Summary:

"This book provides an innovative theoretical framework for studying the governance of the local co-creation of environmental solutions. Expert contributors comparatively analyse a series of international case studies to discern similarities and differences across local collaborations between public, private and civic actors working towards the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Focusing on local sustainability transitions from a broad spectrum of socio-political regimes, contributors examine key questions concerning the role of community capital, cultural context, conflict mediation and public sector capacity. It discusses empirical findings from the GOGREEN Project, exploring factors which support and challenge activists in their efforts to co-create sustainability transitions. Chapters assess the impact of private entrepreneurs initiating and facilitating green co-creation, as well as conflict resolution in sustainable energy projects. International in scope and perspective, this is an essential read for researchers and graduate students of public policy, environmental studies and sustainable governance. Policymakers and practitioners working in environmental governance and regulation, as well as those focusing on implementing the SDGs, will likewise benefit from its novel and timely analysis"-- Provided by publisher.
