Economic Aspects of the Sustainability Transition in Europe
This book comprehensively examines the financial and economic aspects of the ‘sustainability transitions’ demanded by the primary components of the European Green Deal. It asks how the EU has been dealing with the allocation of resources to foster the sustainability transition, how the additional transformations required by the ‘climate emergency’ will be financed and which actors (businesses, governments, citizens) will pay and how.Looking at how the EU has been managing this over time, through changes in the Environment Action Programmes, Structural Funds, or the Multiannual Financial Framework, this book examines policy priorities and analyses the different instruments proposed as part of this evolving context, including market support instruments for renewable energies and the creation of new instruments, such as Climate Awareness Bonds.It also highlights new developments, such as the debate on the role of environmental taxes, or the uneven development across Member States of green financial instruments.This book presents an evolving puzzle into the limited possibilities of the EU to deploy resources that contribute to the overarching goal of achieving a low-carbon economy and illustrates the need for acceptance towards changes and compromises that are required from all affected stakeholders. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of sustainable development, climate governance and EU politics, and more broadly to those working on European Studies, economics, politics, international relations or public policy.

Transition
Imagine a world that is one of infinite parallel worlds, that hangs suspended between triumph and catastrophe, the dismantling of the Wall and the fall of the Twin Towers, in the shadow of suicide terrorism and global financial collapse.Presiding over this world is the Concern, an all-powerful organisation whose operatives possess extraordinary powers.There is Temudjin Oh, an unkillable assassin who journeys between the high passes of Nepal, a version of Victorian London and a wintry Venice; Adrian Cubbish, restlessly greedy City trader; and the Philosopher, a state-sponsored torturer who moves between the time zones with sinister ease.Transition is a high-definition, hyper-real apocalyptic fable for terrible times.

Can one distinguish recycling from downcycling and upcycling?
Yes, one can distinguish recycling from downcycling and upcycling. Recycling involves processing used materials into new products of the same or similar quality, while downcycling involves converting materials into products of lower quality. Upcycling, on the other hand, involves creating new products of higher quality or value from used materials. Each of these processes has different environmental and economic impacts, with upcycling generally being the most sustainable option.
-
Can one distinguish between recycling, downcycling, and upcycling?
Yes, one can distinguish between recycling, downcycling, and upcycling. Recycling involves breaking down materials to create new products of equal or lesser quality. Downcycling refers to the process of turning materials into products of lower quality. Upcycling, on the other hand, involves transforming waste materials into products of higher value or quality. Each process plays a different role in the circular economy and sustainability efforts.
-
Does waste reduction go beyond waste recycling?
Yes, waste reduction goes beyond waste recycling. While recycling is an important part of waste management, waste reduction focuses on minimizing the amount of waste produced in the first place. This can be achieved through practices such as reducing packaging, reusing items, and implementing more sustainable production processes. By focusing on waste reduction, we can decrease the overall environmental impact of waste and move towards a more circular and sustainable economy.

Working-Class Environmentalism : An Agenda for a Just and Fair Transition to Sustainability
This book presents a timely perspective that puts working-class people at the forefront of achieving sustainability. Bell argues that environmentalism is a class issue, and confronts some current practice, policy and research that is preventing the attainment of sustainability and a healthy environment for all.She combines two of the biggest challenges facing humanity: that millions of people around the world still do not have their social and environmental needs met (including healthy food, clean water, affordable energy, clean air); and that the earth’s resources have been over-used or misused. Bell explores various solutions to these social and ecological crises and lays out an agenda for simultaneously achieving greater well-being, equality and sustainability.The result will be an invaluable resource for practitioners and policy-makers working to achieve environmental and social justice, as well as to students and scholars across social policy, sociology, human geography, and environmental studies.

Masculinity in Transition
Locating the roots of toxic masculinity and finding its displacement in unruly culture Masculinity in Transition analyzes shifting relationships to masculinity in canonical works of twentieth-century literature and film, as well as in twenty-first-century media, performance, and transgender poetics.Focusing on “toxic masculinity,” which has assumed new valence since 2016, K.Allison Hammer traces its roots to a complex set of ideologies embedded in the histories of settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and political fraternity, and finds that while toxic strains of masculinity are mainly associated with straight, white men, trans and queer masculinities can be implicated in these systems of power. Hammer argues, however, that these malignant forms of masculinity are not fixed and can be displaced by “unruly alliances”—texts and relationships that reject the nationalisms and gender politics of white male hegemony and perform an urgently needed reimagining of what it means to be masculine.Locating these unruly alliances in the writings, performances, and films of butch lesbians, gay men, cisgender femmes, and trans and nonbinary individuals, Masculinity in Transition works through an archive of works of performance art, trans poetics, Western films and streaming media, global creative responses to HIV/AIDS, and working-class and “white trash” fictions about labor and unionization. Masculinity in Transition moves the study of masculinity away from an overriding preoccupation with cisnormativity, whiteness, and heteronormativity, and toward a wider and more generative range of embodiments, identifications, and ideologies.Hammer’s bold rethinking of masculinity and its potentially toxic effects lays bare the underlying fragility of normative masculinity.

What is waste separation and recycling?
Waste separation is the process of sorting different types of waste materials into separate categories such as paper, plastic, glass, and organic waste. Recycling involves taking these separated materials and processing them to create new products, reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. By separating waste and recycling, we can help conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and minimize the impact of waste on the environment.

What are transition countries?
Transition countries are nations that are undergoing a shift from a centrally planned economy to a market-oriented economy. These countries are typically former socialist states that are in the process of implementing economic and political reforms to transition to a more open and competitive system. Transition countries often face challenges such as high levels of unemployment, inflation, and corruption as they navigate this transformation. Examples of transition countries include countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia that were part of the former Soviet bloc.

What is a transition?
A transition is a change or shift from one state, condition, or situation to another. It can refer to a physical movement, a change in emotions or thoughts, or a shift in relationships or circumstances. Transitions can be planned or unexpected, and they often involve a period of adjustment or adaptation to the new situation.
-
Is the transition good?
The goodness of a transition depends on various factors such as its impact on individuals, communities, and the environment. A transition can be considered good if it leads to positive outcomes such as improved quality of life, increased sustainability, and reduced inequality. However, if a transition results in negative consequences such as displacement, environmental degradation, or social unrest, it may not be considered good. Therefore, the goodness of a transition is subjective and depends on its overall impact on different aspects of society.
