In an age of climate and social emergencies, how should we think about the concept of sustainability? This interdisciplinary book explores this central question, shedding light on often unexpected pathways toward a just and realistic transition.
What if the concept of “sustainability” had become too vague to be effective? In an age of climate and social emergencies, this book offers a critical and multidisciplinary exploration of sustainability. Legal scholars, anthropologists, ecologists, and economists question its scope, its misuse, and its real-world applications—caught between idealism and opportunism. Born from an international symposium, the book delves into the tensions between the economic, social, and environmental pillars, and proposes new conceptual and practical tools to redefine sustainability in light of 21st-century challenges. Through case studies and theoretical insights, it sheds light on the often unexpected pathways toward a just and realistic transition. A must-read for anyone engaged in or curious about how to think and act sustainably—beyond the buzzwords.
