Klappentext zu „Sustainability, Capabilities and Human Security “
Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum have made major contributions to development studies and social philosophy, yet sustainability issues have largely remained outside their domain despite sustainability's significance and complex relation to their central value of freedom. This volume explores sustainability from a capabilities perspective, with the motif of human security, inviting a lively discussion within the human development family. After introducing the two approaches, authors conceptualize relationships between capabilities and the environment, examine the scientific and normative validity of environmental indicators and analyse intergenerational justice. Climate change is used to exemplify that a human security approach can add an explanatory ontology to the ethical criticisms of contemporary ways of life that champion consumerism. That ontology recognizes shared life experiences, problems and life challenges - a community of fate. The volume ends with a discussion of how the approaches can inform and sometimes critique the Sustainable Development Goals.

Pressezitat
"This book contains insightful accounts of today's most pressing human challenges, while also filling a critical gap in the capability approach (CA) on sustainable development, particularly related to intergenerational justice. ... the book is a must-read for understanding development, sustainability, and climate change politics, particularly offering thoughtful discussions on how these concepts and actions attend to the most marginalised. To move forward, the book proposes integrating the CA with human rights language and a human security perspective." (Paola Velasco-Herrejón, Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, June 19, 2022)"Sustainability, Capability, and Human Security encourages us to reflect on how we could construct a theoretical framework for sustainable human development based on the Capability Approach. It significantly advances the debates on this subject and constitutes a benchmark for those who would like to prolong them." (Jerome Ballet, Ecological Economics, Vol. 184, 2021)
