Zero Waste certification, ILFI Zero Carbon certification, verified emissions reductions, and multi-million-dollar operational savings.

Yale Agrarian Studies Series

James C. Scott reframes rivers as alive and dynamic, revealing the consequences of treating them as resources for our profit &nbsp; A New Yorker Best Book of the Year &nbsp; "Informative, enjoyable, and provocative. . . . Scott's [prose] is dry, clear, and scalding with moral purpose."-Becca Rothfeld, Washington Post &nbsp; Rivers, on a long view, are alive. They are born; they change; they shift their channels; they forge new routes to the sea; they move both gradually and violently; they can teem (usually) with life; they may die a quasi-natural death; they are frequently maimed and even murdered. &nbsp; It is the annual flood pulse-the brief time when the river occupies the floodplain-that gives a river its vitality, but it is human engineering that kills it, suppressing the flood pulse with dams, irrigation, siltation, dikes, and levees. In demonstrating these threats to the riverine world, award-winning author James C. Scott examines the life history of a particular river, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) of Burma, the heartland and superhighway of Burman culture. &nbsp; Scott opens our understanding of rivers to encompass their entirety-tributaries, wetlands, floodplains, backwaters, eddies, periodic marshlands, and the assemblage of life forms dependent on rivers for their existence and well-being. For anyone interested in the Anthropocene and the Great Acceleration, rivers offer a striking example of the consequences of human intervention in trying to control and domesticate a natural process, the complexity and variability of which we barely understand.

Earthscan Studies in Natural Resource Management

This book examines the role of cooperatives in the sustainable management and governance of natural resources, drawing on a range of case studies from across Africa.Cooperatives play a pivotal role in natural resource management, especially in the face of a changing climate. Their collaborative nature and focus on sustainability make them effective vehicles for adapting to and mitigating the increasing pressure on natural resources. This role is particularly important in Africa, where millions of livelihoods are dependent on a healthy, functioning natural resources. The proper governance of these valuable natural resources is critical in building resilience. This volume evaluates the potential cooperatives hold in the sustainable management and governance of natural resources, bringing together both theoretical contributions and real-world examples and providing practical guidance and policy recommendations. Drawing on detailed case studies from Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and South Africa, chapters examine the roles played by cooperatives involved in the management and governance of water, energy, forests, fisheries and agricultural resources. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, integrating insights from economics, sociology and development studies, the volume showcases how cooperative models can be leveraged to effectively manage natural resources. It situates the African case studies within the wider, global context of the sustainable management and governance of natural resources, addressing key themes of conflict, depletion, and environmental conservation.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of natural resource management, sustainable development, and African studies.

Routledge Studies in Global Land and Resource Grabbing

This book critically examines the driving forces, discourses, and conflicts surrounding Chinese investments in overseas farmland, with a specific focus on Australia.With growing amounts of finance channeled into the purchase of overseas food and farming assets, China has become a frontrunner in the global land rush. Unlike much of the existing literature that focuses on emerging economies such as Brazil or Africa, this book examines Chinese farmland purchases in the developed country context of Australia. Based on four years of extensive field work in Australia and China, it traces the encounters and interactions between investors, regulators, deal brokers, farmers, and eaters that shape the ways in which individual Chinese investment projects materialize in the Australian countryside. In contrast to conventional wisdom portraying China's overseas land rush as a state-led strategy to feed the Chinese population, this book reveals that Chinese investments in Australian farmland have been propelled by the intersecting interests of international finance and business elites looking to cash in on booming Chinese demand for high-quality, Western food products. This book provides a unique transnational perspective on China's overseas farmland purchases and shows how Chinese farmland investments produce uneven geographies of agri-food globalization that cut across national borders. Through the lens of China's agri-engagement in Australia, this book advances our theoretical understanding of the new types of power relations and dynamics shaping an increasingly multi-polar agri-food system.This book will be useful to students and scholars of agri-food studies, Chinese studies and globalization with an interest in the global land rush and the shifting contours of the global agri-food system.

Routledge Studies of the Extractive Industries and Sustainable Development

This book examines the social, environmental, and political sustainability of Peru's mining industry as it seeks to garner the benefits of the energy transition between now and 2050.As the global shift toward net-zero emissions accelerates, Peru is uniquely positioned to play a vital role in the energy transition, thanks to its abundant reserves of critical minerals. This growing global demand presents an unprecedented opportunity for the country to harness its natural wealth to support sustainable development. Yet, the experiences of the past 25 years have shown that maximizing these benefits requires more than resource abundance alone. Social and environmental challenges have too often accompanied mining expansion, leading to significant conflicts around new projects. This book moves the conversation forward by offering a deeper understanding of the structural challenges posed by modern industrial mining and identifying the public policies needed to address them. It goes beyond the traditional 'resource curse' narrative to explore how mining can serve as a driver of inclusive growth - provided it is responsibly managed, transparently governed, and aligned with the needs of affected communities. A key message is that the future of mining in Peru depends on building a stronger, more democratic, and participatory state: one capable of representing all sectors of society, not just corporate interests. By learning from past missteps and committing to institutional reforms that promote dialogue, accountability, and equitable development, Peru can chart a new path. The goal is not simply to avoid conflict, but to contribute to a governance model and the building of institutional mechanisms capable of meeting and resolving variant interests in society, and that enable mining to contribute meaningfully to national well-being and long-term sustainability. While Peru provides key examples of the problems arising from mining development, it typifies problems encountered elsewhere not just in Latin America but further afield. It will therefore be of interest to a far wider readership concerned with the extractive industries.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of mining and the extractive industries, Latin American development, and natural resource management more widely, as well as those involved in government and NGOs.

Property Law and Climate Change: Inextricably Linked reveals a critical oversight in global climate action: the failure to integrate property law into climate policy and regulatory frameworks.Through systematic analysis of mitigation and adaptation strategies, Property Law and Climate Change: Inextricably Linked demonstrates how the neglect of property law fundamentals undermines the effectiveness of climate responses, with particular focus on Australia and New Zealand. The book offers both diagnosis and direction, examining why current approaches fall short and identifying how property law integration could strengthen climate responses. From land use planning to coastal adaptation and carbon sequestration, the authors demonstrate that property law must be integrated within climate change policy. By mapping these crucial connections, this book provides a roadmap for developing regulatory frameworks that work with, rather than against, existing property systems.This book will appeal to researchers in the fields of property law, environmental law and governance, and comparative law. It will also be of interest to policymakers, lawmakers, urban planners, and legal practitioners.

Routledge Studies in Ecological Economics

The degradation of the natural environment, highlighted through the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity decline and pollution of seas and oceans, continues to deepen. Contributing to the academic debates around the optimal environmental policy solutions to deal with the crisis, this book critically compares the approaches of environmental and ecological economics.The contributors to the book present a comparison of the theoretical foundations and practical solutions presented by both ecological and environmental economics. The main goal of the book is to identify the essential features that distinguish the two approaches, including their central concepts of the economic figure - homo oeconomicus and homo sustinens. The book explores how each approach equips researchers to tackle questions around reconciling the pursuit of economic growth with planetary physical limits, ecosystem valuation, renewable resources and the identification of optimal policy solutions for the EU. Ultimately, the book delineates between mainstream environmental economics as a descriptive science and ecological economics as a normative science.The book will be an invaluable resource for readers interested in ecological economics, environmental economics, and their impact on environmental protection practice.
