Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction : change in the age of sustainability -- Ukama : emerging metatheories for the twenty-first century -- Understanding our finite world -- Global crisis and transition : a long wave perspective -- Futuring, experimentation and radical incrementalism -- Ecocultural alternatives across the global South -- Developmental states and sustainability transitions -- Global energy transition, energy democracy and the commons -- Resisting transition : electromasculinity and the rise of authoritarianism -- Towards an evolutionary pedagogy of the present -- Concluding reflections of an enraged incrementalist.
"With transitions to more sustainable ways of living already underway, this book examines how we understand the underlying dynamics of the transitions that are unfolding. Without this understanding, we enter the future in a state of informed bewilderment. Shedding light on the highly complex challenge of a sustainable and just transition, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned with establishing a more sustainable and equitable world. Ultimately, this is a book about hope, but without easy answers"--
