Framing in Sustainability Science

Framing in Sustainability Science, Volume 1, provides a comprehensive examination of how sustainability challenges are defined and understood. Shogo Kudo explores the process of framing, which involves identifying subjects, setting boundaries, and defining complex problems within the fields of science and math. This academic work moves beyond traditional discussions of solutions to analyze the actual framings applied to issues like climate change, sustainable development, and rapid urbanization. By investigating the origins of current sustainability discourse, the text offers critical insights into how these topics are constructed.

The book is organized into two distinct parts, featuring a conceptual section on theory and a case section focused on empirical applications. This structure assists researchers and practitioners in the politics and social sciences by highlighting diverse ways to comprehend sustainability. As a resource for nature and ecology and public affairs and policy, Framing in Sustainability Science, Volume 1, helps readers identify implicit framings within environmental and social discourses.
