| Research interests | Can socially sustainable societies really be fair and environmentally friendly? There is a need to examine the social dimension of politics and the administration’s understanding of sustainability, which goes beyond a focus on better technology and economic reforms. We need a greater understanding of the social dimension of low carbon technology and development policy in both high-income and low-income countries. There is a great need to combine research on both social and technological innovation on the one hand and social and environmental justice on the other. The big question is whether we can change our market economy to become sustainable or whether society will need to make a radical transition to a more deeply ecological society. |
