Routledge is proud to support the global Earth Day movement in 2022. Our Environment and Sustainability publishing focuses on the most critical issues of our time, including climate change, conservation, sustainable development, food, waste, and ecological health. Driven by three dedicated environment and sustainability editors, we have published an extensive range of books supporting researchers, academics, practitioners, students, activists and policymakers in their vital work. This year, we want to highlight some of our most impactful offerings that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including (2) Zero Hunger, (3) Good Health and Well-being, (6) Clean Water and Sanitation, (11) Sustainable Cities and Communities, (12) Responsible Consumption and Production and (13) Climate Action.

Both humanity and our planet exist at a critical turning point due to climate change and the resulting environmental challenges we face. Sustainability solutions need to be a focal discussion in the fight against global warming. Explore with us future innovations in our Environment and Sustainability blogs:
Combating Climate Change: The Role of Science and Engineering offers an overview of how we might recentre sustainability in today’s world. There needs to be a disruptive change in the way our society understands the world. How businesses operate, how we educate students and how science influences and communicates with our political leaders and the general public, needs a rethink.
One day the world will run out of fossil fuels. Discover how sustainable energy matters and its significance when it comes to the future of our planet in What is Sustainable Energy and Why Do We Need It?
With scientists and policy makers assessing and debating our next steps, the impetus to “value nature” has never been more compelling. Is it a question of financial valuation, assessing natures ‘resources’ for their monetary worth? Or a societal value – how we, the citizens of the world, demonstrate how much we value nature in our care for it? Join 6 motely characters as they tackle these complex ideas and their recommendations for a sustainable future: Nature: Can We Put a Value on it?
To celebrate Earth Day 2022, we have curated a range of short think pieces written by experts in the field, many of whom are also Routledge authors. Insightful and pertinent, they anchor each of the featured Sustainable Development Goals in real-world examples or academic theory and commentary, and demonstrate how each Goal might inspire action for a sustainable future.
