Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This open access book is a 2022 Nautilus Gold Medal winner in the category "World Cultures' Transformational Growth & Development". It states that the societal fault lines of our times are deeply intertwined and that they confront us with challenges affecting the security, fairness and susta…inability of our societies. The author, Prof. Dr. Patrick Huntjens, argues that overcoming these existential challenges will require a fundamental shift from our current anthropocentric and economic growth-oriented approach to a more ecocentric and regenerative approach. He advocates for a Natural Social Contract that emphasizes long-term sustainability and the general welfare of both humankind and planet Earth. Achieving this crucial balance calls for an end to unlimited economic growth, overconsumption and over-individualisation for the benefit of ourselves, our planet, and future generations. To this end, sustainability, health, and justice in all social-ecological systems will require systemic innovation and prioritizing a collective effort. The Transformative Social-Ecological Innovation (TSEI) framework presented in this book serves that cause. It helps to diagnose and advance innovation and spur change across sectors, disciplines, and at different levels of governance. Altogether, TSEI identifies intervention points and formulates jointly developed and shared solutions to inform policymakers, administrators, concerned citizens, and professionals dedicated towards a more sustainable, healthy and just society. A wide readership of students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in social innovation, transition studies, development studies, social policy, social justice, climate change, environmental studies, political science and economics will find this cutting-edge book particularly useful.As a sustainability transition researcher, I am truly excited about this book. Two unique aspects of the book are that it considers bigger transformation issues (such as societies relationship with nature, purpose and justice) than those studied in transition studies and offers analytical frameworks and methods for taking up the challenge of achieving change on the ground.- Prof. Dr. Rene Kemp, United Nations University and Maastricht Sustainability Institute Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Winner of the 2026 Nautilus Gold Award in World Cultures Transformational Growth & Development and the Nautilus Special Honors Award:Transformative Systems Vision. Winner of an International Impact Book Award, April 2026.This groundbreaking open access volume introduces eco-social contracts…as a bold and actionable vision for addressing the major, interconnected crises of our timeclimate change, biodiversity loss, rising inequality, and the erosion of public trust and democratic legitimacy. At its heart lies a fundamental realization that can no longer be ignored: the social contract has been broken for billions of people. As a result, the bonds between people, planet, and power must be rewoven.Increasingly recognized by the UN, global assessments such as the IPBES Transformative Change Assessment, and by a growing international community of civil society leaders, youth movements, and NGOs, eco-social contracts call for renewed solidarity, systemic equity across generations and communities, inclusive governance, and a fundamental transformation of economic systems.They challenge dominant economic paradigms and present a holistic and compelling alternativeone that rebalances our relationships with nature, institutions, and one another. This book captures that momentum, blending visionary thinking and grounded inspiration with hard-won lessons on unlocking and mobilising collective agency.Rooted in diverse knowledge systemsfrom Indigenous cosmologies and feminist and care-based economics to regenerative development and post-growth thoughtit brings together contributions from leading scholars, practitioners, artists, and activists across the globe. Bridging theory and practice, it offers vital insights into how regenerative, inclusive, and just futures can be co-created.For changemakers, students, and all those seeking hope, direction, and clarity in a time of global uncertainty, this book is both a call to action and a guide for transformationinviting readers to imagine and co-create sustainable and just futures our hearts and minds know are possible.Selected EndorsementsInger Andersen Executive Director, UNEP: This volume is a progressive and constructive contribution to building societies in harmony with nature.Mary Robinson The Elders, and Former President of Ireland and UN High Commissioner: This book makes clear that a new eco-social contract must be built on structural justice, intergenerational equity, and inclusive governance.Jayati Ghosh - Club of Rome, and UN High-Level Advisory Board on Economic and Social Affairs: An incredibly timely and significant book that could not be more relevant for our current planetary emergency. Some light in the seeming darkness!Kumi Naidoo President, Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative: This book convincingly shows why and how we must transition from systems that devalue life to economies that cherish well-being and shared prosperity.Karen OBrien Co-Chair, IPBES Transformative Change Assessment: This book shows how we can recognize ourselves as agents of change. When we do, new realities become thinkable and actionable.Daan Zieren, Chair Youth Climate Movement (The Netherlands), part of the We Are Tomorrow Global Partnership (WAT-GP): Young people feel the urgency of the climate crisis, but they lack the perspective of a structural solution. For a shared vision of the future, we need new forms of involvement. The eco-social contract offers an inspiring example of how we can build a sustainable future together."</em Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

It states that the societal fault lines of our times are deeply intertwined and that they confront us with c…hallenges affecting the security, fairness and sustainability of our societies. The author, Prof. Dr. Patrick Huntjens, argues that overcoming these existential challenges will require a fundamental shift from our current anthropocentric and economic growth-oriented approach to a more ecocentric and regenerative approach. He advocates for a Natural Social Contract that emphasizes long-term sustainability and the general welfare of both humankind and planet Earth. Achieving this crucial balance calls for an end to unlimited economic growth, overconsumption and over-individualisation for the benefit of ourselves, our planet, and future generations. To this end, sustainability, health, and justice in all social-ecological systems will require systemic innovation and prioritizing a collective effort. The Transformative Social-Ecological Innovation (TSEI) framework presented in this book serves that cause. It helps to diagnose and advance innovation and spur change across sectors, disciplines, and at different levels of governance. Altogether, TSEI identifies intervention points and formulates jointly developed and shared solutions to inform policymakers, administrators, concerned citizens, and professionals dedicated towards a more sustainable, healthy and just society. A wide readership of students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in social innovation, transition studies, development studies, social policy, social justice, climate change, environmental studies, political science and economics will find this cutting-edge book particularly useful. ¿As a sustainability transition researcher, I am truly excited about this book. Two unique aspects of the book are that it considers bigger transformation issues (such as societies¿ relationship with nature, purpose and justice) than those studied in transition studies and offers analytical frameworks and methods for taking up the challenge of achieving change on the ground.¿ - Prof. Dr. René Kemp, United Nations University and Maastricht Sustainability Institute.
