EPW review of environment and development

In December 2021, we presented a Review of Environment and Development that focused on environmental governance—the institutional arrangements for making decisions—across various sectors: water and air pollution, infrastructure projects, climate negotiations, and the associated environmental jurisprudence. This time, we are delighted to bring to the readers of EPW a wider array of papers covering the social, biophysical, technological, and political dimensions of various environmental issues. We start with the more “rural” or “traditional” issues—wildlife conservation, forest governance, water management, and coastal ecosystems—and then move on to the more “urban” or “modern” environmental problems, such as pollution regulation, renewable energy, climate change, and finally, the question of consumption patterns. These categories are of course fluid and rapidly merging: climate change is all-encompassing, with mitigation actions covering electricity and forests, and adaptation required as much in urban heat islands as in agriculture.- Reproduced
