Post from Ms.Karin Hosking, CSIRO
We are delighted to announce the release of the new book
Social Science and Sustainability (Eds. Heinz Schandl and Iain Walker) on 1 June 2017.
Sustainability policies shape the ways that society
and the economy interact with the environment, natural resources and
ecosystems, and address issues such as water, energy and
food security, and climate change. These policies are complex and are,
at times, obscured by contestation, uncertainty and sometimes ignorance.
Ultimately, sustainability problems are social problems and they need
to be addressed through social and policy
change.
Social Science and Sustainability draws on
the wide-ranging experience of CSIRO’s social scientists in the
sustainability policy domain. These researchers have extensive
experience in addressing complex issues of society–nature
relationships, usually in interdisciplinary collaboration with natural
scientists. This book describes some of the evidence-based concepts,
frameworks and methodologies they have developed, which may
guide a transition to sustainability. Contributions range from
exploring ways to enhance livelihoods and alleviate poverty, to
examining Australians’ responses to climate change, to discussing
sociological perspectives on sustainability and how to make policy
relevant.
Researchers, policy-makers and decision-makers
around the globe will find this book a valuable and thought-provoking
contribution to the sustainability literature. It is also suited
to academics and students in postgraduate-level courses in social
sciences and sustainability, or in courses in applied sociology, applied
social psychology and other applied social sciences.
The book is available for sale at
