Despite being a relatively young sub-discipline, European environmental sociology has changed considerably in the last decades towards more interdisciplinary collaborations and problem solving. Current trends such as global environmental modernization and processes of economic, political and socio-cultural globalization, fuelled by developments of transport, environmental flows, scientific uncertainty, and information technologies, have fostered new conceptual approaches that move beyond classical sociological mind-sets toward broader attempts to connect to other disciplines. Environmental Sociology is the first book to broaden the realm of environmental sociology by forging links to other environmental disciplines, such as environmental policy, media studies, geography, ecological economics, ecological modeling, or ecological design. The book's focus on current environment-related issues in interdisciplinary developments are not only of relevance for strengthening environmental sociology but will make it a great read for upper undergraduate and graduate courses in social sciences dealing with environmental topics.

Der Übergang in eine nachhaltige Gesellschaft ist eine der zentralen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Eine wichtige Voraussetzung für die weitere Etablierung von Nachhaltigkeit liegt in der Professionalisierung der Entscheidungsträger von morgen. Dazu ist eine angemessene nachhaltigkeitswissenschaftliche (Aus-)Bildung erforderlich. Das Lehrbuch Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaft von Lehrenden der Fakultät Nachhaltigkeit der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg möchte dazu einen Beitrag leisten. Nach einer Einführung in die Entstehungsgeschichte von nachhaltiger Entwicklung und Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaft werden zunächst naturwissenschaftlich-technische und humanwissenschaftliche Grundlagen aufbereitet. Anschließend werden nachhaltigkeitswissenschaftliche Methoden sowie integrierende und reflektierende Ansätze zu Transdisziplinarität und Ethik dargestellt. Schließlich werden beispielhaft Problem- und Handlungsfelder der Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaften (z.B. Wasser, Energie oder nachhaltige Gemeindeentwicklung) vorgestellt.

Der globale Klimawandel hat auch in Deutschland regionale und lokale Konsequenzen. Neben der Verstärkung des Klimaschutzes zur Abmilderung des Klimawandels und seiner Folgen wächst der Bedarf einer vorausschauenden gesellschaftlichen Anpassung an sich abzeichnende Auswirkungen. Dafür sind Kommunikations- und Partizipationsprozesse erforderlich, die die betroffene Bevölkerung angemessen informieren und einbinden. Im Buch wird zunächst der Ansatz einer Adaptionskommunikation theoretisch-konzeptionell entwickelt. Am Fallbeispiel Klimawandel und Hochwasser werden dann empirisch aktuelle Kommunikationsprozesse vergleichend in den tendenziell betroffenen Stadtgebieten von Bremen und Hamburg analysiert. Eine Diskussion zum weiteren Forschungsbedarf und Gestaltungsoptionen für die Praxis schließen das Buch ab.

This textbook provides a comprehensive compilation of conceptual perspectives, methodological approaches and empirical insights of inter- and transdisciplinary sustainability science. Written by an international team of authors from leading sustainability institutions, the textbook covers key perspectives and topics of the scientific discourse on sustainable development. More than two decades after conceptualizing sustainability as societal guiding vision and regulative idea the necessity of concretizing and realizing sustainability in societal praxis is bigger than ever. Sharply improved individual and societal sustainable decision-making and action is necessary for a better future of humankind and the planet. On that account problem- and solution-oriented perspectives and competencies are crucial. The different chapters assemble an encompassing view of essential foundations and specific areas of research and action in sustainability science and practice. The textbook aims at fostering the further establishment of sustainability science in higher education and to enable the next generation of sustainability experts to tackle the challenging and exciting topic of sustainable development.
